MisfOrtunes of the GarnierS-An In
terestiRg Exhibition Last Evening.
A part of the spacious billiard room in
the Maxwell House was partitiOned off with
curtains, last evening, to enable Mons.
GARNER and lady and the well known New
York billiardist, Maurice DAILY, to give
public exhibition of their skill in displaying
the dexterities of the billiardists' art. The
Carriers left France about eighteen months
ago. The first appearance Of Mons. Gar
nier was in New York; He is a slender
built man of medium height. Madame Is
also rather petite. They travelled west
ward, and were so unfortunate as to be in
Chicago at the time of the great fire there,
when they lost large amount
escaped with only few articles of clothing
which they hastily gathered and put on.
Having been almost ruined by this occur
renee they resolved to take a fresh start in
life, and Madame, with commendable cour-
age, resolved to assist her husband by pub
licly exhibiting what she could do at bill
lizards. She appeared last night in the or
binary attire of lady, instead of in a COS
tune expressly for such occasions, in con-
sequence of having met with another
cOntretempS. The late storm having
affected the railroads her baggage, in COM
mon with that of others, was still to be
heard from last night after it had left Day
ton. The GARNER contemplate locating in
Pittsburg, Pa, as soon as they have realiz-
ed enough from these exhibitions to enable
them to do so.
The exhibition last evening opened with
an off band trial of skill between Mons.
GARNER and Mr.. DAILY, the latter of whom
aspires to the championship of the
best American four ball player. The
game was a French carom, 100 points:

RESaLT OF NOT TAKING A PAPER.


We have friend, very eStimable man,
a sheep raiser, with about 5000 head of fine
Spanish ewes, who has never been able to
take newSpaper-dOn't go much OH news
papers any way. Now about month
ago a gentleman rode mp TO our friends

said proprietor soon mode his appearance.
and the hOrSeman made known his bust
Mesa wool buyer. The wool grower
being little short, he readily bit at tlls
offer of twenty-SiN cents per pound for the
whole clip, especially as he was paid $500
down. The men separated, each satisfied
with the bargain they had made. A few
days after our sheep man felt sheepish
enough when he found he had Tinlersold
the market from twelve to fifteen cents per
pound, making a difference to him of at
least $4,000. Wool had risen, bat he was
entirely innocent of the fact. The small
sum of five dollars per year in newspaper
would have saved him this loss.

The finger shots that followed, by Mr..
DAILY, were of very extensive variety and
admirably executed. The unanimous opin-
ion of the audience was that DAILY could
play billiards and carom marvelously well
without 4 cue. The closing feature Of
this part of the entertainment was finger
shot and carOm on five balls in a
line close together. The American four
ball carOm game followed, between
Madam GARNER and Mr.. DAILY,
and this was succeeded with fancy Slots by
the former. Mons. GARNER exhibited his
fancy shots, running balls along the cIIsh-
ions, off the table and caroming on balls on
the floor and making the most difficult
caroms on prescribed curves and at q great
variety of angles. The exhibition then
closed with 500 point French carom game
between Mons. GARNER and Mr.. DAILY.
