BILLIARDS..

THE NEW STAR IN THE BILLIARD WORLD.
William Scxton-who las come into celebrity
since he went to Paris some months ago to
compete with the great Fignaux-was born in
Burlington, Vt, in 1854, and played his first
game i'll 1867, and shortly after that became q
roon-keeper, locating in various cities. In 1870
he played his first match with Charles E1lcr, OF
ALBANY, n Y, including the 3-ball and 4ball
game, winning both. The latter consisted of
1900 points, aud Sexton made runs Of III, 165,
24, 291, and 49,, making the astonishing 4-ball
average Of 1o7 2~14, his opponent securing alto
ccthcr but 49, points. After several minor
matches, he entered the tournncnt at Tamnlany
Hall during November Of Inst year, and at the
3-ball game defeated Slosson by 300 to 234, DAILY
by 500 to 237, and Rudolphe by 300 to 234, being
beaten himself by both the Dions aud
GARNER. Subsequently Vignaux won the
challenge cup and carried it with
him to Paris and It was decided that All Amer
ica,, player should be selected to 70 over and
win it back, il possible. Two good players were
named. Slossun and Sexton, and the latter was
tic choice. lie made the voyage, and on March
81 last he crossed cues with the great French
man at the Grand Hotel at Paris. Vignaux
won by GOO to $50, his highest run having been
1885, and his aye1age - 1l xb!is ssx!4m scn mas ni

The style OF his game is the very opposite OF h's

and care. Like Vignaux, he is strong at the
u3asse shot, hut relics more on the cushions TO

PHILADELPHIA, May 25.-Thc game this even

started slowly and continued unexciting
throughout four innings, in which Dion made

He drew them together at the lower cushion By

then kept them together in way that soon

BUILDING ASaQE1ATluSS.
The Philadelphia Ledger, speaking Of tho o.
fgin OF the mutual saving and loan associa-
tions, usually mlsnamcd building associations,
says:
The early Philadelphia societies were formed By
workmen who had no knowledge OF the wars and
mems Of carrying the society. but Ind obtained
reasonably clear ideas Of the ends to BIZ aimed ut.
They learned much'fzom their experience, aud any
mechanic, who now takes up the subject can obtain
from bnildtny association books and other pubica-
tlons the benefit OF that experience. II he asks for
cause to make successful association. even under
the personal guidance Of Philadelphia society otti
cials. The latter are eelfreliant, and. being 80,
are fitted for cooperate work. and ambitious to se
cure homes for themselves BY their own exertions.

they would still be renting houses or rooms, and
waiting for some one to come and tell them how to

The Loan Market Inactive..-Tax.
Fighters as Borrowers.

THE LOAN MARKET.

LITTLE ANIMATION.
The figures below show that there has been
more doing the past week, but the market is
without animation. Loan agents arc still in
clined to adhere to a conservative policy, and
eVince but little disposition to lower the rate Of
interest. Parties wanting renewals must hare
u clear title, free from tax-Ishting tactics rs
we'll as more serious membranes, or they will
not be listened to, Taxes must be paid up, and
would-be borrowers must prove that they have
never had any disposition to eyadc their obliga-
tions in this respect. Such is the ultimatum Of
those who have money to loan. No loans have
been placed the past week at 4 lower figure than
per cent. The prospects of the market
arc not very promising. some parties report
the commencement Of revival of business il,
the country districts, aud predict big inroad
on the stocks Of our jobbcrs within. few
weeks. But, even If this prediction be verified,
some time must elapse before its effects are felt
in every channel Of trade, and especially in the
real estate market, The fact is, everything is
at & stanlstill, partly caused by the confusion
in our City Government, partly by the tax-fght-
ing proclivitfes Of certain propcrty-oTncrs, and
partly By the stagnation in business which has
prevailed in the country tributary to Chicago
during the past winter and carly spring. Until
NIL these troubles arc removed, I'VE cannot ex-
pcct any improvement in the 1o3n market. nor
any prospect Of borrowers procuring money ut
