SMITH FAVORITE AT THE START (Received 12.30 p.ra.) London, July 16. Fourteen thousand people were present at the Olympia. There were many women in the crowd, but fewer than at Wells’ fight. There were numerous peers and members of the House of Commons, American Senators, professional and, social notabilities. French sportsmen were wearing tricolored ribbons. The Americans were carrying large stars and stripes to greet Smith. Elaborate, preparations were made for cinematographing the fight. A travelling platform hung from the roof within ten yards of the ring.. Smith was favorite in consequence of his extra weight and hard-hitting powers.
