Epectat Dispatch (o The Tribune, New Yonx, July 8.—Tho World says that the blillard match between Jacob Bchaefer, of Chi- cago, and Willlam Sexton, of this city, which all lovera of the game Lave been awalting with Interest, 18 off on account of Schaefer's falliug to comply with the terms of the match. Tae parties had deposited §1,000 plece witn Mr. E. A, Buck, editor of the Spirit of the Times, a3 half-forfelt, and the balance of the stake was to be put up July 1. Onibo after- noon of that day Bexton deposited NMs second thousand. Mr. Buck did not rocelva Bchaefer’s deposit, but on the followlng day about noon he received a dls- vatel from Moses Bensinger, of Coicago, ask- ing If he had recelved the $1,000 telegraphed biw the previous day. He replied that he had not, but soon after he received & check for 81,000 from the Central Natlonal Bank of thls city, with s note ssying they had been instructed by telegraph from Chicago to band him thst amount on scconnt of tha Bexton-Schacfer match. Bexton knew noth- Ing of this delay, but supposed that the other side had fulfilled the agreement, until he saw the facts explained in to-day's Spirit. He at once went to Mr. Buck and clatmed the forfelt, whica was pald biw, He then sent adispatch to the J. M. Brunswick & Balke Company, Chicago, offering to make & new match for $2,000 or $3,000 8 side on the same cooditions aud dates. It is belleved Lere that sume arrangement whereby the match wilt be plaved as origivally Intended will bs made in 8 few days. THE PACTS TN SHE CASE. ‘The Information conveyed in the above dis- patch will oceasion genoral regret among lovers of bilifsrds, who were looking forward with great interest to the forthcuming contest be- tween Sexton and Behacfer. The facts a5 to the falling through of the imatch will, when fully known, bhardly justify Sexton In taking adyantage of an accidental failure of Lls op- ponent to come within the requirementa of the sgreement regardiug the floal deposit. Mr. Hensioger, of the J, M. Brunswick & Balke Company, tho backers of Schaefer, is a business man, asud in no scuse a sportlug man, sod, mindful of thls 4 abllity upon his own part to properly look after the interests of Shaefer, had fotrust- ed Frank Parker, an experlenced mutcn. maker and match-player, with the charge of all preliminaries, and with the respousidility of at. tonding: to the final deposit of $1,000, which, techmcally, sbouly have beeu fn the hands of the stakeholder v Monday, July 1. Thedeposit wonld bave been stiended Lo bayond adoubt but for a aerious accideut which befell Parker last Friday.

Bensinger, trusting entively to Parker, had tot charged his mind about the tnal de: posit, aud when be learned of the full nature and extent of tarker's misfortune it wi late to reach the aiaketolder on Monda) accordingly the mouey could not be deposited until Tuesday nwrnlnf at 10 o'clock, at win bour it reschied the hauds of Mr. Duck, © stakeholder, who immudiately remitted & re- cclot for the amount. There was no hint of a claim of forfeit by Sexton, and no expectation in Chicaro that sdvantage would be tuken of the sccldental shurtcoming of a few huurs untll yesterday, wheu a telexram was recelved frotn Hexton, announciog that he hal claimed and received the forfeit ol the original deposit of ,000, and stood ready to maks another matéh for the same dates fur $2.0000r $3,000 a side. The news was a complete surprisa to Bunsiuger, who bad po idea that Boxton inteuded to trp bim up on a techulcal drelay of teu hours, especially when tha reason for the delay—viz. : the aceident to arker—was known to Bexton, Bensinger lmmedistely telecruphed Sexton, stating tho unfortunate clreumstauces whicn caused tho delay, and appealing to his hovor anl foiruess not to take advautage of the sliv, but to waive Dlls upportumity of sceur- Ing e forfeit and go* on and play the match, the ~ full amount ~of the stake of which, $2,000 s side, was In the bang the stakeholuer before noon last ‘Tueaday, and st tho same time declming to consider the proposition of Sexton upun any other basis, A reply from Bexton was re- celved laat night to the effect that he should keep the money, and so,unless be recedes, and conscuts to torego his clalm upon the forfeit and play sccording to the original ursrumenl the watch s off. 1t wil) be scen that M.
