Abstract
We consider a classical model related to an empirical distribution function of -- i.i.d. sequence of random variables, supported on the interval , with continuous distribution function . Applying ``Stopping Time Techniques'', we give a proof of Kolmogorov's exponential bound conjectured by Kolmogorov in 1943. Using this bound we establish a best possible logarithmic asymptotic of with rate slower than for any .
