AN INTERNATIONAL CONTEST AT BILLIARDS.

At the Racket-court in New York, after Fre-
derick Foulkes had been beaten by the English
champion, William Gray, Mr. Phelan, who was
present, quietly observed, " England can beat us at
rackets, but it is my opinion she cannot beat us at
billiards." Mr. Phelan has offered to pit the
American champion, Joseph Dion, against the
English champion, John Roberts. To play the
English game on the standard English table and
with the standard English balls ; the French game
on the standard table of France, and with the
standard balls of that country ; and the American
game on the standard table and with the standard
balls of this country. The three games to form
three separate matches for $5,000 each a side in
gold ; or else one match, the winner of two out of
three games to take the entire stake, which would
be $30,003 in gold. This proposition, though Mr.
Roberts will have the preference, has since been
extended to the world. The gentleman who will
deliver the cartel to the English champion is of the
opinion that he will play the English and American
games, but not the French. There is an objection
to playing two games, which is that in all proba-
bility the match would result in a " stand off,"
leaving the real question, that of superiority,
undecided. It may as well be stated, how-
ever, that Messrs. Phelan and Dion hare never seen
Roberts play, although the first-named gen-
tleman has been in England, and the latter in this
country ; and their ideas of Roberts' ability must,
therefore, be to a great extent speculative. The
objection to playing two games is, nevertheless,
reasonable. Should the challenge be accepted, Dion
will play one game in his opponent's country, one in
Canada, and the other in the United States ; or he
will toss for choice of intermediate neutral ground.
The terms specified are such that not a single objec-
tion can be urged against them. Roberts has played
on American tables ; Dion is a stranger to the Eng-
lish table, and likewise to the French ; and though
of Dion,
a vast figure, the stake, being within reach
who probably stands no higher in this country than
Roberts in England, should be at
the command of
the latter also.
" By all means, then," generously
adds lVilkes' Spirit of the Times, " let us have an in-
ternationalif only to prove that John
Roberts, oaf
co
f Enngtlesantd,,
or Charles Burger, of France,
and not an American player, is the champion of the
world at the three standard games of billiards."

DEATII OF THE UNITED STATES MINISTER AT
BEumx.—Mr. Wright, the United States Minister at
Berlin, died last Saturday morning at eight o'clock. Th©
funeral took place at Berlin on Monday last. The mem-
bers of the diplomatic body and the Prussian Under Secre-
tary of State, Herr Von Thiele, were present.
The Japanese ambassadors are at Washington,
but so far they have hardly received as much attention as
was awarded to the jugglers from the same country. They
had an audience with Secretary Seward on Wednesday,
and were presented to the President on Friday. They
bring twelve boxes of presents for Washington officials,
among them a catly sword for Gen. Grant.
