BIGGEST ATHLETIC
PLACE YET BUILT

New York, May 11.-Plans for giving
New York the worlds greatest exhibl-
ton ground, covering an area of more
than ninety acres. and having an ampi-
theater in a main structure that will
make Madison Square Garden look
like a woodshed, have been announced
by Mrs. Harriet G. Coogan.
The exhibition ground will cover the
entire tract Of land lying between the
Harlem river and the eminence, over
looking the Polo grounds, known for
years. to baseball lovers as Coogan's
bluff.
According to the plans Of Col
James j. Coogan and his wife, who
have cherished the idea for years, this
exhibition ground and the buildings
thereon, when completed, will admit
OF every kind of indoor and outdoor
sport now known, and on a grander
scale than was ever before attempted.
There is no exhibition now given
in the United States which the new
Olympia will not accommodate with
ease. The Polo grounds, on which
John T. Brush has just obtained
lease for thirty-years, WIN be part of
the general scheme and the great
stadium to be erected on the field
wherein baseball is now played, will be
in harmony with the general surround
ings.
Primarily the new Olympia is in

various kinds now given annually in
Madison Square Garden, but will adj
