taking shape aud there is but little doubt that, be-

next year is three months old shall b. called upon
10 observe the acual contest in this city aud to &C.
cord TO one or the other Of the renowned players the

Juue II we noticed the arrival, by the steamer ASA
Of gentleman who came commissioner ron MI

Mr. Pbelan At once responded to the inquiries vi nr.

from M Roberts through the sane gentleman VINO
had acted for the English champion on the previous
occasion. This gentleman then appointed another
gentleman Of experience and address to meet MI.

II will be seen that the above does not differ IN any
particular except to toe time of play with the or
cinal prop, siion which Mr.. Phelan put forward TO
Mr. Roberts through our columns, under date OF the
2sih Of November Of last year. That proposition was
conditioned for meeting to take place before the @oh
of November Of this year. with four months notice to
Mr. Phelan Of its acceptance, IN order that be might
have due time for prepais'ioni Dut MI fneitn 10"
really extends that time four months Logger, circun'

Phelan Is not DESTROYS Of the match. AS we have al
ready said, therefore match between the champions
OF the be may now be reasonably counted
upon and those who disposed to back their favor
ties NAV begin to feel their way in ntonal vaaers
aud the highways and bye-ways Of billiard sentiment
in this metropolis. We have no doubt that MIR. Phe'
Ian will be stcuty stood by in this counrycertainy
he will be in this city, and despite the Worldwide rep
down to the Isst moment. If steadness, skill, un-
fiuching nerve and reliable good faith eau JUSTLY Ia
vOr and investment, there viii be none TO regret the
selection Of him for their money down 10 the pont
of the play, even though he should not succeed IN
bearing off the palm Of victory. We shall await with
anxiety the re- pouse of Mr. Roberts, and hope to see
it come accompanied by his first deposit.

the next race in which we shall hear Of the dongs OF
Piioress, will be that for the Corporal on Plate at
Newcastle which was to be for on the Both Of last

at imposts varying from sixtyeght to hundred and
tyenty-four pounds. We fancy, however, that Mr.
Ten Brock will scarcely let his mare take so long
journey as that to Newcastle certain straws in the
betting seeming TO show that the wind boTs in the

too we do not suppose she will go for the Liverpool
or Stamford Cups for which il will be SEEN from the
