EPINARD In ECLIPSE
French Turfmen Today Worship at
Shrine Of Massive, New Racing Idol.

Paris, April 7.-Epinard's title to
supremacy on the French turf was
seriously challenged Sunday afternoon
at the opening of the summer season
at Longchamps when Massine de-
feated Sir GaIlahad, Bird, and Niceast
in the first racing feature of the year.
Sir Gallahad, fresh from his vic
tory in the Lincolnshire handicap in
England. was a top-heap favorite
among the thousands of persons pres
ent. who made the opening of the flat
racing season appear like a Grand
Prix day. Massive beat Sir Gallahad
easily after living trailed him for
mile and a quarter of the distance.
Niceast was among the also rams,
Epinard. which was entered in the
race. declined to try conclusions with
the field. French turf followers now
feel that Epinard must meet Masslne
before he goes to the United States as
Frances best 4-year-old.
Sundays race was the Prix Dess
Sablons, at mile and quarter and
Massine won in the last few strides.

IOLYMPC STADIUM TO|
ACCOMMODATE 100000
SPECTATORS AT GAMES
Artistic as Well as Con-
uenient Arrangement
of Field Made.

Paris, April THE Olympic ath-
letic stadium at Colonies is virtually
completed and soon will be turned
over to the French Olympic commit
tee by the contractors. The original
plans called for a stadium to accom-
modate 100000 spectators, but the
economic retrenchment of the city of
Paris made this impossible.
The Colonies stadium will provide
accommodations for 10000 spectators
distributed as follows: 10000 seats in
the covered stand to be known as the
Tribune of Honor" 10000 seats in
covered stand on the back stretch of
the track, which will be called the
Marathon Stand ~ $4,000 places for
standees in stands at the entrance
of each of the four turns Of the track /;
25,OO0 places for standees in two
stands at either end of the track.
There are "a exits, each 20 feet
wide, and the architect. NJ. Faure-
Dujarric, estimates that a capacity
crowd could evacuate the stands in
two minutes.
In the center of the "Tribune OF
Honor" will be the presidential box,
to the left of which will be the tri-
Dunes Of the international and French
Olympic committees, the diplomatic
corps and the members of the Cham
Der of Deputies and Senate. The press
stand with accommodations for 800
correspondents is to the right of the
presidential box, just over the finish
line.
The stand set aside for the ath-
letes will accommodate 1900 and is
located at the extreme right end Of
the Tribune of Honor. Immediately
under the Honor Stand are the ath-
letes' dressing rooms, 3S in number.
and with accommodation for 100
athletes at one time.
Eighty shower baths, four massage
rooms and an emergency hospital
where the French Red Cross will work
complete the arrangements for the
welfare of the athletes.
Encircling the field itself is the
track of 800 metres in length and
$50 metres wide. 1t is built of fine
red cinders, providing a happy color
contrast with the green of the asso-
citation and rugby football fields in
side it and the spotless white of the
stands to the outside.
distributed just outside Of the
regulation football fields are the pits
for the jumps, four each for the
broad. high and pole vault. The jave-
lin, discus, weight events will also be
competed within the enclosure.
The swimming pool is situated a
few feet to the left of the honor
stand, while the tennis courts are
about 100 yards away from the Marc
thon stand across another green field.
