Yesterday was the eight day that the lovers OF bill
lards have gathered at Irving Hall to witness the
contest for the championship OF America. The at
tendance was by the largest it has been thus far
The interest has increased from day to day, and will
doubtless continue TO do the contest is reduced
to narrower limits. There were two games played
YESTERDAY. The one in the afternoon was between
peery and Rhines II was an interesting one, as
for time the result was exceedingly doubtful.
Deery led on but failed TO count, and failed also
his second inning, but on his third he made and on
his fourth 81. Rhines counted from the start, and
on his fourth inning made IS, and continued to have
fair runs for some time At the first call the score
was In his favor, l24 to IS. AT the two next calls 1t
was also in his favor, but Deery had the good for,
tune 10 get in run OF 128 that at the next call
the balance was against Rhines, the score standing,
Deery 243; Rhines, Dos. The advantage that Deery
thus secured was Of but moment, Tor the score at
the next call twelve points in favor oi Rhines.
Again the scales bad momentary DIP under Deery s
gains, but finally inclined IN favor OF Rhnes, he hav,
ing thrown into his side Of the balance weight OF
nearly two Every call after this was IN his
favor-largey in his favorup to the sixteenth call
Just before the fourteenth Deery had remark
able run Of 213, which was followed by
another of 7s, while Rhines' score at three
calls p esay a9e Se score on
the sixteenth call stand III his favor, LOOT against
s07. The applause that greeted this turn In the
confidence in his skill more than justified. From
this point on the odds were in favor OF Deery. on

Rhines had but l,04s. Deery's average was IL. Inc

In the evening the attendance was very large, all
the seats upon the floor being taken and the gal
leres filed to overnowing. Rudolphe, Of Chicago,
who had already been victorious In three games-all
that he had playedwas pitted against Goldthwaite,
of this city, VINO had played the same number OF
games and lost two. Rudolphe was cool as skilful.
The game was openedsby Goldthwate, whose luck
was most unaccountaby bad during the earlier part
OF the play, while Rudolphes average was large.
on the first call Rudolphe mad 100 to Godthwaite s
A. and the next 215 to 66 He still gained with
every call and the sixth showed score IN his favor
OF $40 to las. Rudolphe was 80 FAR In advance and
Godthwates runs were so uniformly bad that there
was hut little interest In the game until the fifteenth
call OF the score. About this time Goldthwaite was
having q little better luck and he was less
than 100 behind his adversary. But thus far, how
ever he had had no run over elghty-one, but al
length kindlier star lowered over him and he ran
up TO 123 the announcement OF which was received
with laundering applause. The dinerence now be-
tween the TWO was reduced 10 nvc tne next call
Rudophe So Godthwaite sos, being the occasion
for renewed outburst Of enthusiasm on the part OF
the friends OF Goldthwaite. AT this juncture Ru-
dolphe wore a rather serious look, and those who
had money up on him felt q little shaky. But
steadiness was soon present again in their
knees aud confidence once more braced their hearts
for Rudolpne had run OF 1876, after which the score
was called, standing l0l TO sI4. Goldthwaite had
some pretty fair runs yet more poor ones: but the

result that there but little occasion for exua-
tion for the hackers OF Rudophe at the poor runs
