Plans for Olympic Games in London

The fourth celebration of the Olympic games will be held in July, 1908, in London. The project is receiving enthusiastic support. Valuable prizes will be offered, and as many forms of sport as is practicable will be included in the order of events.

Besides the regular gold, silver and bronze medals, certain challenge prizes have been offered by private individuals and societies. Among these is an exact reproduction of the Pourtales vase in the British Museum, on a specially designed pedestal to be competed for by amateur epee fencers, and offered by the Fencers of the United Kingdom. Mme. de Montgomerie has offered a prize for the discus, and the $1000 challenge shield, offered by the National Physical Recreation Society, will be open for all comers in this event. The games will take place soon after the Henley regatta.
