THE SiX-DAY RACE
Opens at Coiseum-Goggn Baker
Team We Laps Ahead.

The Goggin- Baker team won one and
half lap at the opening session Of the
6-day race at the Coliseum, last even
ing, covering II miles and 3 laps, Gend-
ron and Gallagher made a hard fight 10
gain an early lead but despite the act
that this team is one of the fastest that
has been seen on the local rink, the
best they could do was II miles and / V
laps Sears and Emery and Neafsoy
and Follis went 16 miles and 6A laps
and 16 miles and 2h laps respectfully.
The Goggin- Baker team lost d half a
lap by bad fall by Goggin. This
team showed it's speed by reganing its
loss. Not long after Gallagher fell and
his team lost half d lap and Gendrcn,
his partner, was put to the test for a
full Is minutes by being obliged TO
skate alone against the speedy Goggn
and Gallagher. Gallagher not only re-
ccived a bad fall, but he broke his
skate which accounted for his long de-
lay in returning to the floor.
II the contest continues as fast as it
started nothing can prevent its being
the best week of roller racing ever wit
messed cast Of Boston. The teams
skate for one hour each evening and
the time should be very fast. The man
agemcnt insists that each racer shall
he coStumed in neat suit of tights,
trunks and jersey and gentlemen only
are permitted to enter this race. Spe-
cial attention is paid to ladies and chill
dren that nothing shall happen I'd
