 | | Besides receiving a gold medal, each winner of a first prize was crowned with a laurel wreath by the hands of the King, who entered into the spirit of the affair with undisguised pleasure, oftentimes laughing heartily at the wearer's discomfort. |
 | | Ralph Craig of Detroit, winner of the 100 and the 400 meters races, had the honor of being the first athlete called up. |
