TIE BILLIARD CHAHPIoSsHIP.-Ever since Mr..
Phelan won the victory over Mr. Seereter of Detroit
there has been manifested very strong desire on the
part of Mr.. Seerieters friends to induce Mr.. Phelan
to play another match, which the latter gentleman,
for amply satisfactory to himself and friends,
has declined to do. He is assailed by the West
ern player and bis hackers in abusive terms, Mr.. See
rieter's appended card being fair specimen;

That Mr. Seerieter has by his own act barred all
claim to return match unless granted solely by the
courtesy of his opponent, the subjoined card will at
test. 1t was printed in The Detroit Erening Tribune
the evening before the match was palyed:

OF course, after thus publicly announcing such
determination, Mr.. Seereters claim that he has
right to a return match Is absurd. Mr.. Phelan has
won his aurels fairly, and may wear them without
reproach, and will probably not be badgered before
his own good time into playing another match by the
gross abuse of those who envy him his title OF the
Billiard Champion of America

DRIsKrSG ForSrAKs.-We see that English jour
ns earnestly advocate the introduction of public foun-
.ains, and in many cities of Great Britain extensive
arrangements have been made for the purpose. Lords
shaftesbury, Radstock John Russell, and Others are
giving their influence actively to secure this boon for
the people. Some months ago the New-York Sab
bath Committee urged the measure for this city. We
quote their language:
"The establishment of public fountains, to which
thirsty men may resort, would be measure Of great
practical utility, at comparatively trlning cost They
need no, be Of marble or bronze eaboraely wrought,
as in most European cities: the simplest arrangement
