London, July Il.-There is no let-up
in the American invasion, which,
though very tardy this year, assumed
in the last few weeks the semblance
of other seasons in London. Hotel
managers proclaim full houses and
some Americans had to accept almost
any sort of accommodations which the
hostleries could give. II has been more
noticeable this season than heretofore
that the metropolis is the clearing
house of American motoring parties.
Opposite many American names on the
hotel blotters this season appear the
word motoring
independence Day celebrations
brought large body of Americans to
town. and the hotel Hobbies resounded
with the victories Of the big American
crews. However, later in the week the
sporting element was somewhat sad
dened by Ritchie's defeat at the Olym-
