dinian government. 1t should also be remembered
that Sardinia, Tuscany, and Parma, are now all
under the dictatorship of the King Victor Emman-
uel, and that those States are under martial law
No one, especially body of volunteers what
ever their Intentions can enter the domains now
under dictatorial sway without infringing that
martial law and making themselves liable to severe
penalties
John Seereter. of Detroit, writes repiy to
Michael Phelan's deplination of the new billiard
challenge. 1t is addressed to Porter's Spirit and
enters into elaborate explanations of the circum-
stances of Seereiter's defeat. Three points are
made, as follows:
l. The fact that Mr.. Phelan put upon the Ia
Bile, upon which the match was played, cloth of
exceeding and very unusual fineness. had never
played upon a cloth of anything like such ineness
and felt that the unaccustomed run of the balls up
ON it would be a serious detrment to nv game: but
my friends, too confident to be particular persuad-
ed me to make no objection to the cloth. Could
have had ten days more practice upon it, am sat
stied that could have made larger average by
at least five in the hundred.
2 The balls were of very UNEQUAL weight so
much so that was all through the first thousand
points in getting accustomed to them. | cannot es-
innate how much l lost in that way. | honestly
believe that lost at least two hundred points bv it,
1t may be said that to the cloth and balls, they
as fair for one as the other. ] answer that
they were selected and brought on here by Mr..
Phean, and it is not likely that he went out of the
usual course to his own detriment
g. Mr. Phelan knew my game well, having atten-
tivel watched my three long matches with Chrys-
tai, while, on the other hand | knew nothing of
his tactics or style of game. Every billiard play
er will appreciate the decided advantage which
he had over me by this, both with reference to
his preparatory practice, and in the actual encoun
ter.
The following is personal Seereter evidently
disbeeving the reports of Phelan's ill-health
have one word to say as to Mr.. Phean's health
and practice. SO long as his rheumatism and want
of practicewere constantly kept in the newspapers
as shield behind which to retire in case of defeat
their being so displayed was mere question of
taste, and personal to himself; but when he still
parades them as a plausible ground for enhancing
the glory OF his victory and aggravating my de-
feat, must say that think such course extreme
ly unmanly, and that as to the matter of fact he
was in both better health and better practice than
| was. 1t is well known that he prepared himself
by constant, systematic practice with one of the
best carom players in the United States, while
was compelled to get all my practice with men
whom had to discount and double discount at the
full game. He also, not merely well, but in
the most full robust, and perfect health. as was re-
marked by all who saw him here. On the contrary,
was not at all well that evening, but kept my feel
ngs to myself, and asked no favor, nor do now
that account.
