The tournament was resumed yesterday after
noon at two O'Clock, before far larger number Of
spectators than one generally sees at billiard
matinee. Nobody present regretted passing two
or three hours at billiard game when they wit
messed such an exhibition of skill as was afforded
them yesterday afternoon by vignaux and Others
In his match with Siosson the great French ex
pert counted 159 carroms in one inning, and with
outany very delicate nursing. The spectators were
electrified and greeted that wonderful perform
ance with rounds OF applause. The games were
all played on q 5xlo Grnishs table, fitted with De-
laney's wire cushions. During the afternoon the
champions emblem was on exhibition, and excited
universal admiration as chaste and elegant
piece OF workmanship. The first game was be-
tween Ubassy and Daniels and at seven minutes
past two the former broke the pas but Jailed to
score. Daniels counted 4, which was followed by
| from Unassy, and then the Massachusetts
champion rolled up 2S, which he followed on
the fourth inning by 90 On the tenth inning
Ubassy warmed up to his work and added Al to
his string. At the close OF the tenth inning the
game stood

Both men then played rather cautiously until
the twentieth inning, when Uoassv got the balls
| together and played q remarkably clever inning
for 104. Daniels appeared out Of play, and Ubassy
finally rolled mp 60 On his twenty-sixth inning and
won the game. The following Is a score OF the
