and participants today when It became f
known that the only Portuguese runner . ;
In yesterday's historic marathon race, F. .
Lazara, had died in the. hospital this -,
morning. He 'suffered from sunstroke ,
during yesterday' race 'and fell out. at
Sllferdel on the return Journey, after, run- ,
nine nineteen miles. ' - U
The news caused great distress to the r
king, the crown prince and other members
of the royal family. '

coming after that of the painful exhibit

lead to a change, of rules or thi
abandonment of the feature at futuri
