Another tremendous audience assembled in
hs Auphitheatre last evening to witness the
second game Of billiards IN the series arranged
between Ubassy and Bessunger. The conditions

lside Mr. T. q. Cowles, editor Of the Western
Sporting Gdzetle, was chosen referee, and per
ierrned the duties incident to the position 80 as
10 give satisfaction to all parties. The umpires
xsre the same as in the first game-Tom Foley
lar Ubassy and George Morris for Bessunger.
The match was commenced shortly after 8
o'clock But few bete were offered and these
~ere at even figures. Bessunger won IN
banking for the Lead, aud selected the
white ball and here it is proper to state that no
time was wasted, as in the first game, in choosing
set Of balls, and no objections we're raised
against the set first produced, because they were
turned yesterday for uso in the match. They
rolled perfectly true throughout the game. Bes-
sunEer started st his best gait, and played with
confidence in his power that seemed born Of
bis recent victory. His first inning resulted in
= run Of s, which Was styGshIy made. In his
third inning he put IA together in similar man
ue1, making the most difficult round -the-table
ehots NTH perfect sccuracy. In his eighth in
ring he added 18 to his score, the run being beau
tifully executed and ending in na1row miss In
the succeeding inning II we're made, and the
friends Of the player very naturally began to e1-
press themselves hopefully that he would
best the great Frenehmar, and ahow
IN even string. 'Ubassy did not play
up to his mark in the commencement Of the
game though his exhibition was far superior to
what it WAS in tho first part Of the first game.
n twelve innings he barely Fncceeded in keep
performance was q run Of Is in the sixth inning,
in which a number OF strange position shots
were made with marked success. The customary
'close share attended his last shot. In the
With Is, both runs exhibiting marvellous precis-
ion in draw and cushion shots. The second OBJ
3act ball was made to go just wherever the play
e1 wanted it, and, as for tie first one, it per-
formed it's part like q machine. In his thir-
teenth inning be gent ahead Of Bessunger
Ut the front to tho end. This sudden
change in the relative positions Of the strings
eerioualy affected Bessunger's plhy- he exc
cutea NTH Indifferent success, and met with con-
kisses for q long time. Iu thirty-hye innings
bis largest run was only IA, and he made many
serious misses. He showed plainly enough that
be cannot be relied upon in a stern chase.
1estoniahment Of the spectators at nearly every
shot. In the eighteenth inning be turned his
first hundred in magnificent run Of 49, and from
TINT point On continued to make double-fgure
runs whenever he felt so disposed No such play-
ing was ever Witnessed here before and it would
be utterly impossible to give description OF
It. The rules Of billiards. IS understood by Amer
1can players we're violated in the most astound-
ing manner. Shots that We have been accus-
toned to see made just one way by everybody,
