With participants from 3-2 nations already resident at Olympic Village, only the contestants of five small nations, 'China, 'Cuba, Esthonia, Portugal and Spain, have yet to arrive before the official- opening of the tenth Olympiad on Saturday. Whereas China and Uruguay are represented by one contestant each, the United States has the largest representation with 350. Canada is second -with 120.

An interesting post-Olympic feature has been arranged, so-called AngloAmerican games between the United States and the (British Empire at San Francisco, beginning on August 14. Fifty thousand spectators are expected daily during the fortnight’s contest at the Olympiad. With the principal statdium seating 105,000, the swimming •stadium 10,000, the auditorium for the boxing and wrestling 10,400 and six other stadiums with large accommodation, 400,000 spectators can be accommodated daily. It is hoped all attendance records for the Olympic 'Games will be broken.
