"All the worlds STAGE" remarked tho mol
ancholy Jacques, and proceeds to carry out tho
figure. The quotation, trite as It is, seems
rather aptly to apply to few remarks noccssi-
tated by tho production Of 'Auro1a Floyd" at
tho Academy Of Music. We shall assume
without tho foar' Of contradiction that in TIM
drama OF life the experience Of ovory reador will
DO that tue Incidents Of that drama follow apon
| ono another conuectedly throughout, Or to
change the figure, tint tie most important sta-
tiona in lfes Journey are linked to-
geshor, it only by the footprints
which lead from ono to tho other.
It is fact, which every tny Of existence con-
1irmB by experience to tho individual, TINT tic
most unexpected changes in human Affairs are
Drought nbout by the sequence OF oyontB trivial
apparently in themselves, and yet pregnant with
Importance. These very trivial occurrencos l,ayo

BILLIARDS..

Another tremendous audience attended tho
billiard tournament at KinBabury Music Hall
nas evening, and there WAS a much larger
number Of Indies present than at any of the
previous, games. Tho best Of order waB main-
tanned from beginning to end, nothing being aaid
or dono that could offend the most sensitive
porson. The afternoons attendance was rather
slim, but tue management hnyo become used to
it now, md do not look for much patronage in
tho daytime. Tho tournament will not end b.
fore friday evening, and the moat exciting Of 1t
has yet to come. IT Mr. Foley or a1r. aoary
would endoavor to persuade the individual who
hns charge Of the hall to heat it up just little,
it would be source Of pleasure to those who
play and those WHO look on.
THE TwEHTY-rn1nD GAME
Of tho tournament, and tho last one In Which
George slosaon was to figure, was played In the
afternoon, commencing at halt-past 2 o'clock,
botweon him mud Ubassy. Dir, Michael Foley
actod as roforee. It WAS generally supposed
:hat the Chicago boy stood no show whstevor
70 win, against suoh an opponent, Whio tho re-
sult justified popular anticipation in measure,
It is mono tho less true that Ubassy had all lo
could do to carry of the victory, winning by only
so points. ; a briof description Of tho game will
suffice, as 1t did not attract general attention,
moro than ordinary notice. slosson led al
most to tho third hundred, having played a.
very atoady game from tho beginning. Ii soemod
MS if he had caught tho old man on ono Of his
bad days, and would dofcat him oasily, until
runs Of 81 md 60 wero put in on tie Trench sido
Of tho string, which put Ubassy about 100 in ae-
vnnco. He romained about that far ahead until
the last inning, whom slosson, who had few
points over 80 to 60, ran 81 in good atylo.
Ubassy then ended tho game. Following is tho

Was commenced at half-paat o'clock, between
Joseph Dion and John Dsasungor, and was tho
last but ono Of tho lattora regular series, A1r.
Tom Foley occupied tho reioroes chair. With
tho exception Of run Of 81 nndo by Dion in

ony somewhat by making "a through nursing,
and ending tho run by Il miss Of

together. Joo followed with IL, which
was tho last double figure run for ak innings.
In the seventeenth, tho game began to grow ill.,

CONTROLLER GREEN.

No public officer has within the past year
made greater shpwreck of his popularity than
Andrew III. Green. A year ago We were all
singing his praises as the man who, under the
wise guidance of Samuel J. Tilden, had forced
his way into the Controllers office, first hand
cuffed and then elected Connolly, and rescued
the treasury from the Ring, IN the inter
est of taxpayers To-day we print a de-
mand for his removal made by a
large number of men styling Themselves
refOrmers, and backed by charges which how
ever grave, are mildly stated, when compared
with the language used in public offices and
throughout political circles in the city con-
corning him. In effect Mr.. Green is charged
with leaving an average balance of six mil
lions of the public money in favored banks
for which they paid no interest with having
used the public money to hire lobbyists at AL
bany mainly to keep himself in place; with
willful neglect Of his official duty as a mem
Der of the Board of Assessments, and with
causeless delays in the payment of the just
debts of the city.
There is doubtless something of the ford
rhetoric of the professional politician in the
statement of Mr.. Green's offcnses and it will be
only fair to q citizen who has borne an unblem-
ished reputation, and an officer who, whatever
his present conduct. has rendered signal
service, in most critical times, to suspend
Judgment, until he can be heard. 1t may be said
at the outset, however, that the employment
of Mr.. Dexter A. Hawkins as a professional
lobbyist at Albany was most unwise, if not
unwarranted. Mr.. Hawkins is an unfit person
to represent the city authorities at Albany,
and it is not clear that they had right, out
of the public moneys, to employ any repre-
fatiV
