OLYMPIC GAMES
MONSTER SWIMMING POOL. Received June 10, 8.30 p.m. PARIS. June 9. La Piscine, at Des Tou relies, where the Olympic swimming and water polo contests are held, is an immense concrete structure. It will accommodate twelve thousand. Access to the great open air bath, which is supported by enormous pillars, making leakage repairs easy, is gained by climbing three floors. There are furnaces beneath the pool, which is fifty metres long, and eighteen wide, to keep the water at a temperature of 75 degree Fahrenheit.
