At the Coliseum.

While the crowd at the Coliseum last
evening was not so large a son some
of the former evenings, there was good
sport in the 6-day roller race The en-
tire race for the evening was far more
even than on former evenings and
there was nothing to mar the clean
sport that was promised. The two lead
ing teams proved as fast as on pre-
vious evenings and the two other
teams We're far better than at any
other time For the first quarter of an
hour there was no material change in
the positions OF the men as they left
the scratch, everyone holding his posi-
ton. Later in the evening, the Cog
gin Baker team and Gendron-Gal-
.lagher teari placed few extra laps
to their credit, but it was no easy
matter to do. After half an, hour OF
fast work, Baker gained the lead over
Gendron and this brought great ap-
plause from the crowd. as the Goggin-
Baker team is practically local one.
This cad was of short duration, as 1t
was soon lost and then first one was
ahead and then the other. 1t proved
to be the most interesting of any this
week and each team shows great i'm
provement in strength and speed
The result of last evenings race was:
Goggin-Eaker. 16 miles, 2sA laps;
