between evenings
Hughes and William Dufton. The match arose out
of the late Grand Billiard Handicap, in which
Dufton b came the winner of the cup. Dufton being
put in the handicap at 25 points in 200, Hughes
was not satisfied with the result, and hence the
match last evening, in which Dutton received 200
points in 1,000. The stakes were £lOO a-side. Mr.
Roberts had a new table fitted up expressly by
Yeman and Cox, of St. Michael's-place, Brompton-
square, which was, especially as to the playing part,
a very beautiful board. Fred. Morris was the
marker, and performed his duty with great care and
accuracy. Hughes won the break and £5 to £4
was laid on him to money. Hughes took the lead,
and was soon 35 to 216; but Dufton regained his
points without Hughes scoring further. They con-
tinued even up to 60. When the first 100
had been played, Dufton had increased the
points given
by 14. They went on p7l at
oy i
zn g 4
the next 100 with varbeudft scores
07or4est;ill Morris
announced Hughes 189,
being laid on Dalton, and freely taken. They
proceeded, each scoring average breaks, till, at
Hughes 260, Dufton 493, £2O to £lO was laid on
the last-named. At the third 100 Hughes reduced
the points given by making some gool breaks, and
brought the score to Hughes 406, Dufton 537, and
Hnghes was backed at £5 even. Just then, how-
ever, Dufton got a break, and pulled up 30, and
then 33, white his arlversary only scored 18, so that
the fourth 100 showed Hughes 424, Dutton 600.
He (Dalton) went on with another break to 633
and then 655, Hughes making his lot 434. Hughes
then got up a fine 47, but his antagonist scored
steadily. The game was shortly called, Hughes
506, Dufton, 701. Hughes then made 40, but still
Dufton played on and justified the confidence of his
friends by keeping still ahead all his points and
more, and got up to his sixth hundred, After
eracalolinegd
break or 60 ('he break of the evening), Morris
the score—Hughes 607, Dufton 853,
From that
point, although Hughes pulled up once or twice, it
was of no avail, as when the game was called,
Hughes 836, .Dufton 974, the last named player
got in and made the game off the balls, winning
easily by 164 points. The courtesy and attention
of Mr. Roberts, the champion, was as usual uni-
formly bestowed, and after the game Dufton and
Hughes were again matched for £lOO aside, Duf-
ton receiving 100 points in 1000,
