Intention of wresting from the Scranton
Bicycle club the trophy won by the
local pluyeis at labt Saturday's tourn

the Newark team, Is well known in
Scranton.
Tho trophy, a handsome sterling sil
ver loving cup will be on exhibition at
Connolly and Wallace's Btore today
aniVtomorrow. 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 a week passes
that the cup Is not being contested for.
The Albany team has won it sixteen
times.
The following Is what a Baltimore
paper says of the match:
Tho Scranton Blcyclo club's whist team
gave tho Baltimore Whlst club's four a
terrlblo drubbing Saturday night at the
Royal Arcanum building. The match
was for tho American Whist leaguo
trophy, and It goes to Pennsylvania.
Tho Scranton team was an unknown
quantity. It had never attended a whlst

F. A. lllrtermelster. It played a grand
gamo of whlst, belmr as steady as clock
work. Tho four have played together
for live years, and Its team work Is about
perfection.
Scranton's next opponent will be the
New Jersey Whlst club's four, who will
play In Scranton Saturday next. If the
Scranton team can keep up the game It
played hero the trophy will rest In Scran
ton for some time.
Tho Baltimore team was not at Its best,
and played nt times erratic and ragged

brilliancy, but tho four, though strong
Individually, wero weak ns a team, show
ing a decided lack of ensemble practice.
Scranton cot a lead of four tricks In
tho first 21 deals, and in the next eight
boards Increased tho lead to nine tricks.
The homo team then tried some despcr.
ate chances, but failed, the Scranton
men finishing the match with a lead of

TIN PLATE FACTORY.
It Is Expected That Work on It Will
Begin April 1 and Operations
Will Start November 1.
When Mr. Torbet, the ptomoter of
the tin plate company now In course
of formation, said at the last meeting
of tho Board of Trade that "they wero
now on the top of the hill" and that
the rest was easy running down, ho
meant It.
Himself and the Board of Trade
members interested in the project are
now engaged In "drawing In the lines,"
ns they express It, and it Is thought
extremely probable that by tho 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
ciding upon the location of the plant.
This will be located some place on
tho Diamond Flats, and It Is very
likely that about eight acres situated
between Grove street, Foster street
and Factory avenue wjll be selected.
This plot Is In close conjunction with
tho new bolt and nut works and tho
Klotz silk mill. Connections from this
point can bo made with tho Delaware
and Hudson, Ontario and Western nnd
Lackawanna railroads.
It 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
vember 1. The necessaiy machinery
can be secured on four months' no
tice. THOUGHT HE HAD A FIT.
Odd Character Arrested Last Evening
"by Patrolmen Thomas and Peters.
A man giving his name as John
Forbes was taken to tho Centre street
police station at G.I1 o'clock last even
ing by Patrolmen Petc-rs nnd J. I.
Thomas. He was found lying on his
back In Railroad alley, kicking his feet
about frantically and acting In a very
odd manner.
He called out loudly that he was
suffeilng fioni a fit, but It was soon
found that trie only thing effecting
him was the severe cold. After being
taken to the station house he left $2
deposit to appear at police court this
morning and answer to the charge of
disorderly conduct.

thought the necessity of having a plan
and then working out that plan In ac
