CUSHMAN'S FAREWELL, Splendid Tribute to the Great American Actress. CROWNED WITH LAUREL, Speech of William Cullen Bryant. + Torchlight Procession and Reception at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Charlotte Cushman last night bade farewell to the New York public in the rdle of Lady Macbeth. ‘The audience that assembled to take leave of the great tragedienne was remarkable alike for its number and intelligence. From the dome to the parquet every available seat was occupied, and rows of eager spectators were ranged behina the Nine of chairs, blocking up every available Space in the vast auditorium. Seen from the stage the house presented one compact mass of humanity, Yet the most perfect order was everywhere observable—order ruffied rather than disturbed by the frequent outbursts of applause that greeted the great actress at the most telling points of her interpretation. Tho scene Was well worthy of the occasion, and seldom has the public of any city shown more genuine enthusiasm and respect fora retiring favorite. New York evidently took to heart the lesson of Paris in bidding farewell to Mme. Dejazet, and Qnding a much more worthy subject, proved last night that the capital of America could also Appreciate artistic worth. Seldom hasan artist been rewarded with so touching a proof of the Attachment and respect of her fellow citizens, Few, it must be confessed, have passsd through the trying ordeal of stage life with a reputation hike Miss Cushman’s, which even the breath of poandal has never dared to touch. It is needless Bt this time of day to refer to Miss Cushman’s grand and _ impressive performance of Lady Macbeth. In force of characterization and intense realization of masculine passion, mingled with something of woman’s tenderness, it has, per- haps, never been surpassed. Some of Miss Cush- man’s critics have even found it unwomanly in the conventional sense, and tnank heaven it is so. But it is the absolute realization of the poet's thought, and when Macbeth exclaims, “Bring forth men-children only!” we can’ sympa- thize with him thoroughly through the Picture of unsexed womanhood given us by the actress. What Rachel was to France, what Ristori is to Italy, is Cushman to the Americap stage. Her place in our dramatic his- tory will be as marked as that of Siddons and O'Neill m English dramatic history. Siddons, after occupying an unrivalled position before the British public, bade farewell to the stage in the character of Lady Macbeth, but without receiving that marked recognition which was bestowed on the great American tragedienne last night. It was truly @ noble tribute to genius when the Prospective rulers of the Commonwealth joined ‘with the puolic in expressing admiration and re- spect for an actress who gave life and color to the noblest creations of Shakespeare’s genius. ‘When she appeared on the scene the writings of the great dramatist appeared to acquire new power and intensity, and her disappear- ance from the stage will leave a void it will be dificult to fil, In the demonstration last night this feeling found expression. It was through the Arcadian Club that the thought which was in every one’s mind crys- Tallized into the magnincent demonstration of last night. Following the suggestion made by the HERALD the members resolved to initiate the de- monstration, Members of the other clubs—notably the Army and Navy—joined in the proposed tribute of respect, which cuiminated in the proceedings which we chronicle, As a souvenir of the occasion the members of the Arcadian Club presented a wreath of laurel and a black velvet cushion having Miss Cushman’s monogram and that of the club embroidered in gold. The motto—“Patmam qut meruit, serat”—being also embroidered in gold letters. The decorations of the auditorium were su- perb. Even the facing of the upper circle was mot neglected. Banners bearing the coats-of-arms of the several States of the Union were placed here, ‘witn a shield with golaen stars and two silk na- tional fags as acentre piece. The other two balco- nies were adorned by tastefully arranged tricolored Strips ofnew mousseline de laine knotted with cock- ades, The chandeliers on every tier were neatly hung with bright green artificial leaves and bunches of natural-colored wax grapes. These, under the strong gaslight, shone brilliantly and had a splen- aid effect. The left hand lower proscenium box, like its vis-d-vis, was adorned with artificial ow- ers and fruit id American standards artistically arranged. Over this box was a banner bearing the legend “Arcadian Club” in gold letters on a fheld of autumn leaf colors, The box opposite had @ similar banner with the words ‘Army and Navv Clav.’? The upper private boxes were also draped in a unique manner with crisps of new bunting having medailion fastenings and pendant tassels of blue. Close up to tne proscenium columns were two silver Jountains, at least four ieet nigh, throw- ing coustant streans of Cologne water. nthe Army and Navy box were Generals Han- cock, Ingalls, Greer, MacMahon, Bartlett, Prince, Gordon Granger, Avertitand Colonel T. H. Stew- art. The Goveruor eiect, Samuel J. Tilden; the Mayor elect, W. H. Wickham; William Cullen Bryant, K. H. Stoddard, District Attorney Ben- | jamin kK. Pheips aad A, 38, Sullivan, occupied Places in the Arcadian box, In the other boxes were General Craig and Clarence Seward and | tamuy. THE PRESENTATION. : Witn the termination of the play came the event of the evening, the presentation of a laurel | nambeau bearers appeared wreath and addresses, When the curtain, aiter short delay, went up it discovered the memvers of the Arcadian Club and @ number of distin- guished guests and a large representation of actors and actresses from the various companies grouped on the stage. In tue centre were the Governor and Mayor elect, Mr. Algernon Sullivan, Mr. Wil- liam Cullen Bryant, Proiessor Roberts, Mr. Lester Wallack and Mr. Dion Koucicault. Miss Cushman had laid aside her stage costume and occupied sition in front of the members of the theatri- cal provession, As soon as the applause of tne audience had sufficiently subsided, Professor Roberts read with power and leeling the followin, ieee dedicated to Miss Cushman by Mr. Stod- ard :— SALVE, REGINA ! ‘The race of greatness never dies; Here, there its hery children rise, Perform their splendid parts, And captive take our hearts.

STODDART, When Professor Roberts had concluded his read- ing Mr. Cullen Bryant advanced to present Miss Cushman, on behal€ of the Arcadian Club, with & wreath of ilanrel. It ‘as at once @ simple and appropriate trioute. ‘The wreath, formed of laurel leaves, tied with white ribbons, rested On a@ black velvet eusbion, In presenting it Mr. Bryant said :— SPEECH OF MR, BRYANT. MapaM—The members of the Arcadian Club have desired me to present to you the crown of laurel, Although of late years little tamiliar with matters connected with the stage, I make it @ pleasure to compiy with their request. Be pleased to receive it as both a token of their proud admiration of your genius and their high esteein for your persona] character, You remem- ber the line of the poet, Spenser, The laurel, meed of mighty conquerors, Well is that line applied in the present instance. ‘The jaurel 18 the proper ornament for the brow of one who has won 80 eminent and enviable a re- nown by successive conquests in the histrionic ars, You have taken @ queenly rank in your profession; you have carried into one department of it after another the triumphs of your genius.

Receive, then, the laurel crown as a token of what is conceded to you, as a symbol of the regal state in your profession to which you have risen and go illustriously hoid, On the conclusion of his stort address the ven- erably poet was warmly applauded. Miss Cash- man, who exhibited signs of deep emotion, re- turned thanks im @ Very gracelul speech, She said :— ‘MISS CUSHMAN'S REPLY. Miss Cushman said:—‘Beggar that Iam—I am even poor in thanks, butI thank you!" gentie- men, The heart has no speech—its only language is a tear or @ pressure of the band, and words very leebly convey or interpret its emotions. Yet 1 would beg you t0 believe that in the three little words Inow speak—“‘I thank you,” there are heart depths, which 1 should fail to express better, though 1 should use @ thousand other words. i thank you, gentlemen, for the great honor you have offered tome; I thank you not only for iny- self, but for my whole profession, to which, through and by me, you nave paid tails very grace- 1ul compliment! Uthe few words I am about to say savor of egotism or vainglory you will, Jam sure, pardon me, inasmuch as iam bere only to speak of my- sell! You would seem to compliment me upon an honorable iiie. As Ilook back upon that lite it seems to me that 1t would have been absolutely impossible for me to bave led ahy other. In this I have, perhaps, been mercifully helped more than are many Oi my more beautilul sisters in art. I was, by a press of circumstances, thrown at an early age into a@ proiession for which I had re- ceived no special education or schooling; but 1 had already, though so young, been brought face to face with necessity. 1tound lite sadly real and Intensely earnest; aud, tn my ignorance of other Ways of study, | resvlved to take therefrom my text and my watchword. 10 be thoroughly in earnest, intensely in earnest, in all my thoughts and in all my actions—wnether in my proivssion | Or out OF it—became my one single idea, andI honestly believe herein lies the secret of my suc- cess tn lite, 1 do not believe that great suc- cess in any art can be achieved without it. I say Unis to the beginners in my profession, and Tam sure ail the associates mm my art who have honored me with their presenve on the occasion, will Indorse what I say 10 this—art ts’ an absolute mistress; sbe will not be coquetted wih or slighted; she requires the most entire seli-devo- tion and she repays with grand triumphs! To you, gentlemen of the Arcadian Club, ana to all who have united to do me honor; to the younger poet who has enthroned me in his verse, and to the older poet, who brings the prestige of his name and fame to add a glory to the crown ke offers me; to the managers uf this theatre, who Dave so liberally met all my wishes and require- ment during this engagement, as well as to the members Ol the company wno fave so cheertully seconded my efforts, und last, not least, to tne | members of my projession who have so graciously added by their presence to the happiness of this occasiou—I return my cordial thanks. To my public—what shall say? Krom the bot- tom of my heart 1 thank you, who have given me always consideration, encouragement and pa- tience. Who have been ever my support, my com- Jort, my main help. Ido not now say Jarewell to you in the usual sense of the word. In making My final representations upon the mimic scene, in the varios cities of the country, I have reserved to myself tue rigbt of meeting you again, wicre you have made me believe that I give you the pleasure, which I receive myself at the same time, at the reading desk. To you, then, I say, may you fare well and may { fare Well, untilat no distant day we meet again there. Meanwhile, goou, kind inends, good night, and God be witn you. ‘The last words had scarcely died away when the enthusiasm of the audience found vent in a burst of appiause. While Miss Cusiman bowed ber acknowledgments some lady on the stage struck up the weil known song, ‘Should Auid Acquaintance Be Forgot?” The refrain was taken up by the people assembled on the stage and by some in the audience, and @ scene of en- thusiasm rarely Witnessed in an American house ensued. But above the voices of the singers could be heard the cheers of the thousands who thronged the streets outside anxious to pay their meed of homage to America’s great artist. Amid @ scene of the greatest enthusiasm the curtain went down, aud those present adjourned to take par: in the outdoor display which was to bring this remark- able demonstration to an end. 7 THE SCENES OUTSIDE. When Miss Cushman stepped into her carriage in waiting, a cheer arose that made the weikin ring. True to the excellent programme arranged by the Arcadian Club, under whose auspices the creditable demonstration was originated, the in good round numbers, and amid the most enthusiastic tokens of appreciation the regiment of courtly gentlemen escorted the great heroine up Twenty- third street to the Filth Avenue Hotel. It may be a8 weil to state that the spectacle was a memora- ble one, for the ten or filteen thousand people present will hardly torget it. Joyous shouts greeted Miss Cushman at every halt—end there were many, since it was with difficulty that @ passage could be forced through the surging multitude. The eflect was grand, The flaming torches, borne by men of weaith and eminence, the hearty und appreciative display by the people, to say nothing of one of the most brilliant pyro- technic exhibitions ever given in this city, com- bined to render the occasion one that must forever remain sresh and green in the hearts of those who witnessed tt, Miss Cushman’s driver had a hard time of tt; for, despite the excellent arrange- | mente on the part of the police authorities, the J Masses Moved toward her carriage as the surf rolls up the beach, Never, in all the his. tory of the stage, was such an_ ovation pail to @ member of the theatrical protes- siot. Now and then we hear of popular demonstrations in benall of the great people who adorn the stage, but it is questionable whether the spontaneous and enthusiastic exhibition of leeiing displayed last night in bidding adieu to one of the most accomplished interpreters of the drama of her time has or will ever be excelied, Amid the firing of- rockets, brilliant iiuminatious and the triumpoant strains of a tie band, the carriage contatning the idol of the hour wheeled slowly round the corner of ‘Twenty-third street, toward the Fifth Avenue Hocel, in che vicinity of which a crowd of 9,000 or 10,000 persons had already assembled, and ag the procession hailed in sight, a dealening shout arouse, THE FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL, Previous to the arrival of Miss Cushman at the Futh Avenue Hotel, the pariors and the corridors were occapied by @ itew privileged ladies gentiemen who had been granted permission® by the proprietors to pay their respect to Miss Cushman as she entered the hotel, and also take some part in the popular demonstration, Among those who were present were Mr. W. M. Evarts, Collector Arthur, Com- missioner Duryea, Mrs. Duryea and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Judson Jarvis, Mr. John Gilbert, Alger- non 8. Sullivan, Mr, Josh Howard, Colonel King and the guests o! the hotel. Immediately upon the arrival of Miss Cushman at the hotel, accom- panied by Mr. Jarrett, she proceeded ge bo the corridors and the parlors, where she was greeted with manifestations of respect and pleasure by the ladies and gen en as- sembied, to the balcony over the principal entrance, jronting Madison Park. Immediately upon Miss Cush! presenting herself she was greeted with 1mm cheering by @ crowd that covered every ailable space as far as the eye coul see. Though there were 250 police- men on duty to keep order it was with some difficuity that room was made nnderneath the balcony jor the band, The crowd was very good natured and very enthusiastic, but it was Pent up, for so Immense a throng, in a compara tavely and locomotion was not very easily accomplished. Durin, lice effort the Gispiay of freworks was contin: ese fireworks, tor elegance of design and effectiveness of combination, have seldom been equalled tn the city. Miss Cushman expressed her great delight at this spectacic, and it was @ delight that was shared by the multitude below. There were several demands tor & speech from Miss Cushman, but it was @ physical impossibility to comply with the re- quest, even ii there had been any previous in- tention of doing so, Mr. Jarrett was asked, as one of the rockets went out in darkness, what be- came of the sticks, Miss Cushman promptly re- } plied for him, that Mr. Jarrett was so much occu- ied with “stars” that he could pay no attention ‘o sticks, This was a joke that was greatly appre- ciated, and uttered under the circumstances of her ‘areweli,” Say PROUD be cherished as @ pleasant memory. 1e Spey of freworks con- tinued to amuse the crowd for about halt an hour, and the band played @ selection of operatic airs, The spectators seemed unwilling to allow Miss Cushman to depart; but Mr. Jona Gil- bert stepped on the balcony, and suggested to the Gistinguished actress the probability of her taking cold, and the suggestion was taken, and she bowed ber acknowledgments to tne people, and stepped into the pariors, where, aiter shaking hauds with @ few of the company, she retired to her rooms, AMUSEMENTS. Italian Opera—“‘Aida.” Verdi's last opera was given at the matinée yes- terday at the Academy of Music before a larger audience than is generally seen this season at the Saturday afternoon performances of the Strakosch troupe, There is no doubt now of the entire popularity of this mangnificent work, which becomes more attractive the Oftener it is heard. The feature of the present cast is undoubtedly Miss Cary, whose impersonation of the rdle of Amneris has become worthy of being placed in vhe gallery of great lyric portraits, She has entirely mastered the dramatic requirements of the role, and she sings the music with an ease and expression that fulflls every demand. Mme. Potentinl, who under- took the titie rdle yesterday, was so ill that an apology had to be made jor her before the third act by Mr. Lanza, the prompter. Carpi was In fine voice, and the trying music of Radames found in him @ faithful interpreter. His acting of the Part, however, is not sutisfactory, Del Puente, as Amonasro, and Scolara, as the King, were deserv- ing of praise, and Fiortni, as Ramfis, waa not. The programme for this week 1s as 1ollows:—Monday, “Eroani,’ Mue. Maresi; Wednesday, “Lucia,” Mile. Albani; Friday, “Rigoletto,” Mile. Albani, Steinway Hall—Theodore Thomas? First Symphony Concert. When Mr. Thomas took his paton in hand at eight o’clock last évening there was not a vacant seat in Steinway Hall. The popularity of his orchestra in New York has now reached a point that 1s not surpassed by any other attraction, musical or dramatic, that can be brought betore the public. The programme was of especial interest to musicians. There were three works, the Harold Symphony of Berlioz, a piano concerto by Grieg and the Heroic Symphony of Beethoven. The work of Hector Berlioz was first performed at Irving Hall on May 9, 1863, by Mr. Thomas, and afterward, under the same able di- rector, at the same hall, on March 24, 1866, The school of Berlioz was the frst impulse given to composers to emancipate themselves irom the traditions of the past «nd to use the boundless | resources of modern instrumentation ina more pronounced, if not more effective, man- ner. His symphonies, “Romeo and Jull- et,” “Episode in the Lite of an Ar- tist,” “Fantasie,” ‘Harold in Italy” and “Damnation of Faust’? awoke a world of heated discussion when they were produced, In the work unaer review at present the most striking char- acteristics of his style are displayed. 1t consists of four movements, which are classified as fol- low: Harold im the Mountains’ (scenes of melancholy, happiness and joy) ; “March and Even- ing Prayer of the Pilgrims; “Serenade ot a Moun- tameer of the Abruzzi to His Beioved ;” ‘orgies of the Brigands.” ‘The hero, as we have said on a previous occasion, is the Chiide Harold o1 Byron, and the novelty of the work consists in the repre- sentation of tne wanderer by a solo imstrument, ‘Ve viola, to which he gives a distinct theme. The immense command over instrumentai eflects 80 eminently possesyed by M. Berlioz is sown in every movement’ of this work. ‘herd are many clashing effects in the first number that are akin to positive harshness. ‘Ine secoud movement 1s a tone poem of real beauty. Tae march is a stately, impressive subject, and the intervening passages, representing the responses Of the pilzrims chunt- ing the litany, produce a singuiar effect, As the movement draws to a close with @ sort of dialogue between the mute and the cor Frangais, while the pizzicatt of the contra-basses rejeat the measures of the march, Dothing can surpass the expression and beauty of the iustrumentation, The third part is eccentric rather than symphonic. The effects are rather too much of the grotesque or- der to please the ear. In the “orgie” finale the rich resources of the composer’s fertile imagina- tion are poured out with lavisi hand. The ren- dering by the orchestra was worthy of tne highest praise, the precision tack, the wonderful command of crescendo and diminuendo, the entire clearness of tone even in passages where there was danger of uniu- telligibilty, ana the periect discipline and balance between the varlous departments of the band being particularly noticeable. Mr. Charles Baetens’ Viola Obligato presented @ mechanically correct, but rather tame performance of vhe tunciiul music with which the composer has invested “Coiude Harold.” Every one was agreeably surprised at the richness of wvhought, clever workmanship and variety of subjects shown in tue con- certo. Edward Grieg is @ Norwegian, being born at Bergen, and has already mage a name in tue musical world. This concerto for piano, opus 16, played Jast night by Mr. F. Boscno- vitz, will add materially to his fame. lt is a thoroughly enjoyable work, full of genial thoughts, melodious to a degree beyond the majority of piano compositions of the present day, and conceived in @ fresh, hearty vein of mind that has no accord with the intricate theories of the new schools, The opening allegro moderato has @ very charming, strongiy defined theme in a minor key that 1s equally divided ve- tween the plano and the orchestra, It 1s instinct with the true poetic spirit, and enrichea with many subtle devices of effect and coloring. The succeeding andante commences with 4 sort of chorale given by the strings, into which the piano enters, weaving {fanciiul arabesques | around the solemn theme, and afterwards join- 1og in the prayerful utterances of tue otner lostruments. A charming effect is produced here by the cor Francais, which seems to stana forth in relief irom the orchestra lke an instru- Inental Marcel. fhe Jinale is full of rugged rhythms and characteristic themes, decidedly Scandinavian. ‘The first suvject enters again; there are moments of wild passion and melting tenderness, and the movement pulsutes with warm orchestral life trom the first note to the last. ‘the interpreter, Mr. Boschovitz, leit nothing to be desired, 80 far as ex- ecutive abuity is concerned, but his hard, unsympathetic touch robbed the concerto of much of ts attractiveness, ‘he orchestral accom. paniment was rather heavy and at times lett the piano in the shade. Beethoven’s immortal sym- phony “Erotica,” was given with an etlect, warmth, earnestness and finish that woula be sufficient alone to place the orchestra of Mr. Thomas at the head of ail existing mustcal organizatuons, The next concert takes place on the z8th inst. Grand Sacred Concerts, The loneliness of this Sunday evening will be dispeiled by the following entertainments :—Grand Opera House, “La Traviata;” St. Stephen's church, “Messa di Requiem,” Verdi; Germania Theatre, ‘‘ Ein Erfolg’’ (a success) ; Stadt Theatre, “Barbe Bleue’; Bowery Theatre, ‘ Buffalo Bill; Iiederkranz Hall, concert; Tivoli Theatre, after- noon and evening concert. Sunday amusements seem how to have become & fixed institution, and we may expect before jong to have nearly all the theatres in New York open on the Sabbath, and opera, drama, variety, circus and concert an- pounced under tne title of * grand sacred con- cert. . Mrs. Conway's Brooklyn Theatre. Mrs. D. ¥. Bowers concluded her engagement at Mrs, Conway’s Theatre in Brooklyn on Saturday night last. During the past week, up to Friday night, she appeared in a@ new play, entitled “Eleanor; or, the Fatal Marilage.”” The title role was constructed for Mrs. Bowers, and although the part does not give great scope for the display of the full power of the actress, it opens up situa- tion’ which she turns to the best advantage. Most of the interest of the drama, which is brought about by & husband’s suspicion of bis wise and bis final casting of her off, is centred upon Eleanor, and was made jorcibly effective with the audience by the acting of Mrs. Bowers. She possesses in an emi- nent degree that quiet, hall-suppressed method of expressing intense sullering which is so rare upon the stage and so absorbing to an audience, Look- ing at her from the iront of the house one is easily led into the belie! sne is personally experiencing each succeeding phase of passion, tis & realism at times painiul and enjoyable that sways one’s pathy and judgment and makes the stage What it should be—a school of instructive art. At the clove of the fourth act, when the husband drives from bis home an innocent wile, and leaves the choice of her future resi- dence to his daughter in the motier’s presence, Mrs. Bowers nanitested her abiity vo sustain the efect of a forcibly dramatic situation, The mother’s anguish af the parting from ber child, ; on her right arm, | castonal visitor, | declare they never knew her equalin putting whom she gents counsels to remain with the sor- yore father ae Bodie momen to ber own lee)- ngs, Was exquisite! rtrayed, an dence not only of tne, actress’ entire control over the scene, but perfected experience in her profession, In the jast act she dies, and at the moment of dissolution the husband learns nis wile’s innocence and is convinced of ner love tor him by her eens, Tne story of the play, which resting, was well sustained turougnout the piece at each Periormance, and though not quite new is of the kind that never grows old, for 1t 18 natural. Mrs. Bowers received excellent support from Miss Conway, whose song in the final ‘acl was well sung and in graceful keeping with the elements of the scene, Mr McCuilom and Mr. Kenedy, in their respective parts, were all that could be desired, and, judging trom the audiences that crowded the theatre during the week, the piece was successful.

Brilliant Play at the Three-BRall Tour- nament—Vignaux, Joseph Dion, Ru- dolph and Ubassy Win Each a Game— Startling Counts of Vignaux and Joe Dion. * The tournament was resumea yesterday after- noon at two o'clock, before a far larger number of spectators than one generally sees at a billiard matinée, Nobody present regretted passing two or three hours ata billiard game when they wit- nessed such an exhibition of skill as was afforded them yesterday afternoon by Vignaux and others. In his match with Slosson the great French ex. pert counted 159 carroms in one inning, and with- outany very delicate nursing. The spectators were electrified and greeted that wonderful perform. ance with rounds of applause, The games were ail played on a 5x10 GriMth’s table, fitted with De- laney’s wire cushions, During the aiternoon the champion’s emblem was on exhibition, and excited nniversal admiration a8 a@ chaste and elegant piece of workmanship. The first game was be- tween Ubassy and Daniels, and at seven minutes past two the former broke the balls but tailed to score. Daniels counted 4, which was followed by 3 from Ubassy, and then the Massachusetts champion rolled up 28, which he followed on the fourth inning by 20, On the tenth inning Ubassy warmed up to his work and added 47 to his string. At the close of the tenth inning the game stood UBASSY, 99; DANIELS, 79. Both men then played rather, cautiously until the twenticth inning, when Uvassy got the balis together and played a remarkably clever inning | Jor 104, Daniels appeared out of play, and Ubassy finally rolled up 60 on his twenty-sixth inning ana won the game. The following 18 a score of the match:— Ubassy—0, 3, 1, 12, 10, 2 2, 7, 15, 47, 8 0, 0, 1, 5, 4, | 5, 8, 11, 104, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 60—300, | Daniels—4, 28, 0, 20, 4, 1, 1, 0, 19, 2, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 0, 0, 8, 2, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0—104.

Time of game—One hour and fiiteen minutes, After @ short interval Director Gavitt called game, and at 3:25 Vignaux and Slosson strung for the lead, It was won by the former, who com- menced bustness by scoring 12. Slosson appeared a little fMurried at first, and {failed to accomplish anything worthy of notice. On the sixth inning Vignaux began to manipulate the balls very lively, not nursing them like Daly or Joe Dion, but keep- ing them close together, within two or three inches ofone another, This player is remarkable lor bringing his balls together, and yesterday atternoon he gave billiard amateurs a treat they will not long lorget. He closed nis run for 9 CARROMS, being 48 more than Joe Dion’s score of the pre- vious evening. Such a break in the early part of the game would be enough to try the nerve of the steadtest players; but it did not appear to affect young Slosson, as on the seventh and ninth in- hings he ran 22 and 31 respectively. On the thir- teenth inning, Vignaux ran 34, which he followed with 17, and on the sixteenth he rolled up 38, giv- ing him a jong lead o1 the Chicago pet. Siossou was Not idle, but playing a very steady game; and, on the sixteenth and eighteenth mnings added 28 and 80 to the Score, At the commencement of the nineteenth inning Vignaux was over 100 ahead of Slosson ; but the latter, getting the balls together, nursed them along the side cushion and scored 88, bringing him close ap to the Frenchman, Tue Spectators were wild with excitement, and when on the twenty-first inning Slossoa got the valls together again and rolled up 23 their applause was deafening. At the close of the twenty-first inning the game stood :— VIGNAUX, 285; SLOSSON, 272. On the twenty-third inning the balls were safe, and Vignaux gave a miss, a mancuyre that Sios- son imitated. Both played for safety twice, and then Slosson was forced to play for acount, He left carrom, and Vignaux, making ten good shots, won the game. The following 1s the score :— Vignaux—12, 1, 1, 0, 1, 159, 0, 3, 0, 0, 2, 2, 34, 17, 1, 38, 0, 2, 3, 9, 0, 2, 0, 1, 1, 1, 10—300, Slosson—0, '1, 2, 2, 7, 0, 22, 6, 31, 9, 10, 0, 12, 0, 0, 28, 0, 30, 88, 1, 23, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1—276, Highest runs—Vignaux, 159, 34, 33; Slosson, 22, 31, 28, 30, 88.

The ladies were in lorce, occupying all the seatson the platform fitted up for their accommodation. The game was called at five minutes past eight, and Joe Dion winning -| the string opened the game with 9, which Daly | Jollowed with 12, There was some heavy betting on this game, both men having plenty of sup- jorters at even money. On the fourth inning Dion run 14 and two counts of 10 each on the sixth and seventh. Up to vhis time Daly had been we rather weak, but on the seventh he added | to his score. On the eleventh inning Joe ran | and, missing a massé, let Daly in, who counted | At the close of the eleventh inning the game | DION, 87; DALY, 60. Joe then ran 15, and on the thirteenth inning | went to work again, beginning to nurse along the lower cusnion, then guiding the tvories past the corner, took them half way up the left cushion and then back again to the lower, and, after resting a minute or two, he started back along the left cushion to the upper. He then manipulated them in the corner and commenced to return, when, on the 142d they began to separate, and be finally broke down on bis 1518t carrom. The spectators were tremendously excited, and the house lite- rally shook witn applause. At the close of the thirteenth inning the game stood DION, 232; DALY, 61. Dion then let up jor a little, and Daly, playing | with good nerve, ran 17 in the fiteenth inning | and 451m the nineteenth inning.
