!
 the e5-MiIe Event, the Big Venus Race ! --Go0d Sport Promised by Amateurs. E. c. Bald, ex-triple plate champion
 of America, and George Collett, New Haven's best speed merchant aWheel, will be the scratch men in the Colonial handicap, the one mile professional
 race, which is to be one of an interest," ] ing series of events at the New Haven | Coliseum on Howard avenue tonight. l Champion Frank Kramers name does ] not appear in the list of starters in | this race, but he will surely appear in | the big five mile Venus stakes the clos | ing feature of the programme. | The field of money chasers is large by far than that which graced the record breaking entry list for the big twenty five mile Pro" race which was decided last Monday night. That race has been the food for gossip among the local cycle fans all the week, but Man.
 ager Fred Voigt is confident that the Venus stakes event will furnish proba- bly, the liveliest sprinting ever seen on
 a small track.
 Unlike the twenty-five mile race, wherein prizes were offered to the lead- CT at every mile of the journey, the
 conditions of the Venus stakes calls for
 cash prize to the leader of every quarter of a mile.
 The conditions are identical to those which govern the big five mile races at Vailsburg, which are the talk of the racing enthusiasts throughout the east.
 Even with Kramer out of the one
 mile handicap the race is bound to be intensely exciting. Eddie" Bald riding
 from scratch in the second heat will
 have such worthy opponents to defeat
 as John T Fisher, the Chicago Whirl- wind" who has thirty yards; Frank Caldwell, the well known paced rider of Hartford, who is the recipient of 60 yards; F, c. Hausman and J. F. Ja- cobson, New Haven boys, who have 80 E,and 90 yards respectively, and Joseph Fulton of Brooklyn, who has 20 yards the best of the journey over Jacobson.
 In Collett's heat are George Schreiber of New York, who excels on small tracks and is known as the Indoor
 King and has 40 yards; Ed. Armbrus- ter of Brooklyn, Vailsburg's biggest lap prize winner 80 yards R. M. Alex ander of Hartford. who won the big five mile professional race at Newark Deco ration day, 125 yards; Mems Bedell of Lynbrook, 1S5 yards, and Saxon Will Hams, 150 yards.
 It Is expected that the winner of the final heat will develop out of the bunch of riders who start in the third heat.
 "Old Kaintuck' Kimble has 20 yards; Charles Hadfield of Newark, 40 yards; w. A. Rutz of New Haven, 75 yards; John Bedell of Lynbrook, 90 yards; Franz Krebs of Brooklyn, 110 yards, and R. A. Carni of Worcester 140 yards.
 Bedell, who has been riding in fine shape lately, seems to be especially fa- vored by the handicapper, and is picked by the sharps to win the race.
 Hadheld, who won the big twenty five mile race here last week in one of the most sensational finishes ever seen on a cycle track, may spring another surprise as he is a tricky rider and sell dom fails to see an advantage.
 Eddie" Bald, he of the Cannon hall'' sprint is riding well again and if he and Collett both qualify for the final heat they will make things hum to catch the long markers.
 There is a fine list of amateurs en- tered in the big trial handicap at two miles besides a batch of New Haven boys who will essay to win their first prize tonight. Their names are Will Ham Adams, Wego Brandt, W. E. Jackson, Louis Shufet, Walter shud- der, Charles Behler, James Morrissey F. M. Tippen, P. J, Moran and Reed E. Thompson. H. Barnaby of Bridgeport will also start in this race. the winner of which will receive a handsome dia- mond studded medal. As an extra feature tonight Arthur Holden will do some high diving stunts off the top of a telegraph pole in the infield.
 A band concert by the Second Regi- men band, beginning at 7:S0 p. n1,,. will precede the races.
