AT THE COLOSSEUM

A more exciting, enjoyable event In
the sporting world than a red hot bicycle
race behind pace is not 10 be named
At least, so believe a great many people
who have learned to relish those contests
as they take place from week to week
at the Providence colosseum on Broad
street. Tonight one OF the very best
attractions of the season Is TO be offered
there in the challenge struggle between
Harry Caldwell and Albert Champion,
two of the swiftest riders on the bicycle
tracks.
Caldwell last week was prevented from
keeping up the splendid exhibition of
pace following he afforded for a time.
because OF an accident to his motor ma
chine. Had he kept on, the result would
have been In doubt. for both he and
Champion were riding at terrific clip
and the records were disappearing as by
mage. Champion, through his great feat
OF passing through most Of the season
without a single defeat. has come TO be
regarded as the most remarkable rider
who buckles 10 pace. His speeding
powers are not short OF marvellous, and
should he succeed In finishing the sum-
mer clear OF one lost race. he will be
hailed as phenomenon of the purest
type.
Caldwell is one OF the cleverest pace
followers I'm the country. His rise 10
success and popularity has been steady
and deserved. In putting himself against
so formidable man as Champion he is
tackling a big proposition, but he believes
I'm his own ability and is wagering
heavily on winning this event. The race
will be OF the nerve twisting order
throughout.
The amateurs. the best lot OF whom is
promised for tonight that has appeared.
will be seen 10 advantage in a two-mile
handicap and ten-mile open race.
