TEAM SAIL.

The American team Of athletes for the
Olympic games at London next month called
yesterday on the American liner Philadelphia
and the sendoff given TO the men eclipsed
any demonstration heretofore attan pied
over q team bent on honors abroad. At least
two hours before the ahip backed out into the
stream the dock was crowded with men and
women friends OF the athletes and around the
eaneplank was one seething mass--hag wav-
ing, cheering. shouting. kissing and well
wishing.
The thronR was 80 dense that Manager ffalpia
could not check on his men az they scrambled
aboard. but m entai tally told him that they
were all there eighty-four In all-and q
healthier or finer aggregation Of red blood
never left the shores Of America. In fact the
team is by far the largest ever mustered here
for foreign athletic purposes. In 1900. when
the Olympic games were held In Paris some
thing like eighteen athletes went, and the
bulk was contributed by the New York A. G.
and the University Of Pennsylvania. Two
years ago the team for Athens numbered
thirty-four. and the array yesterday was mora
than double that.
A feature Of the team was its cosmo opolltan
makeup, there being evident the strains Of
every nationality--black. brown and white.
There were English Am ericsns. German
cans and naturalized lrishmen, 90 well
as colored men. and the real native artt-
ole In two full blooded Indians. In ar

Manager Halpin had q hard task, but he did
IL to the satisfaction Of everybody. for no
kicks were heard. The men Of the different
clubs and colleges were berthed with each
other as much as possible. The same caution

team will be split UP and there will be no
large tables like In the 1909 trip.
In the matter Of club enthusiasm no such
representation has ever been seen on o ship b
pier together. Foremost In point Of numbers
was the New York A. c.. and this was arked
because the winged foot men as rule take
things coolly and never furry about whether
their men come or 60.
