TIN PLATE FACTORY.
It Is Expected That Work on It will
Begin April 1 and Operations
will Start November 1.

When Mr.. Torbet, the promoter of
the tin plate company now in course
of formation, said at the last meeting
Of the Board of Trade that "they were
now on the top of the hill'' and that
the rest was easy running down, he
meant IL.
Himself and the Board of Trade
members interested in the project are
now engaged in drawing in the lines"
as they express 1t. and 1t is thought
extremely probable that by the end
of next month the required capital
stock will have been subscribed and a
meeting of the stockholders held for
the purpose of electing officers and de-
Gliding upon the location Of the plant.
This will be located some place on
the Diamond Flats. and it Is very
likely that about eight acres situated
between Grove street, Foster street
and Factory avenue will be selected.
This plot Is in close conjunction with
the new bolt and nut works and the
Klotz silk mill. Connections from this
point can be made with the Delaware
and Hudson, Ontario and Western and
Lackawanna railroads.
1t is expected that ground can be
broken by April 1, and allowing the
estimated eight months for the con-
struction Of the plant, this would al
low the works to be opened on No
vemher 1. The necessary machinery
can be secured on four months mo-
tice.

smoker, which was adjudged by
all present to be the most successful
ever conducted by the Scranton Bicycle
club, was conducted in the club rooms
last evening. The affair was a real
out and out clever amateur minstrel
show and was arranged as a surprise
by committee of the West Scranton
members of the club.
And surprise 1t was. for not one
present had any idea of the nature Of
the entertainment until the curtains
inclosing the stage were drawn back,
revealing an excellently set first part.
the decorat tiors being the national and
club colors.
In the center was seated rotund eAul
jolly r. w. Luce. who made a most
entertaining nterlocutor, and the
comedy ends were upheld by the fol-
lowing gentlemen: c. G. Koons, +. w.
Thayer. w. G.. Williams, Harry p.
Decker, George Wettling and l.. c.
Wettling. II. Il. Thayer and George
Winans were the vocalists and Clar.
encc Shryer acted as stage manager.
The gags were especially happy and
were largely take-offs on various per-
sons in the audience and were hugely
enjoyed. The solos were excellently
rendered without exception. After the
first part had been concluded an ex-
cellent vaudeville performance was
given, the entertainers being James
Gardner Sanderson, in n monologue:
the Colonial quartette. and the Novelty
Musical trio,
At the conclusion of the entertain
ment those present repaired to the
upper floor. where excellent refresh
ments were served by Caterer Han

NEWARK WHISPERS WANT 1T.
Will Seek to Wrest Loving Cup from
Bicycle Club.

The New Jersey Whist club, of New
ark, will come here Saturday with the
intention of wrestling from the Scranton
Bicycle club the trophy won by the
local players at last Saturdays tourn-
ament in Baltimore. Captain Otis, of
the Newark team, is well known in
Scranton.
The trophy, a handsome sterling sill
yer loving cup will be on exhibition at
Connolly and Wallaces store today
and tomorrow. The first club winning
the cup twenty times Is entitled to
retain it permanently. The holder is
compelled to play any challenging team
that covets it, but not oftener than
once a week. Scarcely week passes
that the cup is not being contested for.
The Albany team has won 1t sixteen
times.
The following is what a Baltimore
paper says Of the match:
The Scranton Bicycle clubs whist team
gave the Baltimore Whist clubs four a
terrible drubbing Saturday night at the
Royal Arcanum building. The match
was for the American Whist league
trophy, and 1t goes to Pennsylvania.
The Scranton team was an unknown
quantity. 1t had never attended Il whist
congress prior to the last one held in Chi
cago in 1899. Saturday nights games
were its first effort to get possession Of
the American Whist league trophy. The
team is composed of J. w. Dusenbury,
captain; l.. G.. La3ar, II. c. Wallace and
+. A. Hirtermeister. 1t played grand
game of whist being as steady as clock
work. The four have played together
for five years. and its team work is about
perfection.
Scranton's next opponent will be the
New Jersey Whist clubs four, who will
play in Scranton Saturday next If the
Scranton team can keep up the game 1t
played here the trophy will rest in Scran-
ton for some time.
The Baltimore team was not at its best.
and played at times erratic and ragged
whist. At times there were dashes Of
brilliancy. but the four, though strong
individually, were weak as a team, show.
ing q decided lack of ensemble practice.
Scranton got lead of four tricks In
the first "a deals. and in the next eight
boards increased the lead to nine tricks.
The home team then tried some desper-
ate chances but failed, the Scranton
men finishing the match with a lead Of
II tricks. 1t took eight hours play to
conclude the As boards. Thomas Borden
| was referee. The Baltimore team was
w. A. Thomas, Beverly w. Smith, A. II.
McCay and w. r. Flske.
