is splendidly constructed building and
only recently deprived Buffalo of the
proud distinction of possessing the

size viz, the original Chicago Coliseum,
which stood at Sixty-third street, and
will be remembered by veterans as the
scene Of the last of the great bicycle
shows The new armory, however. pos

Of large and we'll equipped company
rooms The size of the main hall is
800 by 600 feet, without a post. There
is also a lower floor nearly half as large.
The remainder of the lower floor is occn-
pied by a swimming pool, gymnasium
and other conveniences for the men and
by spacious mess hall, which will be
used during the show as restaurant
