In the next run, Foley, by judicious play
got the balls together, end nursing them
gently scored 80 points. KaVAnRgh follow
ed with some Of the most brilliant shots Of
the evening, and made a run of rs 1.-The
| game getting very close and the excitement
Of the audience increasing with each run.
On the 59th run, after q miss by Foley, luck
favored Kavanagh, and, gettiDgthe balls to-
gether, first at one end of the table and then
at the other, he managed to make run of
65. He had made the best run Of the even
ing so far, and the chances were very much
in his favor, when en- unlucky "kiss" sent
him into the pocket
Foley saw that his opponent evidently
meant busineps, and going to work with
will he made q run of 81; but still ksva-
nagh was ahead of him. Two or three
runs followed without any decisive result,
both players working very cautiously. Two
runs more and Kavsnagh kept going ahead
despite the efforts of his adversary Foley
playing poorly, but nothing disheartened
Notwithstanding Kavanagh's success. FL
nally fortune smiled upon him, and he made
run of "a, which seemed to revive his
friends considerably. Kavanagh followed
with run Of Is, and left the balls in good
position for Fcleyj but the latter made q
horrible mics when his friends thought he
was good tor 80 atleast. Foley was evident
ly playing too cautiously. His forte was
caution; but just about this time he was
running the thing into the extreme, and lost
ground by It.
At this juncture the game was beginning
to be weary, when Ksvanagh relieved the
audience by making some fine shots around
the table, and scoring thiFty-six points. FO-
ley now appeared TO wake up, and, seeing |
his opponent so fsr ahead of him, determin- |
ed to close the gap, if possible. Getting the /
two reds near one of the corner pockets, he /
managed to nurse them until he counted |
ffty; the balls then became separated, but 1
by brilliant stroke he brought them to-
gether again and counted forty-six more,
making ninety-six points on the run. This
was followed by email runs and shy playing
on both sides. The game was almost even,
and the players were cautious about giving
any advantage in the way of " lesve."-
Finally, Foley got the two reds in the jaw
of one of the lower pockets, and nursed them
nicely for about 1--WE minutes. The balls
then became separated but he brought
them together sga'n, and without much diff.
ioul'y made q run Of "a. Here were two
arge runs in quick succession, and soon
Kavanagh found himself far bshind.
It was now midnight, and Foley was 152
points ahead of his opponent. Ksvansgh
seemed out of sorts, and his friends began
% look blue as the prospect of his defeat sp-
peared to grow clearer and clearer. Foley
put forth his best efforts, and made run of
"A, which appeared to increase the gap be-
7oud all REDEEM PtiOn. Kavsnagh, getting
he two reds in good position, summoned
Il his energies for the struggle, and had
ust made II points when he froze" him
elf, and was obliged TO make q miss. Feley
low made miss, and RavanaRh commenc-
d to play again, scoring 80 points. Il was
hen about one O'Clock, and the scors stood
9 follows:

Foley now commenced to grow careless,
nd allowed Kavanagh to make a run of 90,
nd by bad miss few minutes afterwards !
le sgain allowed avansgh to make q run
f5l. Finally Foley commenced 10 be more
areful, and BY good play managed TO score
/ points. The game then stood $50 for Kav- {
nagh, to 990 for Foley. In a few minutes I
tterwards, however, KavRnagh made q run
I AZ points, and led his opponent 40 points
n the gene. Foley then made run of Is,
ut run of % by Kavsnagh Immediately
fIerwards still left the gap open. Several
Inc runs were then made by both players,
nd the game was beginning to be closely
ontasled. At two o'clock the score stood {

From that time until three o'clock the
anne was closely contested. First it was
Isvansgh ahead and then it was Foley. '
kavansgh then made the largest run of the
I0s, which sent him away
head of his opponent and gladdened the 7
learts of the New YOrkers. The game then !

Foley was falling in the rear, and proba- s
ly would have stayed there had he not
nade lucky scratch, upon which he scored /
0 points. The game now became close
gain, and the audience were once more
eeply interested. At a quarter TO three
CLOCK the score was announced as follows; !

Kavanagh stock rising and his hackers in
oOd spirits. Several runs, varying from 20
0 80, in which there was considerable skill
were then msde by both players.
At three O'Clock the players were exactly
ven, the score being 1887 all, and Kavan- !.
gh had fair prospect Of making quite
arge run, when hewas unfortunate, and sent
lis ball into the pocket. Soon afterwards
he players were both on their last string,
nd then commenced the struggle in earn !
st. Kavanagh by q couple Of good runs,
.ot the start Of Foley, and at one time il !
eemed evident to every one that New York
must v in the day, The balls, too, were in /
n awkward Bituation for Foley, and if he
missed the shot his defeat seemed certain
Dut he counted by a brilliant stroke and
made run of 81 points.
The game now commenced to be truly ex-
iting. Foley had caught up to Kavanagh, c
md was ahead Of him II points. Ksvanagh I
rot all the balls together and made run of
10, leaving him ahead of Foley. Soon
Foley got ahead, and by splendid "lorce"
rom the cushion got the balls together and
an 25 points, leaving him only to co.
Luck was against Kavsnagh; he had SO to
70, and no prospect Of making anything so
le played for safety. The balls were all in
he string and Foley made miss, leaving
-he reds in 6ne position for his opponent,
But here Kavauagh was tried and found
wanting. He made a horrible miss when he
might just as well have run the game out,
and left the balls in such position that Fo-
ley found no difficulty in making his five,
and thus put an end to the game. Foley
beat Ksvanagh 80 points, and did 1t hand
somely, too. The game was not concluded
before the clock had struck four, and day
liOht was prettv- well advanced balore the
