There was considerable amount OF preliminary
business before Messrs. GARNER and Rudolphe got
to work last evening. The nrst discussion was on
the question OF referee, and after several names
had beer mentioned the players agreed to accept
Captain Reeves. Mr.. Delaney oficared as Judge
for GARNER and Mr. GuilletJe for Rudophe. The
game was announced by Chris. O'Con-
nor, and at twenty-five minutes past
eight play commenced. The seats in
the house were pretty wen nlled, and
tolerable sprinking OF the fair sex scattered
through the spectators. There was considerable
betting on the game, GARNER having the call at
about 100 to so. A few minutes elapsed before
the players selected their balls and at last, all
preliminaries being arranged, they strung for the
lead, and fortune favored Rudolphe. Thas great
FRENCH PLAYER,
after very careful examination OF the worries,
started to work in his usual systematic STYLE and
showed that he had not quite forgotten the cunning
OF his trade by running 80 very neatly. GARNER
then made his debut, and, after playing several

with the balls IN heap before him. and he nursed
shots that brought the balls together each time
and lett an easy score. He finally missed rather
easy carom and added 80 TO his count. GARNER

Rudophe then commenced, and, notwithst standing
his assumed annoyance, proceeded to make one
OF the largest runs on record. 1t was not all
nursing, but good, general play, all around the
table, exhibiting great practice IN all draw and

On the thirtieth inning Rudophe again played
good run OF 27, whicn was followed by from
GARNER. Rudolphe tnen succee0ed In adding 20
to his score and GARNER put on his string. The
game now looked TO De virtually over, as Rudolphe
was about 200 ahead and only wanted IS to go; but
they did not appear to run ms way, as he played
half dozen innings not averaging 3. GARNER was
playing equally poor. but In the thirty ninth Ru-
dolphe commenced TO do little work, and play
ing carefully, rolled up 20. On the fortleth he
made and then ran ont on the forty-frst by
