Circulation Dept., At Henley At Henley-on-Thames, England, J. Beresford, Jr., slid his slender shell under the bridge, rested on his sculls in comfort, reflected joyfully that, as in 1920, he had won the Diamond Sculls. In 1922, Beresford was nosed International CHASE MELLEN "Thoroughly anglicized" out by Walter M. Hoover of Duluth. Last year, he did not reach the final heat. This year, the man laboring after him was K. N. Craig, of Pembroke College, Cambridge. In the eight's final for the Grand Challenge Cup, six feet separated the victorious bow of the Leander shell from a boatful of "Tabbies" (Jesus College, Cambridge). On the stroke thwart of the Leander boat sat W. Palmer ("Pinkie") Mellen, a thoroughly anglicized young American, still at Oxford, where his father, Chase Mellen of Manhattan, rowed before him. Mellen stroked Oxford home ahead of Cambridge in 1923 in the Oxford-Cambridge race, failed to do so this year. The Turf Thoroughbred horse-racing returned to Chicago after an absence of 20 years. The first barrier went up on an Inaugural Handicap and down the stretch came Judge Pryor, a 12-to-1 shot. Responsible for the recultivation of turf in Chicago-the Chicago Business Men's Racing Association; for oral bettingthe Illinois Anti-Betting Law and a squad of gum-shoe men. A broadside of press-agentry heralded the American visit of Epinard, Pierre Westheimer's famed French four-year-old. When the Berengaria docked, he felt his way ashore from sumptuous quarters.

When the forest was quie once more, news went abroad tha Cyril Tolley, long-smiting amateu ex-champion of Britain, was ope champion of France. To two methodical 73's, Tolley of the second day added a 71 and a 73a total of 290. Sleek "Walto" Hage spurted through the rain into secon place, lacing out a final 69 for his of the party, had not guzzled so much of the punch. After a lusty wrangle, Jean Borotra, the oldest French boy, subdued VINCENT RICHARDS He guzzled René LaCoste, pulled out the men's singles plum. "Vinnie" Richards, feeling better, joined with Francis T. Hunter to sit on R. Norris Williams and Watson M. Washburn (Harvard graduates), until they cried "Down" in the doubles. The girl guests all had a good time, too, until Suzanne Lenglen told everyone she had a stomach-ache and said: "I can't play any more." That was just after she had drubbed vigorous Elizabeth Ryan. The game wound up by Kathleen McKane, an Irish girl who lives with the Bulls, spanking big Helen Wills, from America. With Mrs. George Wightman on her side, Helen got back at Kathleen, whose ally was Mrs. Phyllis Covell. In mixed doubles, Kathleen and J. B. Gilbert won from Mrs. ShepherdBarron and J. A. Godfrey. At Glen Cove, L. I., two Australian Davis Cup players were crushed by second-string Americans in an invitation tournament. Shimizu, Japanese Davis Cup leader, defaulted. Of the Australians, Frederick Kalms went down in the second round before E. F. Chandler of California; Pat O'Hara Wood before S. Howard Voshell, Long Island southpaw, in the finals. Intercollegiate doubles champions Thalheimer and White of Texas wrested the team play from the Australians. At Indianapolis, the two other Australian Davis Cup men, Brian I. C. Norton and Gerald Patterson (team captain) succumbed in turn to John Hennessey, "Indianapolis cyclone." The event was a rain-soaked Western championship, top honors in which the "cyclone" did not quite sweep away from towering Will I down's Tilden, national champion. Olympiad "Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch!" Outside the walls of Paris, the red scoria cinders of the running-track, in Colombes Stadium, ground out a rhythmic accompaniment to the gay, brassy blaring of four military bands, as some 2,000 feet, native to the soil of 45 nations, circumambulated the arena in unison. Ahead of all other feet, moved two belonging to Gaston Doumergue, President of the French Republic. He was parading to "open"* the eighth Olympic Games. "Flags and fair ladies waved. Cheer upon cheer rang out." Close behind M. Doumergue's, moved two other pairs of distinguished pedal extremities, conveying, respectively, the stoop-shouldered little figure of Edward, Prince of Wales, and the swaying rotund bulk of Ahmed Mirza, recently deposed Shah of Persia. Came other European princes, potentates, diplomats. Came scores of officials, bedight with badges. Came the clean-limbed hosts, stripped for battle. Seventeenth among the nations (alphabetically), marched the finest athletes of the U. S., 300 strong. Up in the line somewhere strode their most-feared rivals, 60 hardy Finns, among whom the greatest names were Paavo Nurmi (distance runner entered in six races), Willie Ritola (present U. S. distance champion, bearing Finland's colors because of an Olympic ruling), Hannes Kolehmainen (long time a Marathon marvel), Porhola and Torpo (weights). The parade completed, President Doumergue sounded forth to the assembled multitude of 25,000 this version of an ancient formula: "I proclaim the opening of the Olympic Games of Paris, celebrating the eighth Olympics of the modern era!" Instantly trumpets trumpeted, cannon thundered, a cloud of carrier pigeons wheeled aloft to wing far beyond France's borders with the news. Next, Georges André, veteran hurdler, made his way to the President's box, lifted up his right hand, led the hosts in a chant of national allegiance and chivalry. A pistol cracked. Fleet forms sped *The Eighth Olympiad actually started in January with Winter Sports, at Chamonix, French Alps, as Division I of the events. Of the 21 divisions, 5 had been completed as follows before President Doumergue enunciated a belated "En avant!": I. Winter Sports, Feb. 5, won by Norway; U. S., 3 points. II. Rugby Football, May 19, won by U. S.; 10 points. III. Soccer Football, June 9, won by Uraguay; U. S., 0 points. IV. Target Shooting, June 28, won by U. S.. 15 points. V. Polo, July 6, won by Argentina; U. S., 3 points. The scoring of "events" within "Divisions" is done on the American system; i.e., 5 points for first place, 3 for second, 2 for third. 1 for fourth. Totals on June 28: America 28; France 20; Switzerland 13%; Norway 10: Uraguay 10; Finland 9. The first two events completed we the 10,000-metre run and the javel throw. Rushing over a muddy trac Willie Ritola took the former for Fi land so fast (30 min. 23% sec.) the he smashed his own world's record Wide, of Sweden, his arms high, wil awkward, was 200 yds. behind. Jon Myyra of Finland hurled his javeli 207 ft., leaving Swedish hurlers secos and sixth, Americans third and fifth. The nimble white figure that the 100-meter finalists chased to the tape was Abrahams of England. To win America's first event, the 400-meter low hurdles, George Tayl of Grinnell College, Ia., was obliged to create a new world's record of 52% seconds. George André, French oath swearer, was fourth. A leap of 6 ft. 6 in. landed Harold Osborne, Illinois A. C., in top place of the running high jump. Robert Legendre, Newark A. C., pro jected himself across 25 ft. 6 in. of ground, a world's record broad jump. ARELY, if ever, has such a group of writers been gathered together as those who have already arranged to contribute to The Saturday Review. Besides their special articles, each number will include Christopher Morley's Bowling Green, brought back to life and devoted to literature. The Phoenix Nest, a weekly column of literary chatter, will be conducted by William Rose Benét, the sometime Kenelm Digby. A Readers' Guide will be immediately opened for questions to which May Lamberton Becker will reply. Literature Abroad, also a page of correspondence in which readers of The Saturday Review are given the advantage of an open forum in which to debate literary subjects, and a complete department for the connoisseur of Rare Books are a few of the other features which will fill up the perfect measure. Special provision has been made for prompt reviewing. Throughout, the paper will be dominated by one purpose, to make it not only worthy of literature, but also literature itself. Editorially independent of all foreign control, printed with utmost care, The Saturday Review will contain, beginning with the first issue, articles of lasting excellence.
