The Olympic games will be held at Athens, beginning on April 22 and extending through May 2. The purely athletic events, in which the Americans are especially interested and in which the American team will compete, are scheduled to take place on April 28, 29, and 30. The Marathon run, which is decidedly the most important event for the Greeks, will come probably on April 28. The date of sailing from New York has been changed from March 31 to April 3, and in case of delay, arrangements have been made to take the team from Naples to Piraeus in a warship or a private yacht.
