The city was full of rumors yesterday that Mr. Itobert Harris, Presfdent of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Ratlroad, had resigned his position, and that Mr. J. M. Forbes, of Boston, had heenelected to the place. Unon mquliry it was found that the rumors orlzinated from a paragraph contalr.ed in the financiul column of yesterday's New York Tribune to the effect that Mr. Harris had resigned the position of Prest- dent, and that Mr, Forbes had been chusen’ -his successor, The same authority added that Mr, Harris had been reappointed Chief Englneer of the Cnfeago, Burllugton & Quincy. As the® financial column of the New York Tribuna is raid to ba run by Jay Gould, and such paras graplis arc vften publisted for apeculutive pur- poses, but few nttached any credence to the stute- ment. Inorder to be sct right [u regard to this matter, & TRInUNE reporter eatled upon Mr. Harrds during the nfternoon, Mr, Harris wag disinclined to say anything rezarding this matter. ke would not say wiether thero was a7y truth in the report or not. “This wuch he stated, however; that no resienation had yet token piace, and that he was still the President of the Company. Yet he would not authorize the reporter.to deny the seports. He thouzht 1t improper on his part to speak of or revenl any secrets of what transpires ot the Buard meet- ings, Heo felt gieatly ntnoyed that the reporter snould linve called upon Iim foran explanation, It mav be foferred trow Mr, Harrla® demeanor that a resiznation is contemplated, and that Jay Gould has merely given away the secret promaturely to be beuefited Ly it. Several other pertons counceted with' the management ot the rond were also called npon “for a statement, bt none of them wonld say much, ‘They admlttel, howeyer, that Mr, llarris con- templated resigning the positlon of President, and ascrihed the cause to contimted ill-health, As regards tho statement that Mr. [larrls woutd assime the dulius of Chlef Engloeer, no ong belleves It. Mr. Ilurris, belug questioned about the matter, safd that Mr. Hjorisberie was the Chief Engincer of tne road, and he could see no reason why somo one clse should be appoint. e to the positton, It §s not belleved that Mr. Harris would accept this position. Fis reppta- tlun uy one of the best and nblest ratlroad man- agers In_the conntry ts so well established that he ean have tho inanagership of almost any roud for the nsking., While a possible resigna- tion of Mr, Harris might fn purt be aseribed to fll-henlth, § zht alsu bodue to A disagreement with the For Lerkins party, whicu controls therond. It is known that several of the Di- rectors who have heretofore sided with Mr, Harrls and socured s reclection to the Prest- deney, have pong over tu Forbes soul and body, thus leaving Mr. Harris without u proper backlug., It (s but natural that, under such circumstances Mr. [1arris, should rather resizn than be a were fleurehiead any longer, The apoointment of Mr. Forbes as President of the road will necessitate no change in the manage- ment of the Chicago, Burlington & Quiney, as Mr, C. E, Perkins, o relative of Mr. Forbes, has been actively managlng tic road fur some years past. The appointment of Mr. T, J. Potter as Geueral Superintendent, with headquarters at Burhington, Indicates that Mr. Perkius futends to remove from Burlington to this vity, WABASIL Speetal Dispateh to The Tribune.

DILLIARDS, Al of a sudden Chicaro has become the resl dence of two extraordinary billlard-players, one of whown flas become alreaay famous s having made tho largest run aud largest average on rec- ord fu a public match game or tournament, while the other, at his present rate of progress, will be among tho world-beaters almost before he knows it. lle has, Indeed, but a Mttie wayto go, n!‘wm be scen by some acores which are annexed, Bcbafer, as fs known, now calls Chleago his home, having been rezularly ‘engaged at the Brouswick Billlara ITall, but it is not generally kuown that his practice games denote a steady improvement, and scems quito certaln soon to make him—what many now firmly beliovd bim to be—the greatest billiard-plaver o tho - world, For tho past ten days Bchafer bas had a practice-mate and pupil o Randolph Helser, late of Indisna, but to be permanently.employed in a Chicago billlard. room which will be opened this eveolng, The strldes which Helser has made sinca be began playing with Schafer aro something woprece- dented, and at the gait he is now golng be will make youngJavob trot very fast to hold his leud. llelser has pequired Schafer’s wonderful ktmck of rall-play to o remarkable degreo of. vroficlency, snd his geoeral gome fs improviug rapidly, Tho two practice dally at the salesroom of'J.

Yesterday they played two G00- pofut Zauics, the first being won by Helser, with an uverage of exactly sixty, and the following seore: 5 enEn—7, 5, 0, 14, 114, 16, 2, 14, 58, 108, 15—l Bcuaren—1, 74, 0, 0, 1, 80, 17, 0, 7, 4—202, Aftera_short breathing spell and a plate of soup for Schafer they weot at it agaiv, this thioe with the following result: : 0, 7, 11, 442, 18, 8- Seitaren—~0, 1‘ 8, 1, h 0, 307, 22, 4, 13, 10-- 60w, Average, Hesru—10, 410, Avera Helser's run of 807, as far as It went, wos an exact imitatton of Schafer's 444, belng made en- tively along the rail, e starled the balls about a foat trom the head of the tabls on the Jefi- hand rail, them around all the four cor- ners withont Bver getting them over six inches from the rail, and when he reachgd the point of startine he had scored 253 caroms, Then he went ou, sod aftgr turnfng two more corners ho froze at 807, und falled to count frum tha spot. This was the bizgest run flelser over made o his life, nnd it was Just big d|;h to convince Sehafer that he must be up and ‘The latter got the balls two funiugs later, starting with them at the head rall near the left-hand corner. J( Helser's vlay was brilliant, Schater's was simnly stagyering, JHittiugz the balis with a sharp, clear chick which can be ‘heard in overy part of the larpest hall, ho leaves no chance for fouls or Ireezes, and nol doubt whotber a count has been made.
