 The third of the 7,696 wires which will constitute each of the cables on the new Brooklyn bridge was strung stretched across on Nov 19 and the second on Wednesday. As two wires are carried across at one tima the machinery bringing one from Will hamsburg to Manhattan st the same tue loop is carried from Manhattan to Williamsburg, six wires are now in place. Three of these are on cable No. 1 and three on cable No. :.
 The method by which these pieces of wire which will support inc new bridge are suspended. though aI first sight complicated; Is really very simple. A continuous cable three -fourths of an
 
 from one end of the structure to the other. It revolves on huge steel sheayes at either end On this cable are two stationary wheels so placed that when one is at this terminus the other is in Williamsburg
 When wire is ready to be stretched. few feet of it are uncoiled from spool which weighs between eight and nine tons and t1e end made fast to an eyebar at this end. The loose piece is then thrown over the stationary wheel and the cable set in motion by forty horsepower engine. As the stationary wheel goes over the bridge it carries the double wire with it. At the same time another stationary wheel is bring Ing over q loop from Williamsburg
 When the stationary wheel reaches Its destination. the loop of wire is talk en- of and slipped over a horseshoe. Each horseshoe will accommodate POS wires, or q strand When the strand is complete, the loop is taken from the horseshoe and placed on a permanent block of the steel eyebars which hold the cables in place.
 The wire used in the cables is three sixteenth of an inch in diameter. and it takes thirty-seTen strands to make cable
 Each span of wire is 2,975 feet in length. so that in the four cables there will be 24,O00 miles. Every spool con- tains enough wire to stretch five times over the bridge. When one spool is ex- hausted, the end of the wire is joined to the end of the coil on another spool by means of grooved socket The wire composing the strands is there fore continuous. but the strands com- posing the cables will be separate

Every sear has been disposed of and there were fs- quests for 13,000 tickets, which had to be. refused
 To-day's contest is the third in when the army and navy have met on Frap1- lin field, but it is the first which the president of the United States will at tend. The great crush for tickets WAS due in a measure to President Roose- velt's announcement that he would be present at the game.

Com mander Wainwright of Annapolis General Joseph Wheeler. -Adjutant- General Corbin and other prominenr naval and army officials viii occupy boxes and cheer for the army and navy. X box has been set aside for former President Cleveland and ex- Secretary of War Lamont, but it is not expected that the former will attend.
 The game will be Yale methods against Princeton coaching. West Point has been drilled by some of the best players that ever appeared on T Yale eleven, while the navy boys have had the Princeton style of play drilled ito them by such well known orange and Black players as Edward $. Hide brand and Kelley.
 By outside critics West Point is looked upon as an almost sure win. ner, chiefly because of the excellent showing the team made against Har- yard, Yale and PrincefUn The bet- ting on the result of the game is light. because of the preponderance of West Point money.
 Franklin field is i'll perfect condition for the contest. A liberal coating of straw kept yesterdays snow from reaching the turf and also kept the ground from freezing.
 Annapolis practiced signals at Franklin field this morning and iha West Point eleven ran through their plays on the grounds of the Philadel. phia Country club at Bala. The wealth CT is almost perfect for football. The two teams will line up as fols lows:
