THE EsGLIsH BILLIARD CHAMPION AGAINST MI
CHAEL PHELAH.--ThOse of our readers who take an
interest billiards and the billiard championship, will
be glad TO learn that me ssures now on foot tor
great international match at billiards between Roberts
the world-reIowned English champion at that game,
and Michael Pheian, who by general accord, is re-
garc ed as the champion Of America. This is meet
ing which has been long talked of aud much desired
but toward which, until the present tme no actual
steps have been taken. BY the steamer Asia, how |
ever which arrived here few days ago, there came
a commissioner direct to Mr.. Phelan, with authority to
address bin for the purposes OF an International ma'ch
To be PLAYED if possible early next + all. lmne
datey on his arrival this city, the representative OF
Mr. Roberts sought Mr. Pbelau, aud the result of the
Interview that followed was that Mr. PheIan, without
hesitation, agreed to give Mr. Roberts the meeting he
desired For the terms of the meeting he referred TO
his published statement, rs il appeared some mouths
ago in Porier's Spra Of the Times, which has been |
seen by Mr. Roberts ana which he, Mr. Phelan, held
himself ready to comply with in every particular |
On the inquiry Of the agent Of the Enghsh cnah
pion as TO what anount OF stake Mr, CO. me
Ian propoeed the meeting should be made Tor lac |
answered promptly that he would play Tor S2ooo OF
$40 COO side and more if Mr.. Roberts so desired
According however to the terms of tbs bulletin to the
billiard world as If appeared in POrters SPIRIT Mr.. |
Phelan said he would require Mr. Roberts to come |
here to play him, allowing tim 500 for expenses Oa

course have preferred the foIrball American game,
with 92nch balls and Mr.. Roberts on bis part, wonld
have chosen the hroe-ba winning and losing hazard
English game with u inch bas, in English fashion; |
Mr. Phenn therefore, in fair spirit of co npromise
proposed TO meet Mr. Roberts hall way, and play hun
The French threcball carom game, with balls 25,lo
in diameter Instead of the orduaIy q American balls
The agent OF Mr. Roberts duly noted these proposals.
and. EXPIRE ssipg himself gratied at the frank aud
handsome manner in which Mr.. Pbelan had met hun,
prmised To present them 10 his principal, and bring
his answer back by the return trip OF the ASIA, oil
which vessel the English champions agent Is an
officer
He stated before leaving, however that he thought
Mr Robert, would close with Mr.. Phelans terms, and
make himself ready doubtless, to come over to play
the match next Fall. There Is, therefore, fau pros
pect of match between the two billiard csebrlt.s OF
be Old and New World which will be match indeed,
and that will compensate III great part for the disap-
pointment which many in this country felt al the
refusal of Mr.. Phean To play return match with Mr.
Seereter of Detroit. The manner however, in which
Mr. Phclan has met the oveTtues of the Eughsh Bl.
Hard Champion who may be fairly considered much
more formidable competitor than Mr.. Seerieer, must
disabuso all minds Immediately of any idea thSt Mr.
Phclsn dc ciued 10 meet Mr. Seereter again from want
of nerve As for Mr.. Roberts his renown is much
greater as billiard player than that Of any other man
who ever lived aud if Phelau can succeed in beating
him. he viii stand like Morphy, the undisputed Cha"'-
pion vi the world. lfofier e Sp"'''
