- A stadium which will seat 75,000 per
sons and which In point of size, ele
gance and excellence of arrapgement
prUl probably excel any other building
ever erected tor a similar purpose Is
, outlined in a set of preliminary plans
Just placed in the hands of Mr. Harry
J. Furber, Jr.,. president of the Olym
pian Games association. The structure.
It Is asserted, Trill house the Olympian
fames to be held in Chicago In 1904,
ays the St Louis Globe-Democrat
The building will cover approximately
leven acres, the arena alone being 800
feet long and 130 feet wide. The sta
dium at Athens, where the Olympian
games were held in 1890, was but 670
feet long and 109 feet wide.. The sta
dium at Athens seated between 45,000
and 00,000 persons. The plans for the
Chicago stadium provide for more than
75,000 seats in case they may be neces
sary on the days when there will be
special attractions at the games.
A striking novelty in the way of
roof is provided for. The area over the
eats will be roofed in the usual way,
Vj
tout the arena will be protected by
roof or left without one with almost
- the ease with which an umbrella can
be opened and closed. The roof of the
arena will consist of a series of water
proof curtains arranged on rollers op
aerated by electric motors. When the
games are in progress, the curtains
iwill be rolled back. In the event of .a
' storm all that will be necessary to put
: n the root will be "to press a button,'
fio in good weather, while the audience
iwill be protected from the sun's rays.
' the contests will really take place in
the open air, and with the aid of the
Adjustable roof postponements will be
- unnecessary "on account of the weath
er." An unusual feature is an arrange
ment for dividing the stadium. Into
three or more buildings for special oc
casions when the whole space will not
be required. At either end or In the
-center a hail for any sort of a gather
ing can be made In three or four days
at a nominal expense. Another tea
' ' ture of the construction Is that there
rwill not be a pillar or post In the whole
Interior to shut out the view from any
point. The first row of seats are five
feet above the arena and the topmost
tow sixty feet above.
The Olympian games of 1904, it is
predicted, will be greater than any ever
neld before at any period In history.
Athletics have advanced with the arts
and sciences, and where the ancient
. -Greeks had but. few tests of strength
, -and endurance there are now scores.
' The ancient sports will be reproduced
In Chicago, but the modern games of
all nations will doubtless attract great
-er attention. There will be the old
Greek foot races and wrestling and
the Egyptian chariot racing, but also
modern fencing; boxing, wild cowboy
rating everything, - in fact, except
mediaeval jousting.
The athletic end of the games will
be under the direction of William Hale
Thompson and A. G. Spalding. The
.former's duties will be to round up
-very sort of sport on the globe, and
Mr. Spalding Is to select the contests
iwhich are to make up the programme
for the month. Mr. Thompson already
has men artwork in Europe and Asia,
. as well as In America, looking for the
best athletic material available,
rresident Furber feels assured that
the programme-at Chicago will be bet
ter than that at Athens in 1SDC or at
raris in 1900, and, with a view of add
ing features not seen at Athens or
Tcr's, it has been dec! Jed to kep the
-rtaCani ccn for a rnontb Instead of
tirteea days, ts was at f r?t fanned.
WU OUTWIT8 CLOVER CLUB

Wu Ting Fang, Chinese minister, re
cently met the Clover club at Its
banquet in Philadelphia for the first
time In his philosophic life and In a
ten minutes' tussle with the wits and
interrupters of this famous dining or
ganization came off a victor, says the
New York Evening Journal. When his
turn for a tew remarks came, Minis
ter Wu said:
In arising to obey the command of
your president to say a few words I
am at my wits end what to say. . I ex
pected to say something, but I'm can
did to admit that I can't say any
thing." .v:-:;rv,'4
"That seems reasonable." dryly In
terrupted a Cloverite. ?
- "If I were to obey my own feelings,'
continued Wu calmly, "I would rather
sit down." ; '; ' vv: '
"Well, you know how we feel about
broke In another Cloverite. "Don't
stand on our account"
Wu gazed through his owl-like glass
es at the speaker and smiled Indul
gently. .'
"I have beard of this famous club of
yours," he went on coolly. "You call II
the Clover club, but why do you call it
that? It seems to consist of a number
of gentlemen who love to interrupt and
I'm glad we don't have such things in
China. It is not part of our civiliza
tion. .
unen wu: gazea around him once
more and beamed graciously. He con
tinued:
"In one respect this club reminds me
of China. In China when we have
banquet we always haW'
"Ratal' shouted a Cloverite, and Wu
saw the point or the Interruption and
laughed with the rest
Then Captain Clark, who Is one of
the three men to represent the United
States at the coronation of King Ed
ward VII., was introduced. He said:
"I can't make a speech, and a Balti
more paper says I shouldn't go abroad
unless I know how to talk well"
. Take wu with you," called some
one. r
Other guests were Congressmen Gros
venor and Hooker, Senator McLaurin
of South Carolina, Senator Penrose,
Captain Slgsbee Charles Emory Smith,
and Congressman Sulzer.
