GRIDlRON IN READINESS
University of Virginia and Column
bia University Eager rthe Fray.
Similarity of COlor~ VIII Cause
Much Confusion.

Unless all predictions fail, the struggle
on the gridiron at Capitol Park this after
noon between the elevens of the University
OF Virginia and the Columbian University
should prove to be one of the most exciting
and closely contested games that 1t has
been the lot of Washington lovers OF the
sport TO witness.
The virginians arrived in town this MORN
ing, looking in the pink OF condition, and con-
fident OF scoring a victory over the local
men. The University OF Virginia men have
gained confidence in their proves by their
many victories over some OF the strongest
aggregations of football players in the
country.
The grounds this afternoon will present a
gay scene bat some funny mista kes are apt to
occur owing to the fact that the colors Of
the two colleges are exactly alike-orange
and blue. Thatthere will beplent v offunand
noise TO interest the spectators besides
the game proper. is assured by the many
crowds OF gaily bedecked college youths
who have been parading the streets all the
morning makingnOsee enough for smaIarmy
with their tin horns.
These teams are SO well-known to local
lovers OF the sport that the crowd should
be fully as large as was present at the
Thanksgiving Day game between the CO.
letic Club. At that time the c. A. C. was
thought to be SO much stronger than the
varsity team that the garne-was expected
to be a very One-sided one. The 'varSit y
lads furnished a surprise, however, as they
came within an ace Of taking the c. A. IS
into camp.
Since then they have been practicing at
their grounds at Capitol Park almost daily,
and with the new material that has lately
been added to the team. should give the
Virginia boys a hard battle.
The fact that Phil King. the famous
Princeton quarterback. will be referee. and
that Frank Butterworth. the noted Yale
fullback, Will umpire. will, in itself, draw
many football cranks to the park. Ormsby
McCammon will officiate as linesInan for
the Colunbians.
The Virginians have been in regular
training Since Thanksgiving Day, when
they met the team from the University
of North Carolina at Richmond. The lineup
will be exactly the same $ it wa when they
met the North Carolina team. and this i'll
itself is sufficient guarantee that there viii
be no weak spots in the makeup OF the
eleven.
The addition of Alton, Clapp. Busey and
A Wis to the local team will greatly strength
en- it. and there is no doubt but what they
will put up much stronger game than they
did when they met the c. A. C.'s on Thanks
giving Day. Capt. Cockrill has lost no
opportunity TO strengthen the team and
when the boys did not have an opportunity
To go 10 the park To practice the signals
We're pra cticed by the hour at the college
The lineup OF the teams will be about as

suit of a Conspiracy.
 London, Sept. 2.-Mr Justin Mccarthy has issued an appeal to the electors of the south division of County Kerry ex- horting them to support Mr.. Farrell, the candidate for the seat who was cho- sen by the regular convention. Mir Me Carthy denounces the candidature of Murphy as treason against party disci- pline, and declares that his nomination was due to a conspiracy, concerning which he (McCarthy) has hitherto been silent. For three years, he says, there has been an incessant campaign against the unity of the Irish party which reached its climax in the baseless false hoods uttered by MT. T. M. Healy al Omagh, when he asserted that the Irish parliamentary committee had sold seats for English gold. Such a state of things MT. Mccarthy declares. means the bankruptcy and destruction of the Irish cause.
