Olympics Recalled As Ancient Roots Meet Modern Rivals
The column traces the first Olympic Games in ancient Greece to modern revivals led by Baron Pierre de Coubertin in 1896 and notes 1952 as the current edition. It contrasts amateur beginnings with later professional drift and jokes about rivalries, precedents, and its influence on world events. A later section reports a record 600-horse entry for 15 harness racing events at Thorncliffe, with the Canadian Cup Race set for August 9 and increased barn and stall accommodations.
