the future held in store for it, His lines

GOSSIP OF THE eRIDIRoN.

The work of the Young Mems Christian
Association football team during yesterday
afternoons practice showed great i'm
prOvement in the work of the backs. Be
hind the line they have several of the best
players in the District, and Coach Eaton
is directing most of his attention TO Sc
Iecting a strong centre. For this position
the most promising candidate IS Stewart an
old University of Texas player. For guards
Don McConville. an old Columbia Athletic
Club man, and Edward Bynum, of last
years Columbian University team, will
probably be the successful candidates. The
speed displayed by the team yesterday has
aroused the enthusiasm of its supporters,
who now have great confidence of a vic
tory over the Maryland Athletic Club on
Saturday
Coach Church has commenced to weed
out his team at Georgetown. Those who
are not up to the varsity standard are
to be thrown in with the scrubs. At this
time Church has sifted his team down to
fifteen candidates. All of these men will
probably be kept on the varsity eleven.
Georgetown will play ST. Johns College, OF
Annapolis, at Georgetown Saturday after
noon. The game, it is believed, viii be
close and well contested as both teams are
quick, heavy, and strong The advantage
of weight is probably with the varsity
boys, but this is counterbalauced by the
speedy trick playing OF the Annapolis team.
There has been no positive news received
in Washington relating to the future of the
Virginia Military Institute football team.

in another direction and save himself
something that he could not be sure OF
doing If he waited to take care Of the
meddler. But the beseeching eyes of the
Mexican were too much for him, and he
slipped his left foot spur under the wide
cinch that held the rear of the saddle.
Then he prepared for leaning to the right
and called, Get ready to jump, there!'
Louie heard and a smile lghtened up his
coarse face
He could not understand why his enc
my should take chances on his own life
to save one who had done him injury, but
he was willing to be the saved one in the
present condition of affairs.
Farther and farther Lorne leaned over
to the right until he could almost sweep
the long grasses with his hand. He had
practiced picking up a handkerchief while
his hores was on the run, and the expert
ment came in good play at this time.

a swoop he went past. The herd was but
a dozen yards away and coming with
heads down and tails in the ara terri

to both the young men If they could not

So the watch was kept close, and day af-

sure, strange cry came from the side
of the trail one night ana caused the cat
tie to rouse quickly, but it did not amount
10 anything serious Then there was a
bundle of red cloth in the middle of the
trail one afternoon around which the stock
rushed and took a course a half mile out
of their way.
But on the whole the trip was going wen
and they were up in the middle of the ter
rltory with hopes of seeing the South
branch of the Cimarron most any day a
halt had been called early for night and
on the level plain the cattle were scattered

A New variety of BIRDS.

Recent Information received by the ge-
illogical department of Princeton Univer-
slty from ]. b. Hatcher, who is at the
head of an expedition for geological re-
search in Patagonia. shows that his work
has been successful in many ways. Mr..
Hatcher has sent word from Patagonia
that he has ready to send to the United
States a collection Of birds 400 in num-
Der, many of them being new varieties. In
addition to the pathological discoveries
many specimens of fossil mammals have
been secured, some of which are perfect
and valuable in settling old scientific con-
troversies Mr.. Hatcher's present expe-
dition Is his third 10 Patagonia, and his
discoveries have been of great value to
American scientists. The collections OF
birds are being mounted by Prof. Scott Cd
Princeton, as they arrive from Patagonia,
while the work of classifying and record
ing both the fossils and the birds is In the
hands OF Mr.. Pilsbury of the Philadelphia
Academy Of Natural Sciences.
