History records that on the plain of Marathon, on the north-east coast of Attica, In 490 B.C., the Athenians and Platacans, led by Mlltiades. conquered the Persian forces. The populace of Athens awaited the result ol the battle, and a Greek soldier, Phidlppldes, ran from Marathon to the capital, proclaimed the news of the v'ctory. and died as he concluded his message When the first of the modern Olympic Games was organised at Athens in 1896, the Greek authorities decided to commemorate the feat of Phidlppldes by including a race over the route followed by him, and thus was Instituted the race from Marathon to Athens, which measured 26 miles 385 yards. That Is lhe officially recognised distance ol the Marathon course, although it has not always been adhered to.

It was fitting that a Greek, Loucs. a shepherd of Maiotisi, should win the initial race. Amidst a great tumult of applause, he entered the famous stadium of Athens, the re-cr nstrucied marble arena which had been the scene o( many ancient combats. Loucs was a guest of honour at the Games of Berlin, and he greeted the winner, a Japanese, Kitel Son, who won in 2h 29m 19.2s, the fastest lime ever made in an Olympic Marathon. T2re have been many great races since 189b but no other Greek has been successful, and one ol the most noteworthy was that in 1008.

The crews preparing for the Empire events 011 Wednesday did not row on Saturday, as they were in the official parade at. the opening of the Empire Games, and the work yesterday consisted mostly of light rowing for all crews. All of the crews rowed yesterday morning bin only the Australian eight and' fours and wcnt nut In the afternoon. The English eight rowed upstream In the morning, and practised racing starts, but swinging back over the course the rating at the finish was only about 22.

The crew appeared to have blended well with the new stroke, T. Turner, and the I oat moved well. The Australian eight did short work In the miming and afternoon. E. R.

Bromley, fit again, was back in the boat, but In the afternoon P. Le Soucf was replaced bv the emergency. R. B. Scott, at No.

2, as he had slight gastritis. The crew confined its work to short bursts, and in the afternoon finished at full pressure over the last quarter-mile, rating a shade under 33 at the end of the row. The clearance at this rate was good, and the boat was much steadier than lt was a week ago. The New Zealand eight did short work, mostly at ratings about 28, but In racing start practice lt got away well at higher ratings. The afternoon was spent In overhauling the boat and oars.

The crew Is fit. The work will be eased until the day of the race, and training: confined to short pieces and racing starts. The New Zealand four went over the course In the morning, but did not row In the afternoon. A club crew with splendid combination, it is getting good pace and finishes well. The New Zealand sculler, R.

B. Smith, and H. J. Turner carried out their usual training. Turner going over the course In the afternoon.

The Australian four, showing improved form, should be at its top on Wednesday. It went ovc. the course In the afternoon, and finished well In a 200 yards burst at 35. The Canadian four had two outings, and went down over the course at half-pressure In the afternoon, hut clapped the power on over the last quarter-mile.
