The nix-day match bicycle race between
Miss Lottio Stanley , of New York , and Miss
Lily Wllllums , of this city , begins to-morrow
evening , at the Coliseum , at half past ?
o'clock. The race is for $1,000 a side ; three
hours each evening , and continuing through-
' .out the week. Billy O'Brien , the well-known
New York sporting man , is backing Stanley ,
uml E. S. Flage , of this city , Williams , nnd
thcro Is but littles doubt but that the event
will prove ono of the most interesting that
bus .vet taken place in the building. Miss
Stanley has long been looked upon as the
champion lady bicyclist of the country , nnd
as this Is her llrst nppcaranco here , she will
probably prove n great drawing t-ard. All
the patrons of the Coliseum know full well
what Eortof arldcrMiss Williams Is , and that
Is , ono of the cleverest and speediest In the
buslucbs. The prevailing opinion Is that she
will fltid an easy victim in the Now Yorker ,
but like base ball , bicycle races are extremely
unccituin. The sporting editor of TUB Bun
has been selected as referee.
