tenseIheat, attracted large attendance of specta
tors, chiefly drawn thithcr by the TACT that the
game to DO played was OF the most singular mpor-
lance In the result TO be attained, matter which
OF the two contestants succeeded in grasping vic
tory. Messrs. Maurice DAILY, Joseph Dion. Francois
Ubassy and John Dcery had each played
their full quota OF games. DAILY had won
four. Ubassy two Joe Dion one and Dccry
none. Daily had been defeated once, Ubassy three
times, Joe Dion four times and Deery five times.
The contestants yesterday were Cyre Dion and
Albert GARNER. GARNER had won four successive
games without sustaining defeat, Cyrile Dion had
won three, lost one, and, II he could sue
coed In conqnerlng GARNER, he would make
triple tie by scoring four games, equal
ling GARNER aud Daily. II GARNER could have
defeated Cyrtic yesterday he would have defeated
all his antagonists and have scored five games.
The game was therefore OF immense Importance,
a. 1t would determine whether Garnicr should be
at once the champion OF the world. or whether
Daily and Cyrille should have another chance for
the honor by playing or the ''tics." AT three

and cx-champion, Mr.. M. Geary, who has had the
practical management OF the tournament, an
nounced this position OF the players and the result
to be determined by the game about to be COM
menced. He then said :-"With reference to hiss
ing and other demonstrations OF disapproval by
the audience against player when the player
makes miss for safety desire to
say that such disapproval is very wrong.
The HERALD Is right, quite right when
it characterizes the action OF men in Missing a
player as being unjust and altogether improper.
II players ball is in such position that he can
not count IS his policy TO play safety and the
audience should uphold HIM. There is no reason
why q man should play to count when it is i'm
cerqed they entertain no animosity and do not de-
sire to take Unfair advantage OF each other and it
Is to be hoped and expected, therefore, that there
will be no more missing done" lApplause
Messrs GARNER and Z. Dion then stepped into
cnoice In banking Tor the lead, and il was evident
that, though both men meant to do their utmost
CyriiIe missed scoring or the spot, and GARNER
took charge OF the balls for 4. Cyrille made i,
and missed and Albert played nicely for s. Both
balls as safe as possible after play, and the game
looked ike slow one. There was brilliant
