BERLIN. June 17.-No better testimony

the field of athletics could have been
given than the presence OF the Kaiser
onNt successive days at the stadium

Besides other motives there was that
OF family pride, since he was able to
see Prince Frederick Karl win the 1000
meter race. and by this success secure

round athlete in the German army
Prince Frederick Karl had already
gained first place both in fencing and
swimming. In shooting he had been

meter race was decisive for the whole
competition. For some reason the riding
competition has been omitted from this
