with sick baby in her arms tried TO in
duce hackman 10 carry her 10 Sheldon
Vile, contrary TO the wishes of her
friends. who wished her 10 leave the
baby with them. or 20 put IL into the
Woonsocket hospital.
The woman was bound TO go TO Shell
donville and take the child also. but her
friends appealed To the police and she
was given the alternative TO go back 10
the house of her friends, where her child
could be cared for, or go TO the police
station.
She decided TO go with her friends. but
said she would go 10 Sheldonville at the
first opportunity.
The woman is about 25 years old and
the child about months. She came from
Boston and stayed with a woman at
Logic lin. The sick child was taken
TO several doctors and one OF them told
the party that the baby was liable 10 die
any minute.
An attempt was made TO put the baby
IN the day nursery, but II failed. Then
the woman made up her mind 20 go TO
Sheldonville and take the baby with her
and would have gone but for the inter-
ference of Patrolman Pooley, who said
the child ought not TO die In a railroad
train or station.

RACES AT COLOSSEUM.

The first electric light cycle racing ever
held In Rhode Island will take place at
the Providence Colosseum and that this
distinct innovation will be appreciated by
the sport loving public, there is not the
slightest doubt. This manner of holding
races by means OF artificial light Is a
novelty that has attained great popular
ity wherever IL has been tried and there
Is no reason, why every seat I'm that vast
amphitheatre should not be filled tonight
when the races are called.
The electricians have worked day and
night 10 get the lights In readiness for
this evenings events and the finished
manner In which everything has been
done attests TO their skill. AT the main
entrance the first thing that will strike
the eyes is a gigantic Illuminated sign
bearing the words Providence Colos-
scum.
The ticket offices, subways, balconies.
boxes, passageways, and in fact every
corner will be as light as noon day with
the hundreds of incandeseent and arc
lights. The track at present is lighted by
"a arc lights, but IL is intended 60 increase
these TO 36. while the enclosure will have
arc lights suspended from poles. on
each OF the four corners OF the track will
be placed large oil lamps so as TO insure
safety 10 the riders i'm case OF darkness.
The power will be furnished from two
circuits. one from Broad street and the
other from Elmwood avenue.
Albert Champion. the speedy French
man and Archie McEachern. who will
compete I'm the 25-mile motor pace race
are pretty evenly matched and the con-
test promises to surpass In excitement
that OF Memorial day. In the sprint races
all the star riders from Boston have en-
tered and some fast time may be expect
ed. AS the meet is for the benefit OF the
St Eliazbeth's home and the Home for
Aged Colored Women. IL should appeal TO
everyone charitably inclined. The races
will start promptly at s o'clock
