was only a few pounds difference in weight

TOMORROW's GAME.
0rients and Columbia A. c. Foot Ball
Teams to Meet.

Teams to Meet.
The game of foot ball tomorrow between
the teams of the Orient Athletic Club and
the Columbia Athletic Club will settle the
question of the championship of the District
heyond all question. If the Columbia boys
should win, the second place honor will be
trifie hazy, but every one will be satisfied
to have the championship go where it prop
erly belongs, without any thought of fur
Their classification. When the G. A. c. gave
the THANKSGIVING day game to the Column
bian University it seemed as though the
Orents, Potomacs, Gallaudets and the Can
terhurys were not to be given show. Now,
however, the Oricnts lead all the other
teams mentioned, and are, without doubt
the best qualified to try conclusions with
the present champions. The Orients have
beaten the Potomacs and the Canterburys
and tied the GallaudetS, but as the Canter-
bury team defeateI he latter organization,
It put the muteS out of the race.
Should the OrientS lose, it cannot be stated
definitely, except by reference to the respec-
tive scores between the Orients and c. A. c.
and C. A. C. and Columbian University
whether the OrientS are better set of men
than the Columbian boys or not, but If they
should come out victorious they will have
undisputed possession of the title of cham
pions and the trophy, for this year. at least
The game will take place at National Park,
and will undoubtedly draw a large crowd
The c. A. c. always has a large contingent
of rooters in it's wake. while the Orients
have all the backing of the Potomacs and
the Canterburys and numberless other
teams who did not have the right to COM
pete for the championship. 1t Is expected
that interest will run very high. and the ut
most precautions have been taken to have
the '"eme as free from unnecessary rough

beei. made for large crowd, and the play
ers will have no trouble in being interfered

SPORT IN THIS CITY
Review of the Events of the Past
Year.
OCCASIONS CT GENERAL INTEREST
Tournaments and Matches That
Won Public Attention.
PERIOD MARKED BY SUCCESS

The Departmental Base Ball League passed
through it's second season and from the
opening until the closing game enjoyed
great popularity and success. The sched
ule was divided into two parts, the cham
p,ons of the first half to play the team win
ming the honors of the second half for the
championship of the whole season. The
Bureau Of Engraving team, however, won
both halves and was entitled 10 the cham
p.onship without play off. The attendance
at the games was good and the contests be-
tween the leaders attracted great deal of
attention. Some excellent games were play
ed. and demonstrated that an amateur league
could flourish and win patronage and sue
cess in the city of Washington. Probably
the most notable team in the league outside
of the winners was the Washington Light
Infantry team, and it was surprise TO theil
friends ard admirers that they did not win
out n the eLd. There were n.ne clubs IN the
Nrst half of the season. These we're the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing, District
Commissioners Once. Washington Llghl
infantry, Army and Navy, Treasury De
partment. Government Printing Office. Post
Ofice De partment, City Post Office and Per-
son Office. The latter three Were dropped
however in the second half, making the
league consist Of six clubs. Much better
games were the result ard showed the Wis
dom OF the change. The games were llayeU
at National Base Ball Park during the all
sence of the Washington club.
An amateur base ball league was formed
about the middle of the season, in which the
Young Mems Christian Association ana
Pensiou Office teams were the leading spr-
It's. The other teams composing the league
were the Mystic Shriners, Baltimore y. NJ
.. A, Hagerstown and Post Otitcs Depart
ment. The games We're played at Capito!
Park, and some very good exhibitions OF
ball playing were gwen. The attendance
Vas good, and the league scored fan
amount of success 10 an amateur orgaIliza-
ton.
The Chevy Chase Hunt Club is the only
exponent OF fox hunting In this vicinity.
The club WIS organized in the fall of 1855,
and since then has been growing steadily
until now it can be said to possess the best
equipment of any similar club south of
New York The sport has increased in
popularity, and new members have been
added to the organization, until now il
numbers about two hundred. The club was
recently organized as a country club, but
The club numbers among its membership
some of the best-known riders in this part
OF the country, and possesses an exception
ally fine pack. Each hunt has been more
successful than the one preceding. and an
exceedingly large number of riders are gen.
orally in at the death. Although the coun-
try ridden has been very rough casualties
Rave been few, and interest in the sport is
becoming greater and greater as each meet
takes place.

EYES TO ORDER.
The Process Of Notwithstanding Artificial
Optics.

The Process OF Manufacturing ARTIFICIAL
Optics. TO-
20, what is this thing called
Light?" asks the blind boy of the poet,
and while modern science cannot an
swer him it can produce artificial eyes
which cannot be DISTINGUISHED from
natural ones, SO far as appearance goes,
A glance at the workshop Of an optist
will give but little information as to
the process OF manufacturing an arti7
fetal eye; it is an art IN which steady
hand, skillful fingers and good eye
for color are the principal tools.
The optist after attentively studying
the remaining eye Of the customer las
Stunning that he has another eye),
matches it from his stock as to color,
then as to size, and after exceedingly
careful measurements and study OF the
ocular cavity proceeds to make an eve
which will Be exactly like the natural
one, except that it will not see, He
uses a peculiar hind OF enamel to make
the eyeball, every manufacturer having
his own secret for this. This enamel
Is very smooth and extremely brilliant,
The optist takes piece of the enamel
and heats it, after which he blows 1t,
as glass is blown, into bulb the size
the human eyeball, and then cuts out
from the bulb section varying in size
according to the condition ~ the ocu-
lar cavity. If the patients eyeball is
perfect, what IS called the tbree.quar-
ter ball process is used. a section of
the thin hollow bulb "a Atted ever the
ball and the eve then moves as il it
were natural This is the best method
when the eyeball permits, and an arti-
fetal eye of this kind cannot possibly
be detected, except that of course the
pupil does not contract or dilate. II
the ball is gone then the mot',,,n is
much lr.'re aosvrlcted, but it will still
move in sympathy with the ether eye,
Most people are astonished to learn
that an artificial eye is not globular,
but only a thin piece of curved enamel.
A little reflection will show that it
could not be put into the cavity if it
were globular. and being in, could not
be got out, for false eyes, like false
teeth, should be taken out every night
and replaced in the morning.
The thin section of the bulb having
been shaped into right or left eye, as
the case may be, the iris is painted on.
The majority Of optists make their own
colors, and considerable artistic knowl.
edge is required to paint life-lile iris,
The colors are fred into the enamel by
means of blowpipe and then the crys-
tai cornea which covers the iris has to
be affixed. Jewellers Weekly.
