good crowd OF spectators gathered ex-
pecting 10 witness a renewal of the in
terest Of yesterday, but they sat
through the session and found nothing
more in the way Of entertainment than
the usual gibes OF the brokers.
During the call there was considerable
offering Of stock. especially on the
Washington Railway and Electric
shares around the new levels made for
them yesterday. but there were no buy
ers today at those prices. the broker
who bought so freely having apparently
satisfied his orders.

two Columbia Railroad per cents, at

No Real Trouble at


NEW YORK, July 29.-There was

terday from James E. Sullivan. It con-
tanned this explanation over the sigma
ture of R. S. dec. Laffan, honorary sec
rotary of the British Olympic Council. OF
the omission of the American flag from
the stadium decoration on opening day.
Dear Mr.. Sullivan: I am extremely
sorry 20 hear that the American guests
and representatives have felt hurt at
the omission Of the American flag in
the decorations of the stadium 1 am
sure you will understand that this was
simply a blunder Of the decorators, who
were instructed to decorate the stadium
with the flags OF all nations, and that
the last which we should have wished
left out would have been that Of our
brothers across the sea. Pray accept
my hea-tiest apologies for that quite nm
intentional omission and believe me.
very s.rcerely yours.
R. S. dec. LAFFAN,
Also in relation to the report that
Americans We're not allowed on The
field Commissioner Sullivan wrote that
Manager Matthew Halpin was there
daily, but that no foreigners whatever
were allowed To 0fiiciate at the games.
Commissioner Sullivan in addition re-
ceived on July IS a note from Percy /,
Fisher. ct the British committee. saying
he would be pleased 10 send tickets for
every day &c any OF the American COM
mittee who wished TO be in the arena
10 save them trouble in passing L. IL
rier
Commissioner Sullivan adds the opin-
ion that the English people generally
manifested the utmost reSnprr FOR. he
American and that any friction was
caused by a few of the Olympic or
ficials. This view was written before
the disqualification of Carpenter in the
sge-nneter race.
