Slosson went ot it from the start with a determination, despite the fact that he was 80 recently beaten by Sexton. With un- falling nerve the Chicago boy plied the cue in his most delicate style, vursing the balls with a tenderness and accuracy rarcly seen, and playing the open-table ahots as well with the ut- most preciston and briliancy. Sexton had no chance agaleat such playing, and, after the big run, it was no wonder that he had little spirit for the game. The audlenco was as large as that of Monday night, with hundreds of ladicr. The beautiful play was tharoughly appreciated, and, dnring his long run, Sloswon was rrected enthusiaatieally as cach fifty was scored, while, nt the finish of the uncqualed feat, there was & furore. The game was called ot 8:25, W, Vance acting as umpire for Bexton, Blosron umplring for himself. Slosgon won the fead, but fafled to count, nsdid Sexton.

Two Innings later he begmn more clockwork nurse-caroms, and did not cease his brilllant plays upon the rat untit the balls from on the ninety-seventh shot. le then made a counting stroke from the string, and played several fine position shots, his one-hundredth being a beau- tifullv-cxecuted three-cushion carom from a difficult pothtion, thut ylelded him nfine posi- tlon on the bottom rail, and he resutned his fine nursing amid erest applause. He crosscd {0 the rightside rall, down which the ivones rolled slowly, with a constant clicking, obedient to the gentlo tap of the plaver’s French cue. Ha turned the top earner vety skillfully, after counting 200, and drove the spheres down the rall, seeming to exerclse n magiclan’s control over thelr motion. Another corner was turned with equnl skill, and down the left-side rafl the ivories rolied, gently or quickly as the player chose, “Two bundred nud twenty-five, 250, 800, wery counted, and still the balls obeyed the vlayer's will. Three bundred and twents-seven are counted, annther corner {s turned, and the spheres are clicking slong the bottom rail lke the pendulum of a clock.
