counts Of which will DO found below, were In
many respects remarkable, md proved highly
entertaining to those who witnessed them, not 4
few Of whom were latlios. When the tonrna-
ment is resumed, the elegant Exposition tnblo
Of the J. NJ. brunswick l. Dalke Company, which
has given so much satisfaction to the. playora,
will give placo to ono Of another manufacture,
the contract which tho managers entered into

lowed equal representation.
THE THIRD GAME
Of tho tournament was begun at half-past /
o'clock between Cyrillo Dion, OF Now York, and
George Blossom, Of lhla city. Mr. Michael Foley
was tho rcforco. It was conceded even by Slos-
son himself that he stood but a poor show OF
winning, but he uudorostin1atod himsolf. The
first 100 points of tho ganle, Vowed as a
contest between players Buppoaod to possess
about equal skill, WAS very unintereatng, Dion
having it all his own way, but as an exhibition
Of billiards on tho part OF tho visiting playor 1t
Was well worth seeing. In tho first quarter OF the
match Dion made four doublo-flguro runs, rtng-
ing from 10 to q, aud. while hoing favored with
good breaks, played generally with that grace
: and precision which is peculiarly his own. sloR-
son played yery poorly Mt tho commencement OF
tho game, hut he improved ns it progressed, and
ut times played remarkably veil. In tho Eighth
tuning he made 81. and in tho fifteenth and Rix-
teanth II md Is respectively, which placed him
On pretty ovon torms with his competitor. who,

ty-1rst inning, completely took tho wind out OF
his sails BY cleverly oxecutod run Of 49, which
developed oil his features Of nursing and playing
for position. The run brought him around the
corner and .pnt him ahead Of Dion, tho score
standing LAS to 115, and subsequent runs OF q,
II, aud II still further improved his chances Of
succoss. Dion knocked out an occasional
double-hguro run, but he played in bad
to be In harmony With tho game. His
