 Americana Nip and vuok-
 Perhaps never before lave there been two such contests as the 5000 metres and 1,500 metres ran on the same day. In the latter it vas a grueL- ing contest from start to hniah Abel R. Klviat and Norman s. Taber, tho American representatives, aame into the stretch together Jackson all the way around the last lap went at ter rife pace, passing four men en order tO get up with the leaders. With Kivtat slightly in advance ten yarAa from the tape. Jackson fairly leaped ahead and fell exhausted into the arms of his friends,
 So close was the race for second place between KlViat and Tabor that the judges reserved their de1Bion until a photograph of the finish Naa dsveA- oEa1 bafaua aapaf4ttetvrer H1RA nH..nTpH V,A third men,

 There is no denying that the Anerf- can family party lodging on the ship Finland are disappointed tontght. The optimistic expectations of the Ameri- cans suffered two hard reVerses. This Olympic Is proving that Great Britain and the United States must waive their traditional monopoly of field sports since other nationaltties have set them selves seriously to demonstrate that they are possessed of as much muscle and endurance as the pioneers in field athletics and that the only difference is that they came into the game later But they are working hard and sue cessful1y to catch up.
 Americans Lack Endurance.
 The two catannfties under corstlers- ton, so far as tho Americans arc con- verned, involved matter of dfstsnce running and seemed to demonstrate what British sportsmen have always | contended, that however -unconQnerable Americans may be in performances re- | quiring quickness, they are apt to meet | their superiors when 1t comes to the | test of endurance. Neither the, ,Arneri- can continent nor the British empire shone In the 5,oo0 metres run The long legged Finn, Holehmainens and by themselves.
 JacIcson's Marvellous Fesk.
 With such men as Kivfzt. Jones. Shepherd and Taber in the 1,500 rnetrea event, Americans had every reason ta be hopeful, but the Oxford representa- tive, Jackson, who comes of fAmoua white family. although he docs not look the part proved to have the necessary stoutness of heart and speed to carry h1m past @ flying field for England. His achievement will be re- membered as long as foot racing fl talked about. His victory, however was popular because his modest par sonaIity had made a strong impression in every national camp here.
 Several Veterans outdoaA.
 The meeting shows that the vetsrAni must be reconciled to the younger mex taking their places. Shepherd, who as London was king of the track fount that the youths were his betters in thu L500. Ralph Rose, a former Olympt' winner, took second place to P. J. Mo Donald at putting the shot ebest hand) in which the winner established a new record of approximately 80 feet { inch es. At that, Rose also beat the ok record with a put of a fraction over 5' feet
