BILLIARD MATCH FOR FIVE HUSDREp DOLLARS
TIEMAN TIE WINNER

BILLIARD MATCH FOR FIVE HUSDBEp DOLLARS
TEXAN THE WINNER.
The Match between Phil Tieman, the cham
pion billiard player of Cincinnati, and George j.
/ Arnold, manager of the Wells Troupe, which
VIC announced as made, came off last night, or
rather this morning, at Boman & Tieman's bill
lizard saloon. The terms OF the match were that
Tieman should play tho carom game, against
Arnold'S full game, 900 points. These were
long odds, especially it had been bruited
about that Arnold had beaten the celebrated
Phelon at the same game, but SO confident were
the friends of Tieman, that previous to the COM
mencement of the match, bets of two TO one on
him went begging.
As the saloon was open to alt, dense crowd
was present, but there sufficient space kept
clear around the table to allow the players, um-
pircs aud reporters ample room.
Precisely at minutes of II, the game COM
mcnced, John McClelland being chosen umpire
for Arnold, and William Stutler for Ticmann, ).
NJ. Scott being, by mutual consent, appointed
4 game keeper. Previously to the play, Mr..
McClelland announced that persons intending TO
bet, were expected to make their books up be-
fore the commencement Of the game, as silence
after the players commenced would be strictly
enOned.
At this juneture, Mr.. Leffingwell, one of the
company engaged at the National Theatre, who
it seems is not upon good terms with Mr.. Ar.
mold, made an insulting remark upon Mr.. Ar
nOld's chances Of winning, which was promptly
rebuked by Mr. McClelland and raised burst
of Indignation among those present, which had
the effect of causing Letingwell to take seat,
and afterwards leave the room.
The play then commenced, Tieman winning
the lead, but no harm was done for several
shots; at length Tieman went in and made
beautiful run of II, keeping the balls together,
and touching them lightly us Zephyrs breath.
1t was speedily seen that poor Arnold had no
chance In his fourteenth innings, Teman
mod nd ClSnfnd
his ball. Half all hours play and the score
stood Tieman 1885, Arnold SO. AT the next in
nings Arnold reduced the odds to 40, and this
was the nearest approach he made during the
play. Ticman then made another run of n,
and subsequently one Of 10; the largest number
scored by Arnold being 10; at the 26th innings
the score stood Ieman 246, Arnold l5l, and
from thence it was Nicholas LongworthS estate
to dividend of the Ohio Life and Trust Com
pany.
Tieman made his last big run onthe 9th in
nngS, when he scored rs in handsome style,
principally upon the red balls, around the table
By this time all interest in the game had ceas-
ed, for it was plain that Arnold had not the
ghost of n chance. In fact, Tiemnn himself play
ed carelessly, aud finally scored the 500 points,
his opponent having yet 1877 to make.
The game throughout was marked by many
beautiful shots, cVidencing both players to be
master hands. The last carom, and the one
which ended the contest, exhibited the highest
knowledge, and was executed with precision
that we have never seen eaualled. The late hour
at which we write, cOmPrls us to he bret.

insertion of the article in question relative to
the contemplated Bible presentation was aimed
at herself, VIC take great pleasure in correcting
that impression. Our design in publishing it
was wholly to call public attention to the extent
to which the ubnegaton of law in this district is
being palliated in this case, and the means Icy
which it is being CLOSED oyer.
1--WE regard the Sickes trial, with its con-
comitants and its results, as being, from begin
ming to end, the most Migrant and dangerous
scouting of law and truth known to the his tory
Of American jurisprudence; and deem it duty
we owe to this community to guard its future
as far the STIR do so, from the evil con-
sequences likely to flow from it. We also re-
gard the Rev. Mr. Ilaey'S role in the cast of
the dyumatis PERSONA Of its evolutionary lca-
lures, as, perhaps the least creditable to the
cause, Of any other style of Christianity than
flash Christianity, of any Of them; and we
doubt not that thinking people who have the
