TURING WITHOUT BRAZING.
CORRESPONDENT WRITES TO THE TRIBUNE
ABOUT TUBING WHICH is NOT BRAZED-

A
ABOUT TUBING WHICH is NOT BRAzED-
VIRTUES CLAIMED FOR THE DEVICE.
r. Edgar Wrightson. OF Stirchey, birmingham
England formerly a member Of the Board OF Gov
ernors OF the Vim Bicycle CLUB OF Newark writes
TO The Tribune as follows regarding the brazeiess
Joint for bicycle tubing, which Is coming INTO use III
that country:
Many complaints have been made to bicycle man
ufacturers on the score of inferior work OF their
brazlers In putting the tubing together TO onset
this difficulty an English mechanic has taken out
natents for a brazeless frame His method of join
ing the various pieces OF tubing which 90 to make
ND bicycle frame may bee easily understood by re-
ferrlng 10 the accompanying cut. The main points
are as follows In the tubing two grooves or CORFU
cations are made about an inch apart near the
ends Steel disks one and one-eghth inches in di-
ameter stamped from onc-eighth nch sheet
steel. These disks have serrated edges. They are
cut in and round hole in another They are
then placed inside the inner tubing. which Is 10 be
joined TO the outer \ nolt WIN SQUARE hea all Is
with the concave sides toward each other. The
turning Up OF the bolt expands fiattens the disks
10 their original diameter. crOwding the inner piece
Of tubing into the grooves IT, the outer piece. and
thus a firm Joint IL formed.
The pricple Is essentially a new one, II nav
Ing been applied I'm the Joining of steam pipes where
high pressure as TWO hundred pounds 10 the
square inch is required. The expansion and contrac-
ton Of the boiler tubing In heating and cooling do
seem 10 affect the joints in the least. AS ap-
Piled a bicycle. Il adds little to the weight OF the
machine and much TO tho strength.

sary. and any number of new parts may be put In

THE ANNUAL DOG SHOW.
TO OPEN IN MADISON SQUARE GARDEN
TOMORROW

TOMORROW
Only few dogs had arrived up 10 last evening
at the Madison Square Garden for exhibition I'm
the annual Dog Show which opens Tomorrow
morning. 1t is expected. however that the rest OF
the entries Will arrive to-day and elaborate prepa-
ratons have been made at the Garden for their re-
ception The list OF entries this year is far larger
than that OF any previous exhibition under the
auspices OF the Westminster Kennel Club which
has organized the show and moi only Will the num-
her OF exhibits be larger than any former oc-a-
sion. but IL is confidently asserted tina, the quality
Of the animals shown will be equal to- II II does
not surpass that Of previous affairs. From a fam
Ter in San Francisco will come a number Of coes
which. II is said. will rival j. Picrpont Morgan's
famous dogs Of this breed. Many champion bull
dogs will oe shown, and the splendid Great Dams
variety when has until lately been neglected in this
country. but which is now receiving more atten-
ton. Will he well represented. BloodhOunds fox
terriers settlers and Boston terriers also classes
in which II is expected that many wel-known
prize-wlnner will he found. while among the Rus
sian wolf hounds Will bee Marksman who although
only two years old. has first prizes I'm every
show In which ne has been exhibited.
Owing TO the dispute between the French Bulldog
Club and the Westminster Kennel Club there may
possibly not be so many specimens OF this breed
shown at some former shows. but the entries I'm
the other classes fully make up for this deficiency

have watched the Bridge question Of the
opinion that a special wheelway cannot he Sc
cured this year and they say that as the out
door riding season is about TO oren something
should be done at once TO enable cyclists 10 ride
over the Bridge The plan suggested in these
columns TO so arrange traffic on the Bridge that
all could use Il has met with considerable favor.
and the scheme Will be discussed at the coming
meeting Of the committee. Some OF the members
OF the Associated Cycling Clubs Of NewYork
and 81 Brooklyn are not In favor OF any com
promise on the question, and say that the Com
missioner Of Bridges must provide way for the
cyclists. They say that the first wheelman killed
will cause talk. and that then 1t will be
described as accident Then another fatality
Will occur and the officials will awake TO the
fact that something viii have TO be done. How
ever the associations are not In favor OF waiting
for the killing Of those two cyclists. but feel like
demanding their rights at once The plan sug
gested by The Tribune is that heavy trucks
be restricted to one roadway both going and
coming. and that the other roadway be given
over to light vehicles and bicycles. They say
that at most hours traffic is in one direction
anyway. and that the plan can at least be t"ied

A GREAT AND GRAND CITY.
The Capital of This Nation as Viewed
by Professor French Strother-
Now in Virginia.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
WASHINGTON, D.. O., July 15.-I am
now on my way to Old Point Comfort
on the Newport News, a fine steam
boat, sailing nicely down the Potomac.
The sun is setting; my little grand
daughter, Sudie, just now came to me
and asked me to come and see the sun
rs it was setting. We reached Wash
ington this morning a week ago. I
expected to see the most beautiful
city on earth when I reached Wash
ington and my expectations were fully
and more than fully realized, though
I have been here before. Some of the
buildings are grand and beautiful
beyond any power I have of descrip-
ton. Especially is this SO of the Con-
gressional Library. When viewing at
night, illuminated with countless cleo
trio lights, it seems that you are in fairy
land, and surely Genii equal to those
summoned by Aladden, as told in the
Arabian Nights, must have con-
otI uCtCu tuCbO DuiIuluSc III LAnuhSA
beyond human ingenuity.
The hotels are magnificent and in
keeping with the new Post Office
building. Our new Post Office at
home is grand for Mexico, but you
could put it inside of many of the
Washington City buildings without it
being much in the way.
Everything we have seen at Wash
ington is grand-hsr churches, her
monuments, her libraries, her public
buildings, her beautiful streets, her
many parks, her national burying
ground, her soldiers home-yes, all
are grand and remind the tourist of
the language of holy writ, where We
find language such as the following:
"Eye hath not seen, a hath not
heard nor hath it entered the magma
ton to conceive" etc. I am at the
great seat of learning this morning,
University of Virginia, and my party
says it is time to go.
