Billiards.

There was not . very large audience last
evening ct Crescent Hall to witness the
final performance Of Mr.. DAILY, but per-
haps the threatening weather had some
thing to do with it.
The game was between him and Mr.
Frank Aaggioli, who received the odds Of Q
discount in 10 points. 1t was played for
500 q side, and won by Mir. DAILY by sew
eAty nine points in an hour and twenty
minutes. His total points we're 2e2, making
an average Of 10 q. his largest runs
being 26, II, l6, IL, Is, is, 40, 81, ID, II, q,
l3 and l6.
Mr.. Maggion did not play as we'll as
usual, making only l2l points, although his
average of 1929 was pretty tair for an
anna teur. His best runs were IS, IL, "a
and II.
The difference in the tablas-the ono used
last evening being five feet by nine-may
have had more effect ON Mr.. Maggioli than
he expected, as even Mr. Daly's play was
not mp to what he has usually thown.
The usual exhibition Of fancy shots BY
Mr.. DAILY followed and, We believe, 10 the
last New Orleans will Rave from him.
The following resolutions were adopted
BY the polioo jury Of the parish Of Iber-
vile, on Saturday, January 10, 1874:
Resolved. That it il With deep regret that

The Fire Record.

NUMEROUS ALARMS ATTEMPT TO BURN sTABLEs-
SLIGHT FIRE IN FOUNDRY,
Several alarms have been struck within the
last twenty-four hours, and last evening, it is re-
ported, several attempts to fire stables in differ
ent parts OF the city. At 9th and Kirkwood Sts.,
the attempt was successful and considerable
damage was done before the flames could be ex-
tinguished.
Later in the night, a second attempt to burn
the same stable was made, and this time the eff
fort seems to have been persistent from the
fact that parts Of the building had been first
saturated with coal oil, and other infammable
material. This stable is the property of expo
lceman Bacon.
Another attempt was made to fire the stable
buildings at 9th and Walnut SITS.
A reward of $500 has been offered for the
detection and arrest of the parties.
A slight fire occurred at the foundry of Stew
art a. Co., at Front & Madison early this morn
ing, but no considerable damage was done.

The Visiting Firemen,

THE PARADE YEsrERDAY-ESTERTAINME BY our
FIRE DEPARTMENT..
Yesterday afternoon, the visiting iiremen of
the Shif1ler Company, from Lancaster were es-
corted through our city by the Companies whose
guests they were the Washington, Phoenix,
and Fame The announced route Of parade was
strictly observed aud after the parade had been
finished the visitors were entertained with re-
past at the Washington Engine House.
During the parade, salute from Pusey, Scott
4 Co. factory was mistaken by the companies
not in line, "a part only of the Department
turned out,) for a fire alarm, and the engines
were soon in the street, while an alarm was
rung ont from the Water Witch engine house.
This alarm, however, had no effect upon the
procession which moved on as though the matter
was fully understood.
The company remained in the city until this
morning, when they marched to the City Hall
and after bidding the Mayor and city authorities
good-by paraded to the depot, and left for Phil
adelphia on the 0. 80 train They all expressed
themselves as delighted with the trip.

THE REPUBLICANS CONFIRMING TO THE COMPACT
New ORLEANS, Oct II
-Four Of the five Radical members of the Re.
turning Board of Elections have agreed to re-
sign to enable Kellogg to reconstruct the
board with two Conservatives and three
Radicals. This is the basis of the compromise
between the whites and Kellogg's party, and one
of the conditions of peace in future. Elk Gov.
Wells, the fifth member, will likely resign too.
If SO, we may expect quiet election, and If
not, danger ahead.
