The paved roadway dividing the Serapeum from the stadium was at first fairly crowded; but the chariots, horsemen, and foot-passengers on whose heads she looked down from her high window interested her as little as the wide inclosure of the stadium, part of which lay within sight.
When Philip had hastily explained that Zminis had imprisoned his father, the old man started to his feet with a promptitude to which his majestic person was unaccustomed, and pointed to a curtained doorway on one side of the room. "Through that door," he whispered, "you will reach the western steps, and the passage leading out of the precincts to the stadium.
Burnaby Street, running out of it, is named after a brother of Admiral Sir William Burnaby, who lived for some time in the neighbourhood.

To the south of Lots Road are the wharves of Chelsea and Kensington.
Resta earned the reputation of being one of the most skillful drivers holding the wheel in this or any other country. For six weeks, from March to May, polo held popular sway at the Exposition.

Euryale was beside herself with fear.
Then there were big fields of watermelons ripening in the sun, and women gathering them in baskets which they carried on their heads across the fields. In Verona we went to see the play in the colosseum by moonlight. I have never seen such a performance in our stadium at Harvard, and you have a right to be proud of the great colosseum.
As the crowd streamed out of the Stadium, a veteran Harvard alumnus said: "This news will cause great sorrow in one home I know of, until they learn by to-morrow's papers that the Harvard team acquitted itself creditably."

In October, 1917, before some 15,000 people, the track men of the Boston Station took part in games on Boston Common, a track carnival was held in the Harvard Stadium a month later, and in every station of the country track tournaments were held during the season of 1918.
