MAKING A BIKE FRAME
Simple Method in the Construction
of Bicycles.
Littl. Labor Connect ed Wit II the Man
ufacture-HOw the Enamel Is
Applied-CyclingN Notes.

A well-known local repairer OF blcycies'
Who has considerable experience in the
manufacture of wheels, said. among olher
things TO The Times yesterday concerning
the construct ion OF the frame work of a
bike:
When the frame of a bicycle is ready
to be put together il is laid in ing or
template" which is in the nature oi a
gauge that shows whether the frame is
absolutely right in shape and size. and If
the angles are correct. The frame rests
in this iig horizontally. and while in that
position holes are drilled and steel pins
are driven through the tubing ard cOnnec-
ton. Then the frame is ready TO be braZed.
This is done over a gas furnace, in which
the flame is directed against the parts TO
be braZed In the manner that blowppe
is used. The gas flame quickly heats the
steel. and the braZer lays on The 'spelter
or braZing compound. when the metal mas
reached a white heat.
The spelter melts and runs In between
the tubing and the connection and makes
the Two as solid as though they were welded
together. Men with files take the braZed
frame, and. after brushing off the boraN
and removing the blistcrs and bubbles,
smooth the entire frame With file and
emery paper and then polish it.
The parts OF the frame that are to be
nickclplated usually are first appropriated
and the enamel is put on i'll several coats
The first coats are of iDdia-rubber enamel,
and then the polishing coats are laid On.
The frame is dipped in the enamel and
the surplus is allowed TO drip off before
the enamel is baked. Each coat is rubbed
with rotten stone and polished as though
It We're the last finishing coat. This thor
ough work gives the enamel of bicycle
frame 4 high polish, equal to The finest
coach or piano polish.

he would make no match of any sort

out after his seven months OF training, aud
he evidently means what he says.
Fitz has also said, over and over again.

he will sign the English articles OF agree

MONTREALS VS.. SHAMROCKS.
Canadian Hockey Teams to Meet al
the Rink Today.


The hockey matches at the Washington
Ice Palace ought to be the means of adding
another game to the list of American ath-
letics that should equal football and baseball
in public interest.
In Canada, where hockey was originally
played. 1T is the national winter sport. and
the matches OF the Canadian Hockey AssO-
citation are witnessed by crowds that test
the capacity of the rnks where these games
take place.
The Montreal and Shamrock hockeyteam
teams, who will have the honor of pla ying
the first hockey match ever played in the
United States between two teams of the
Canadian Hockey Association this after
noon and evening at the Ice Palace, are
splendidy fitted in every respect to give
a first-class exhibition of the beauties
of hockey. The Montreal club have been
champions Of the world for seven years,
and include among their players Barlow,
Collins, James, Murphy, and McKarrow,
men who are as well known in Canadian
athletics as Anson, McGraw, and Duffy in
baseball.
The Shamrocks, headed by their capt ain,
Bob Wall. who is one of the best all-round
athletes in Canada, playing lacrosse on
the Shamrock team, and also being cap
tain of the Canadian champion water polo
team. Tom Dwyer is also Il noted and an
all-round athlete. He has no superior as
a lacrosse player, besides playing first
class game of hockey.
Frank Stephens, the famous defense
player, who is known as the best litter in
Canada. Both clubs are sending down their
strongest teams, and the matches will be for
blood, as both teams are anxious to
bring back the magnificent trophies which
go to the winners. A large party of friends
are accompanying the two clubs, and the
Montreal Star and Gazette are sending spe-
Cial correspondents to report the matches.
1t is the opinion of O gentleman who re-
Gently visited the rinks In New York Balti-
more and this city, that in the near future
teams representing the above cities will be
able to hold their own and contest for the
worlds hockey supremacy with the Ca
madam clubs. The Montreal and Shamrock
Hockey Clubs represent the famous Amateur
Athletic Association of the same names. The
rivalry between the associations is of the
keenest, and may be likcned TO that which
existed some years ago between the New
York Athletic Club and she Manhattan Ath-
letic Club Of New York.

NOVEL PIGEON SHOOTING
Inauguration of the "Ralli" in
This Country.
Ten Men XIII I3I Birds Out OF 200 at

Good Result.

Riverton, N. J.. March flames Meal
pin of the Car,crct Gun Club OF New
York Yesterday won the ''Rall, the River
ton Gun Clubs novel pigeon shooting
match, on the grounds of the latter club,
at this place, killing twenty birds. Thomas
s. DandO was second, with seventeen
killed, and John B Ellison third, with III
teen TO his credit.
The shoot marked the inauguration OF the
'.Ralli'' In this country. The entrance zee
was $50, and 200 birds were liberated,
twenty birds to each shooter. The shoot
ing ground was laid out into courts, which
were marked by flags, each shooter being
stationed in Il court, and rotating after
every twenty birds had been released, so
that all shooters were on an equal foot
ing, so far as any advantage in territory
was con cerned.
After every twenty birds had been lib-
Grated the shooters were allowed five min
utes in which TO get into position in the
adjoining territory. The birds were set
free about every half minute. To score a
kill ii was necessary for each man to
grass his birds in the territory allotted
him. When a bird dropped dead in q
neiehbor's territory II was counted i kill
for the neighbor.
Each shooter had boy to gather his
birds, no man being allowed to gather
his own birds under Tcnalty of So.
The birds were released from the center
of the circle by being pitched into the air,
no traps being used.
Out OF the 100 birds liberated 131 were
killed, Il remarkably good average, con-
s:dering the amount OF territory between
each of the shooters. The ground had
originally laid out for fifteen entries,
but only ten men entered the '.Ralli."
The members or the Riveuon Gun Club.
as well as the Out-of-town gunDcrs, were
well pleased with the success OF the
"Ralli." summary follows:
