OLYMPIC GAMES.
A HEAVY LOSS.
(Sydney Sun Cables.) LONDON, July 29. The insurance companies pay 2,000,000 francs loss on the Olympic Games. The receipts did not reach the estimated 800.000.000 francs.
MANAGEMENT SEVERELY CRITIC
ISED
CONTESTS TOO PROLONGED
(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) (Received July 30. 11.15 a.m.) ■ly. PARIS, July 29.
French newspapers acknowledge that the Olympic games were not a success, and the general management’s error of organisation are severely criticised. It appears to be generally agreed that the games are too long drawn out. It is suggested that a more severe qualification test should be set competitors, with a view to eliminating all those whose certified achievements are not truly up to Olympic standard. The number of competitors would thus be reduced to a quarter, obviating delays and ensuring superior quality of the sport.
