But Olympia soon lost its local
celebrity in the days when the oracle
OF Delphi proclaimed the spot the
favored one OF all the many centers
for games. and 1t was a national festi.
val that brought people from all over
the world.
Foot races, hurting the discus.
wrestling and boxing were followed
In time by chariot and horse races. In
the conglomeration of debris we traced
the foundations of the walls Of the
great buildings set aside for the &C.
commodation OF those entered for the
contests.
But a small portion OF the great
stadium has been redeemed from the
mass Of sand in which the river buried
all OF Olympia by change OF its
course.
The stadium. unlike that at Athens,
which has one circular end. thus
doubling the distance OF the run, had
$50 40 feet In a straight line. There
were no tiers OF seats such as we saw
at the stadiums Of Delphi. Epidauros
and Athens, but the gentle slopes OF
the hills were sufficient for the specta-
tors. You approach through a long
| walk once lined with statues. A little
to the right OF the entrance portico
extended almost the entire width OF
the sacred precincts. Under this roof
the people strolled back and forth
awaiting the call Of the herald to the
arena In front of this marvelously
beautiful portico sacrifices to propiti-
ate the gods were burned on affairs
whose foundations are easily traced
now. An archway on the left the
stadium was the entrance for the con-
testants. One arch is still standing
and Is far higher and larger than the
photograph represents. Some OF the
walls OF the long entrance remain.
having resisted the pressure of the
sand which settled there so long ago.
After we had passed through this
trench on the side of the hill we as
cended the slope to sit down on the
fiower-crowned hill in the midst Of the
asphodels OF the poets. near the low
| wall where the start was made.
The same birds that sung 1000
years ago were singing the same
the very same lovely faces to the
cloudless sky above: a shepherd boy
was piping the unaltered notes of his
ancestors with the reeds of his SIM
pie instrument fashioned as of old: a
woman in a field close by watched the

once the prize competed for. and yet

| was allowed to view the sports within
the guarded precinct. We almost felt
as we sat picturing the entrance of the
superb youths through the vaulted
archway that q trumpet would sound,
clearing the hill of the daring petit
coats that had ventured to view the
forbidden field.

The democratic national committee has decided that 1t will receive no contributions from corporations. The announcement of that decision will be regarded as having been made for political effect rather than as a preeaution for the corporations, and far seeing individual business men were not expected to force eontribu- tions to a fund to be employed for the election of MT. Bryan.
 This announcement, however, is in= consistent with the address of MT. Dunn and other orators before the Denver convention as well as with an utterance of the democratic plat form, disclaiming hostility toward corporations only because of their corporation character. It was recog- nized that cooperation was not only legitimate and proper but also nee essary.
 It must be admitted that corpor-
