in a block OF New York's theatrical
district.
Chicago capitalists, it was announced
yesterday, have obtained an option on
the Eighth Avenue block between
Forty-ninth and Fiftieth Streets. now
covered by a car barn Of the New York
Railways Company. The building will
be known as the Coliseum and will be
constructed primarily for the accom-
mediation Of the huge Panama Canal
model which has been on exhibition
for the last eight months on the Zone
at the San Francisco Fair.
II has been known for almost year
that the canal model was intended
eventually for New York. Rumors Of
rival Madison Square Garden have
also been floating along Broadway re-
Gently. but announcement yesterday
that the two enterprises were one came
rs a surprise. Fred W. Mcclellan, who
has been in New York for several
months representing the Panama Canal
Exhibition Company. last night con-
frmed the rumors and identified the
site.
The lease for the property is now
being drawn up, said Mr.. Mcclellan.

son Square Garden.
With the Coliseum at its command.
New York will be able for the iirst time
in its history 20 compete fOr national
political conventions. When the arena.
or central floor space. is used, as VIII
be the case with large meetings, the
capacity will be between $4,000 and
10000.
Mr.. Mcclellan. who has been man
aging the model in San Francisco. will
be the manager Of the Coliseum.
As in San Francisco. the canal will
be view from a moving platform, capa-
bic Of accommodating l.SOO persons at
a time. The total capacity viii be
about 10000 persons daily. Being ecu
cational in nature, said Mr.. Mcclellan.
the attraction will run seven days a
week.
Allowing two years FOR the run Of
the canal model, it is estimated that
the Coliseum will enter into active
competition with Madison Square Car
den and Grand Central Palace in the
spring Of 1918. Grand Central Palace
never has competed with the Garden
for circuses and other large shows.

location of the Coliseum. 1t is general

WHAT THE WRIT PLAN DOES.

IL takes children of the streets
and keeps them wholesomely busy
at work, study and play for six or
seven hours q day.
II gives all children Just as much
academic work as the traditional
school. but by frightening the
school day 1t gives time for practi-
cal shop work, science, drawing,
music, auditorium and play for all
children.
WHAT THE WRIT PLAN MEANS.
To every parent--a chance to give
his child the enriched educational
opportunities usually reserved for
the children of the favored few.
To teachers-no more hours OF
teaching; more congenial work
To the cOmmunity-better citi-
zens; better schools for less cost.
