RACING AT THE COLISEUM.
Best Bill of the Season Promised FRI
day Night.

The strongest attraction presented this
season at the Coliseum track is scheduled
to take place Friday night at S:l5 o'clock
and includes double program. Archie
McEachern, the Canadian champion, will
race Bennie Monroe for twenty miles be-
hind motor pace. after which the four mo-
tors will race In two heats of five miles
and a final of ten miles. the same as last
week.
The amateur events will be Of the first
class variety. and 1t is probable that a
match race for a mile behind tandem pace
will take place between Al Moran and
Johnny Hill. local amateurs. Taking the
program as q whole, 1t could hardly be
improved. and while the fastest time will
probably be made In the race between the
motors, fast time Is expected In each Of
the other events on the program.
Bennie Monroe Is from Alabama, and.
like Bobby Walthour, also from the south,
is believed to be q rider of the meteor
type. Most Of the men of great reputa-
tlon have been afraid to race Monroe, as
the tip has gone out that he will prove
one of the fastest riders In the world. In
Providence Monday night he defeated Nc
Cachern In q twenty-mile race. 1t was
great race, during which McEachern made
trand rushes to regain lost ground. The
men are well matched, and are well sup

and PAGERS, and in the 2.19 class for trot-
ters. The purses in each were 5000.

there were five starters, Country Jay being
a strong favorite over the field in the auc-
ton pools at 500 to $50. Country Jay won
in straight heats.
In the 230 pace there were only three
starters. New Richmond was a strong IA
yorite at to before the start. The first
two heats went to Terrace Queen, and the
mare looked like winner. In the third
heat. however. the mare stopped, and New
Richmond went ahead and won the race
with ease in the next three heats. There
were seven starters In the 2:19 trot. Neya
simmons was to favorite over the field.
The first heat was close between Neva Sim
mons and Helen Grace, and when the
Judges put out Neva Simmons number as
the winner there was considerable dissent.
The next two heats and the race went to
Neva Simmons, the mare winning handiIy.
