...ARTHUR MARK CUMMINGS...
...greatest Devil of all, from a literary point of view, seems to me to be Goethe's Mephistopheles. He has little in common with Milton's Satan. There is none of the grandeur, indomitable will, and unconquerable love of independence and power, which mark the creation of the great Puritan poet. This is the modern Devil.

After the leaping came the javelin throwing, in which the object was distance, not accuracy in hitting a certain mark. The javelin was light, and had no head, and was thrown by a thong. In this event the three men who made the shortest throws were dropped out. Next the foot race was held; this was the most primitive of all the contests, and for a long time...
