London. July u.-There is little sign OF
an immediate let-up in the crowded state
of the hotels. On the contrary the ar
rivals during the past week more than
balanced the departures, which fact Is
most unusual for the second week IN
July when the tide OF traffic generally
turns from London. Hotel managers say
they have enough advance bookings TO
keep them working at full speed until the
beginning OF August.
There is no doubt the boxing craze
which has struck London Is responsive
fer keeping many Americans here Just
how far il is responsible can better De
gauged after the Gunboat Smith and
Georges Carpenter fight next Thursday.
