POOR MANAGEMENT FOR THE OLYMPIC GAMES LONDON. July 16. Tho unfortunate circumstances which havo mado this -. h u.j iipio a failure so faa as tho general public is concerned are openly stigmatized by newspapers as bad management man-agement and lack of proper organization. Thoso responsible for these deplorable conditions aro urgently advlaed lo greatly reduce the prices of the seats and to remove re-move the petty annoyances, such as refusing re-fusing rc-admlsslon to the stadium without with-out re-payment, which tend to deter the public from visiting the Olympic games. Another grievance is that all except the expensive seats aro uncovered so that while the occupants of tho shilling and' sixpenny benches are sitting in a drench-lug drench-lug rain, tho costly-covered seats aro empty. The newspapers teem with suggestions for attracting the public, but as the management man-agement is divided between the directors of tho Franco-British exhibition and tho Olympic council there Is little chance of any effective remedy being adopted before be-fore it is too late to save the situation.
