IS READY
FOR OLYMPIC MEET

Stockholm. March 23.-The Olympic
games which will be held here next
summer are already the chief topic of
interest in Sweden. Every day the
papers are printing long accounts of
the proceedings of the committees
which have charge of the various
branches of sport. and it is quite evil
dent from these reports that the pre-
parations for the meet are well under
way.
The stadium where the games will
be held is nearing completion. 1t is
ideally located; only half an hour by
car line from the center of the city
and in the midst of a big park. There
is nothing temporary about the struc-
of the finest athletic fields in the
world. 1t is solidly built to withstand
the effects of the Swedish climate. and
in design it embraces the latest ideas
in stadium building.
The management of the games ia
already being besiegcd with applica-
lions for tickets. and if the demand
continues at the present rate, the seat
ing capacity of $4,000 of the stadium
will he exhausted long before the time
for the games. 1t will. be advisable
for foreign visitors to book their tick
cts In advance to avoid disappoint-
ment.
The same conditions prevail in the
hotels, where accommodations are be-
ing reserved by out of town visitors
A special committee. appointed to at
tend to the accommodation Of foreigL
visitors. has been organized and is
now at work.
Entries have been received from
almost every civilized country. even
China n japan having signiied their
intention of entering teams. The team
from the United States rules ~favorite

in very contest and game with the
possible exception Of association foot.
ball. The Swedish athletes who at
tended the games at London are
strong in their appreciation Of the
prowess of the Americans. and they
expect that the team this time will he
even stronger than hat of 1908.
Rev. de Courcy-Laffan. who was
secretary of the English Olympiad,
was here a short time ago and ex-
pressed appreciation Of the manner
in which Sweden is preparing to en-
terrain the athletes of the world. He
promised that England would send
$50 men to compete in the games, and
that this team would make an ener-
getic attempt to regain the predomi-
nance formerly held by them in these
sports.
From other countries reports are
being constantly received of prepare
tions of teams for the games, and
from present indications the meet will
be the largest held since the revival
of the Olympic sports.
