THE COLLAPSED COLISEUM CiGags 81
PtGn.-The disaster to the Coliseum by Frida,
nights gale is the chief topic of conversation il
Boston now. and the scene OF the wreck ha.
been visited by thousands OF curious visitors
All fears that the accident would cause a post
pom. ment or abandonment of the great inter
national musical festival will not be realized
for II is the purpose of Mr.. Gilmore aud his
associates to go along with preparations Just the
same as II nothing had happened. The con
tract with the builders specifies that the struc-
ture shall be completed by the 10th of June, and
they claim that notwithstanding the delay DC
casloned by the accident, they will have il
ready by that time. The original plans of thc
building have been modified, however, and, in
stead Of making it an arched structure, it wi.
be supported by pillars, the same as the Coliseum
OF 1869. BY building it in this style a much
larger number of wOTkmen can be emplovei
simultaneously. The debris OF the wreck caused
by the falling of the truss has all been cleare
away, and the work OF reconstruction com
menced. Two gangs of men are emplOyeI
alternately between the hours OF in the morn
ing and in the evening, and as soon a. ga
lights can be brought in requisitiOn night gan
will be added.
