At ono time tho complicntions of Daly's bus- insa in Now Yorlk eo far sot asldo tho probability of tho matoh's coming off that nogotiations wero oponed up for a match at similar odds boiween tho young Ohleago export nnd Oyrille Dlon, and tho not mateh was half made whon intelligenco camo that tho Daly-Slosson matoh could bo ar- rangod, Daly's frionds In Olncago baving advised him to play ot all hazards, Tho game through- ont was vory woll played, and the audionce wero fntensely oxcited, their superabundant spirits froquently offorvoscivg in {ho form of commonts on tho gamo, which, it ia to bo boped, wil mot bo indulged in tho tournnmont games. At tho start Daly lod, ond, inoluding s opponent's odds, was ahend of him at the forty-socond innings, when the acoro stood; Daly, 82¢; Blosson (without the odds), 223, Trom thia point of tho gamo until the fiftioth innings Daly increased his lead, un- il ot that Juncturo the gamo atood: Daly, 403 ; Blosson, 259 (wilkout the odds), Tho Chieago boy, who ia nothing 1f not norvy, now sottlod to work, and played & very strong gameo, gotting shead of his opponent and rotaining his lead to tho finlsh, making 600 polnts to Daly's 598, The eudience, with tho oxception of a crook- backed farmor in tho gallery, and & fow hisscs, behaved splondidly, rowarding tho strokes of cach’ player with becoming impartinlity. Tho excitement at the very clogo of the game was in~ tonso, Both playors wera in excellent condition and splendid nerve, those who lind risked their little piles on tho game being much moro excited than {ho playors thomsolves, “I'io playors approached tho tablo about half- past 8 o'clock, and baukoed for the lead. It was won by Daly, and ho eclocted tho white. Ho failed to count on tho first shot, aund Slosson mado 4 on casy oaroms, Dely’ made 1, and misyad an ensy shot, which wouid hnve loft the bails woll for him, by a hair, Slosson miesed, dnd Daly got tho bulls well togother at o firsf shot, but, through nervousncss or something olso, missod & plain shot after making 8 caroms. Slosson followed wlith 8, aud Daly with § again, the playlng on both sldes being _very weak, Tho fourth inning yielded 8 for Blosson, bub ho loft the balls in euch o posifion tbet his opponent duplicated tho run, and then {roze, and missed the spot shot. Slosson made 1in Lis fifth inning, and Joft the bolls in n very unfavorable position. Nevertholeus, Daly counied, and got them into shape ofter a fow more shots, ‘The run amounted {o 82, tho majority of which were r0ado by the uso of the draw 88 o position shot. Blesson missed in bis sixth Inning, and both misscd in tho soventh, In the cighth inning Daly again_showed somo good play, making 23 vory cloverly. Ha slippod up on an casy shot, hovorer, ond loft the bulla well for his oppo- naut, who mado 19 off the leave by caroful play and good nursing. An unfortunato miscuo endod the run, and tbe balls wero left well for Daly. Ho failed to make more than 1,'s com- mon_ follow-shot proving an obstacle,’ In tho noxt ' two innings Daly mado 9 and 1, Slosson mosnwhilo moking 2 twico and 4. DBoth missed in the twelfth inuing, and in the thirteonth Daly misse and Blosson mado 1, the gamo then standing 86 to 44 in favor of tho New Yorker. In the four- teenth inning Daly made 9 and Slosson G. the Inttor miesing o mase aftor making o much hardor one. Neithor plavor up to this time had boon playing auythivg like his avorago game, [n his fifteenth loniug Daly madoe 14, and turned bis firet hundred by Dpoluts, his uppauent being 51. With the exception of a run mado b{ Daly in his soveuteenth inning, tho gamo up to the twenty-fourth inning wos & very slow one, though brilliant_plays woro _ogcasionally mado by both parties, Daly leading in this respact. In thot inning Blosson porformed Bomo very “tglick " work in tho way of nursing and general sition play, sccumulating 30. In the follow- ing inning the Chicago ropresentative rolied up 13 in & very confidont manner, and turned hin firab #tring, the gamo standing 106 to 142, " Tho twenty-olghth in- ning was eignalized by o *gcratch” onthe part of Daly, tho first in the gamo ; and ho nlso mado it noticesblo by carolossly lnooking his ball away with his cuo when tho object bolls svera closo to it and together. Slossou steadily ained on his opponent up to the thirtieth ming, when the latter knocked out 82 in gaod atylo, miseing a cushion shot which he tried with the bridge, The balls wore loft in such favorablo sbapo that Slosson made 25, to which Lio was Lolped by s voll-known_faculy of nursing, and some clover musscs, Inthe suc- cecding’ inniog ho made 14, missing aftor gotting the “threo balls (ogethor iu tho corner, Tho ehot loft was o bard one, Loweyer, and Daly was cmngnllud to play for wafoly, Blosson followed with o count, which was grested with spplauso, ond ended with o run of 5. Daly put up a similar number, and then mlaasxlv o very ecusy shob, leaving an ‘oxcellent lny-out for n big run, Georso took only G out of them, getting them sepecuted in o Aew shots, In tho thirly-fonrth inning, Slosson mmiesed a round-tho-tablo sliot, and lefs tho balls /in amch shapo that Daly apeedily collected them on the left-hand rail, and exhibited eomo of the mprottiest nursing of the game. At 43 ho frozo, ‘but counted off the spot-shot. In endeaving to malto tho next _count, howover, ha jumped “his ball off tho tablo. ‘Clie run of 41 was tho lnrgest of tho gamo eo far, and plnced him at 240 to hia opponent's 180. Slosson followed with 4, and Daly knosked out 20 in tho noxt inning, 1n tho thirty-ninth loning, o run of 12, whioh dovol- opod soveral romarlably good cushion-shots, took Slogson into_his third hundred, the ecoro standing 274 for Daly to 205, In tho Torty-frst inning, Daly made 17 very ncatly, but strangoly missed on a draw shot thnta tyro could have mado, Tho leavo was & good ono for Slosson, ‘but he only made 7 frow it, and returned the complimonk by sotting them up protty wall for Maurice. Tlo Iatter proceeded to make 82, which placed bim at 824, and with more thun his 0dds to Bparo. Blosson, at this time, was not laying at all well, whilo Daly, onthe other Ennd, wna constuntly increasing his * speed,” aud playing with gronter confidenoe thin ho bad Kil.hurgn shown. He mado runs of 14 and 22, mnudo in tho forty-third and forty-fourth Inningy, and § and 26in tho two succoeding ones, Kfogsion mennwiiilo not making more than 4 third of tho number. In his forty-cighth In- ning Daly madoe 1, nud put his acoro ab 400 to 252, 1fo mede anothor count in the inning, but it was decided to ho & push by tho referco. In tho fifty-frst innfuyg Slosson begun to do some ploying, making 18, and fol- lowlng it up “thres innings afterward wilh & well-ozccuted ruu of 30, il placed his gcoro ot 819 to 410, In tho fifty-elghth inning ho ndded 25 to his string, but frozo attor gotting tha balls togother, Daly all this time, a8 the gcoro will show, was dolug searcely anything, nothar playing well nor Loing favorad with ol 10 any degreo.

On tho 26tk day of Soptembor tho bmml.lml Expositlon Building, with its onormous snd va- rled contents, roprosenting tho industry, ingonu- ity, and wisdom of thousands of pooplo, was thrown open to tho public. Tho dedioatory coromonies wore of o cheoring clinracter, and the Intorost which tho citizens of Chicago took in tholr new toy was ovidonced by tho crowded attondance on that nusplelous ovening. Thore- aftor tho attondanco was uniformly largo, Even during tho first fow weoks of its oxistonce, whon tho gloomy clouds of financial atorm gatherod over tho oity, tho Exposition scomed to bo n gen- oral rondozvous for happy,curious,and Interested spectators, Tho Interior of the building never looked lile o panio, and tho oheorful counto- nances which hoverod around the useful aud pretty articlos on exhilition wore in plonsing contragt with the sombro, thoughtful, anxious faces on tho atreots and in tho storos. Exaur- slons from tho country brought in many of theso beaming countonances, and no smell sharo of nccoptablo curronoy, Cortninly, tho Exposition puvod Chicago from o vory largo and gonoral opidemio of “tho blues," whilo™ that unplengant digenso was raging as viru- lontly in_ St. Louls, Cincinnatl, Now York, and_Philadolphin 88 the_yeilow fover in Shroveport and Mompbis, Tho Diroctors of tho Exposition, therefora, deserve tho full gratitude of tho people for providing thom with an objoot which distracted thoir attontion from the fore- bodings of financiors, tho long facos of bank- Drosidonts, and the porpotunily-incroasing dis- trust in monotary circles. Bustilug orowds, such an aro found overy day in the xlmamon, do ‘more to produce nu ers of good spirits than all tho most chicorful editorinls in the West, and tho study of character, featuro, ond whatever clse offered in that building, was surely mora invig- orating at the time than the atudy of dey-book ond ledgor. Ofticinl roturna_of tho electlon of Tuondny Liave not beon made, nor have the official atate- ments of datly atlondance and receipts beon fully madomp,” An unofilsial statoment, hows ovor, sliows that the building has beon opened for forty-two days, not counting Sundays, and that, ot o moderato ostimato, tho attondanco was 660,000 porsons, making an_nverago daily attondabeo of somothing like 15,000, which, panloand Lard times conaidored, {8 something e need not ba ashamed of. The most romarkablo feature of tho whole term is that tho intcrest was sustainod oxcellontly wntl tho vory last day of tho Expoition propar, Yosterdsy ofternoon and eveniug, tho finalo of tho season, the building was crowded, not less than 40,000'having squcozed thelr way in, Who thentras uiTered Sligbily. but not by any meaus a8 sovorely as m(ght‘imvn beon expected, It was o suitablo ending to n very successful senson, Monday and Tucsday aro to be given lIE to char- itable purposes, and on Wodnesdsy tho grand finale is to bo given, Tho pumerous domands from various coitntry oxcursion parties have beon duly considered, and the Directors aunounco that they will make Wedneaday evening a feature toboromembered.

Of tho former, itis unnccossary to say more than to remind the audionces of bis brill- innt performancos at the Rubinstein-Wieniawski concerts lnst season, Tho Kunkel brothers aro proneunced by Rubinstoln as the chief g}l\mn duet performers in tho world.
