The skating contests were held late in April, and brought disappointment to the Americans in that Miss Therese Weld, of Boston. the American competitor in the women's skating competition, was awarded third place, although she was second in the total number of points scored.

Preparations for Olympic games of the Past, particularly at Stockholm and at Athens, were made over a period of rears prior to the contests. Antwerp got ready in hardly more than six months. The honor of acting as host for the great seventh Olympiad was awarded by the International Olympic Committee to the Belgian delegates, when the committee met in due time after the armistice, but with some misgivings as to the ability of the Belgians to make as complete preparations for the big contest as might be desired. Whether Antwerp has provided the necessary mise-en-scene for this summer's world athletic carnival is eloquently answered by comparison of the dimensions of the recently completed stadium In Belgium with those of the Stockholm amphitheatre, where the last Olympiad was staged in 1912. The Stadium The new arena is 190 yards long seventy-four yards greater than the one at Stockholm.

The width is 102 yards -twenty-live more than that of Stockholm. There is seating capacity more than ten thousand spectators, and standing room space that brings the possible total number of spectators up to thirty thousand. The Olympic stadium covers about ten square acres. It is just outside the fortifications of Antwerp, in the suburb Beerschot-Kiel.

Miss Compson first became known through her appearance In Christie Comedies. She was at work on a serial when Mr.

This It Is hoped will offset to some degree the ill-feeling that is said to exist among some European sportsmen, who claim that our country has an unfair advantage, because the war did not deplete the United States of its athletes to any such degree as it did those of the other allies. There are Americans who return that there is small ground for this objecti-be-cause, they say, the countries which are protesting the most ari the countries which will enter contestants only in such events as they feel reasonably sure of winning; whereas the spirit of American athletics is "go out and make competition," a broader policy than merely, "go out to win." The Last Olympiad At the last Olympic Games, held at Stockholm eight years ago, the American athletes carried off the track and field honors by a tremendous margin.

Their total number of points was eighty, as against thirty for Sweden, the nearest competitor. Finland and Great Britain followed with twenty-nine and fifteen respectively. Italy and Hungary tailed the list, with one point each. The United States is represented on the North.

An important feature is the elaborate preparations being made by the United States Army and Navy authorities to help the youth of the country to prepare for the Olympiad. All United States Army athletes received every opportunity to qualify for places on the American team, and a program of preliminary tryouts was adopted to select the pick of the American Army in track and field athletics, boxing, wrestling, swimming, fencing, rifle and pistol shooting and horsemanship. The problem of taking the American athletes to Antwerp and caring for them while in attendance at the games was solved in part by the Navy Department announcement that an armored cruiser would be provided for officers and men of the Navy and the Naval Reserve who qualified for places on the American team. The Naval Reserve includes many of the nation's foremost athletes, not now in active service.

Diagonally opposite the public entrance, an imposing royal arch, sixty feet in height, is located in the concrete structure. This is the point of entry for the King of the Belgians and other members of the royal family. In addition to the regular grandstand seats there are forty-eight boxes, each seating eight people, and a special row of eight boxes of honor, with the royal box and the diplomatic box in the center of this bank.

An electric scoreboard is to be placed above the triumphal arch, in full view of all spectators in the amphitheatre, to flash the results of the events as fast as they occur.
