served as a natiomial festival , the cit ) ' being
gaily and briiilAtitty decorated and thousands
of elghtsepr being abroad , Many visitors
are bore , attracted by the athletic evente ,
The day opened with a religious ceremory ,
the singing ofa To Deum in the cathedral ,
This was attended by the royal family anti a
great th'rong ot' spectators and auditors ,
Although flue , nky as overcast and threat-
enel ( rain it did not detract in any appre.
ciable ( legree front thio enthusiastic interest
in the sports. The number of spectators
who looked in at the contests o estimated
at S0hJ0G-a gathoFihg of trimly Homeric Iwo-
vol tions.

front iiu advantageous point' at view , and at

earicourse. of people , , eager in interest , yet
silent and attentive , under the opep sky ,
to th ceremony. the religious touch which
was given to the exercises , the hbtoric
associations of the place and the almost
reverent lurposo manifested to revive in
