  • Source: "Since the Sunday admissions only brought in 46 francs, despite the fact that there were between 8,000 and 9,000 spectators watching the competitions from afar, the organizing committee decided to no longer charge for admissions on the following days. The refreshment bar barely covered its costs." (Mérillon 1901b, p. 74.)
  • ALT1: ... that when the Fishermen Society of Amiens (pictured) came back from the angling contest of the 1900 Olympics, they were locally referred in official speeches as "the first angling society in the entire world"? Source: The Fishermen Society of Amiens, a fishing society based in Amiens, sent at least fifteen fishermen (and one fisherwoman) who distinguished themselves by wearing the same khaki outfit and a wide-brimmed hat. They were also accompanied by a brass band and a canteen woman. Their exploits earned them a triumphant welcome on their return to Amiens, where they were referred to in official speeches as "the first angling society in the entire world." (Drevon 2000, p. 143.)
