large enough to comfortably hold 10,
600 men. This is where delegates
alternates and spectators will mass
! before the sessions are called to order.
Viewed from the wide galleries above
the scene will be an inspiring one. On
this floor the campaign orator, who has
been denied seat as delegate, can
harangue to his hearts content until
the convention is called to order. On
this broad floor the marching club
with its gay banners and important
military band will be III all its glory.
The Coliseum as it now appears is we'll
worth visit from those who appre-
ciate great engineer enterprise. The
twelve great trusses are in position,
and work on the roof will be begun
next week. The steel work is in charge
of Carl Binder and has been inspected
and approved by the best scientific
engineers and experts in the country.
The Coliseum is easily the largest
building under single roof in the
world. The trusses span 215 feet at
their base, and at their apex are nearly
100 feet from the floor. Every piece of
metal has been thoroughly inspected
and tested. The building is all steel,
iron and glass, with ths exception of
the floor, and is as nearly fireproof as
modern science can make it.
A large force Of men is now at work
and the contractors have no doubt the
building will he completed before June
/, when Buffalo Bill and his Wild West
show will take possession of the Coli
scum and the surrounding grounds.
Buffalo Bill will give his Indians full
play until June 15 and three days
later the National Cycle Exhibition
company will hold series of races and
all exhibition. On the night of July 4
a grand patriotic musical festival will
be held and on the 7th of July the
Democratic national convention will
convene. The cycle tournament will
be resumed on July % and will con-
tinue three days.
1t is expected that the Southern
States exposition will occupy the Coli
scum from August to October 10, but
in the event that other arrangements
are made, a great spectacle, similar to
Kiralfy's America, Venice, CONSTANT
nople, Old India, or The Orient, will be
held. Barnum & Bailey will take pos
session on October 10 and will remain
until November l. On November the
horse show will have the boards and
on November II the fat stock show
will follow for eleven days. From No
vemter % to November 2S there will
be cycle tournament. Thanksgiving
day the first regular foot ball ever
held indoors will be witnessed by
thousands of people. The Coliseum is
large enough for a regular sized foot
ball ground, with spaces on the side
for carriages and thousands of spec
tators. Chicago is now in a position
to rival ancient Greece as the home of
athletic sports. In Athens the cli-
mate is such that games can be sched-
uled without any danger from the
weather. Not so in Chicago, but an
arched roof inclosing five acres of
ground and a comprehensive steam
heating plant will overcome this eli
matte effect. Under the roof of the
Coliseum there is plenty of room for a
100-ysrd straightaway course. There
will be laid a quarter mile bicycle
track.-Ohicago Times-Herald.
