Athletic Meeting

(From A Special Correspondent)

London, Aug. 6.

It was a real sporting bank holiday. County cricket matches attracted a total 100,000 spectators, over 80,000 were present at the International Athletic Meeting at the White City, and race meetings at Sandown Park, Brighton, Derby and Ripon all reported attendances above the average.
