NATIONAL SHOW

New Tork's Fifth Annual Bicycle
show opens tonight in Madison Square
Garden, with the usual glare Of cleo
trle lights, whirl OF wheels;and crowds
of spectators, decorated with pins. but
tons, buttonnleres and ribboned BAN
derilloes, and loaded down with whole
libraries OF catalogues. booklets and
posters.
The show itself this year r. extraor-
binary from the character. OF its ex-
hlblts. Some OF the features are very
novel. In places the Garden has the
appearance Of an industrial exhibit.
Several mechanical displays are shown,
designed to educate the public in the
detail Of bicycle construction. Such n
one is the gear-cuttlng machine shown
in operation by the Pope Manufacture
ing Company. The stand Of this COM
pany Is Immediately opposite the door
by which one.enters. The-main part Of
the exhibit IS an immense gear-cuttlng
machine, engaged in cutting out the
bevel gears used in the construction Of
the chalnless bicycle, The machine.
with a number Of workmen in charge,
goes through the complete process.
Col. a. A. Pope believes that this is the
best means Of demonstrating the per-
fectIon to which the manufacture Of
beveI gears has been brought. There
are many other exhibits Of nature
similar to this, but not quite so extern
stve. a number of bicycles are shown
in the process of construction. and
parts are there In every stage OF de-
velopment, from the rough casting to
the finished parts.
