Thursday, August 6, 1936, the fifth day of the Olympic Games, will stand out as a red letter day in the history of ath- letics, for two new world records were set up, one existing world record equalled, and one new Olympic record established, as well- as an Olympic record being equalled, in the course of five field and track events.
Honours were divided among five countries, for Germany, New Zealand. Japan. America, and Italy each won a gold medal in the five athletic finals.
Perhaps the most thrilling race was the Men's 1,500 Metres, which was won by Jack Lovelock (New Zealand) by 10 yards in world record time. — Trans-Ocean Service.

An unconfirmed report claims that the Loyalists have captured Cadiz. If this is true this will deprive the insurgents of their chief fort and drive a wedge into the middle of their forces in Andalusia. It is also claimed that the loyal troops are almost at the gates of Granada, having driven the insurgents out of the Alhama fortress, which is the key to the city.
