which are two billiard tables, was seated the single
player. lnrge portion Of this room. including the
billiard tables, shut of from the crowd By cord
aud behind Tie tablcs, IN large armchair, sat Mr.
Morry, with his back nearly directly TO the crowd
Two gentlemen, reporting for the press, kept the
gore, aud two other gentlemen. Mes.rs Tournoud

or rather carried them from one room tn
tie other. The adversaries Of Mr. Morphy were

They were al either Old or mddle-ageI men. and
periOr players, while Mr.. MOrphy is but twenty-one
years Of age. The boards Of the eight players were

with great desperation, was beaten. Thus he beat
six while two, who acted on the defensive and only
sought draw game, effected their purpose, but adraw

cred equivalent to beat.
During the entire game, which lasted just ten
hours Mr. Morphy sat with his knees and eyes against
the bare wall, never once rising or looking toward the
audience nor even taking particle OF drink other
