A protest entered against Anspach. OF
Belgium. by Sonenson, of Sweden, was
allowed by the Judges, and occasioned
considerable delay in the wrestling bouts.
The water pole furnished considerable
diversion, especially the game between
the Austrians and Hungariars, which
the latter won. 1t was a terrific battle
all the way.
One of the most picturesquely striking
features of the meeting greeted the
throng OF sport lovers they filed out
OF the stadium at the conclusion OF to-
days programme. Immediately outside
the grounds was gathered together one
Of the most enormous multitudes ever
assembled anywhere. The cause of the
mobilization was a festival by the Swe-
dish choirs. Between 1900 and 1000 sing
ers took part, and their friends and sup
porters from the whole country came to
cheer them. The choirs paraded to the
stadium with many bands. banners, and
floats on which men and women with
streaming yellow hair impersonated his
torical characters. 1t seemed as II all
the population of Sweden was on hand.

A great controversy over the rules
arose to-day. when England protested
against changing the original rules of
the Marathon The Swedes had decided
not to allow the runners any sort Of re-
freshments along the way. The Eng
lish, Canadian. and South African run
ners had trained religiousIy for a con-

to permit the runners liquids at this
late time would seriously handicap the
chances OF Great Britain and its possess
sions. Il was officially decided tonight,
however, to permit the runners to have
water. tea, coffee, oranges. and lemons
along the route. This attitude was taken
on the advice OF physicians. who de-
clared that II would be decidedly dan
gerous to forbid drinks. particularly IN
view OF the hot weather. The sum-
