THE OLYMPIC GAMES.
Athletes From 20 Countries VIII
Compete for Champion.
ship Honors.


London. July f3.--Athetes from 20
countries are gathered In and near
London for the Olympic games which
open to-day and which, IL Is believed
will prove the greatest games of mod
ern times The competitors from the
four corners of the globe constitute
small army In themselves, almost
every country. following the example
Of America and Great Britain, having
entered in the various events the full
quota Of men allowed by the rules
in most cases n round dozen. As
there are 25 events on the program
the number of athletes taking part
will total nearly 1000. many of the
men, of course, representing their rc
spective countries in more than one
event.
Prelmiuaries have been arranged
for the opening day. The original
idea was to devote this day entirely
to the formal ceremony, including a
parade of the athletes before the
king, but the committee i'm charge oi
the games eventually decided 10 run
off some of the preliminarcs, and the
first heat Of the 1.500-mcter race will
be started as soon as possible after
formalities are ended The parade
which will be the largest of its kind
ever held, is to be the feature of the
ceremonies.
Tho sports are to last fortnight
and will occupy the morning and az
ternoon of each day. During the first
days of the meeting there will be a
number of events going on simulta
neously, but as the unsuccessful are
weeded out and the interest grows
only one event of importance will be
contested at n time.
The American team is attracting
by far the greatest attention. II is
realized that IL is the Americans that
the EnGlishmen have to fear more
than any other team.

Horses Slaughtered for Food.

During the year 1906, says a writer
In Harper's Weekly, there were
slaughtered for food in the Kingdom
of Saxony (Which constitutes one-thir-
ty-sixth of the area and contains about
one-thirteenth of the population of the
empire) 1922 horses and 1886 dogs.
This is an increase of 224 horses and
1873 dogs over the year 1905. In all
Germany, during the year 1906, there
were slaughtered for food $4,000
horses. This is an increase of about
10000 over 1905, and of about $4,000
over 1904.
