Billiards..
Ninth Night Of the Tournament.

At 7:3O last evening there were few ad-
mirers OF the "balls and cue present az
the Crescent Hall Club Room, to witness
the contest between Maggioli and Hoa.
From the play, Frank, the "irrepressible,"
seems to nave let completely down, his
execution being such as would not do credit
even to a tirst-class "scrub." For at the
Saith inning Maggioh was Sc points in the
lead; but the sturdy albert kept COOL
and by several "doubles caught up with
Frank, and evidently got him "rattled," for
the latter only scored points in IL innings,
his already increased score.
The victory gained in the 55th inning by
Mr. Hoa is a most creditable achievement,
and it is now an almost foregone conclusion
that Albert will get one of the prizes, as he
has only lost two ont of six games that he
has played in the tournament. Below is
the
SUMMARY. .
Two hundred points up, French caroms,
played on a 5xlO Griffith, between Maggioli
and Hoa, won by the latter in IS innings by
a score of 200 to l73 Time of game, hour
and Is minutes.
Largest runs-Hoa H. Is, "a, %; Mag
gioli, IA, Is, %, SO.
Average-Hoa, 1858; Maggioli, 3 s-55.
Referee-A. Coste.
Four Bali Game.
The Miller brothers then entered the ring.
and after all preliminary arrangements
went in with a zest to secure the lanrels of
victory. John, the big "bud," started off
brashly and in innings put up 1879 points
to Henry's SO. But Henry knew John was
good natnred, and did not get nervous, but
pegged away, making several large
double runs, and in the l4th inning
chalked up 81, which sent HIM
ahead of "buddie" John, who nothing
daunted by a brilliant run added II to his
string, and then missed on an easy shot, but
little Henry had him down, and was deter
mined to beat him while he could. So,
coming boldly to the front in the 18th
inning, he punched the balls and squeezed
in good "a, which put an end to Johns
misery by score for Henry of 800 to 299.
Only one bet was offered, and that by an
uns. phisticated youth in the beginning of
the game, wLo wanted to put s. on John.
Subjoined is the
SUMMARY.
American caroms 800 points up, played on
the above table and at same place between
Henry and John Miller, won by the former
in the 18th inning. Time of game one hour
and thirty minutes.
Largest Runs-Henry Miller, "a, 81, 30,
35, 81, "a; John Miller, %, g. 80, II, sc.
Average-Henry, 20; John, 10 AIS.

The Bachemin and Wood
Duel.
How It Resulted.
49,,
Arrest Of The Parties.
Es,.ane of Two Snnctatnrs.
How It Resulted.
Arrest Of The Parties.
Escape Of Two Spectators.

The particulars of this affair are familiar
10 our readers, hence it is unnecessary to
repeat the details of the origin Of the dit
hcnlty. Suffice it to say that, after the ex-
change of shots, by which Mr.. Bachemin
received painful, but not dangerous
wound, and whilst the party were engaged
in discussing sumptuous lunch, Mr.. Sau-
cer, the Sheriff of the county. presented
himself and claimed the party as his
prisoners, for violating the laws of Mssis-
sippi, exhibiting sufficient force to execute
his authority. The dueling party sur
rendered at discretion.
The gentlemen arrested were the princi-
pals, Messrs. Wood and Bachemin: the sec
onds, Messrs. Whitney and Wilson and
Messrs. Montamat and Ramel the surgeons
Drs. Finney and DeBausset, together with
DR.. st. Cyr Fourcade, and two other gentle
men whose names we could not learn.
These parties were taken on hand car
to Bay St. Louis and arraigned before Cir
cult Judge Chandler, who refused to admit
the prisoners to bail unless they would dis
close all the particulars of the affair. Time
was allowed them for deliberations, and the
court adjourned to await their decision.
During the consultation two of the more
enterprising and daring members of the
party succeeded in eluding the vigilance of
the Sheriff and made good their escape.
Finding a freight train on its way to the
city, the two fugitives obtained passage, and
arrived here about o'clock last night. From
them we gather the foregoing particulars,
and learn, further, that the prisoners held
in durance vile had resolved to give no infor-
nation to the judge of the court that would
enable him to hold the parties implicated
amenable to- the laws of the State. The
Judge expressed his intention to stop the
custom of making Mississippi the fighting
ground for Louisiana duelists
AS usual in such affairs after the exchange
of shots, the belligerents approached each
other and shaking hands expressed mutual
admiration of each others, bravery, and
pledged their faith in their future friend.
ship.
The reporters of the press, Mr.. Wilde, of
the Picayune, Mr.. Knight, Of the Times, and
Mr.. Whitney, Of the Bulletin, immediately
after the shooting took place, left the
ground for Bay st. Louis, and on their
