1.-THE

Many of our readers will remember
Shafer, "The Grasshopper," who beat
Tony Craker in a match game of bill
lizards in this town about q year ago.
We copy from the New York Herald
the following account of a match
which he recently played in New York
with Daily, the great billiardist:
The stranger won the string for lead
and made 3 points. DAILY followed
with a miss, but on his third inning
took iii II points, which somewhat
overcome Skater, who, though he made
some very pretty shots, failed to make
over 3 points at q time before the
eighth inning, when he scored IA.
Daily made Is on his sixth and l6 on
the ninth inning, Shafer still Ilaying
poorly and with bad luck. The game
stood at the close of the tenth inning
sHAFER %, DAILY 1870,
And looked very much one.sided. 1t
looked more so at the end of the next
retiring on a ''push" shot. On his
points to 3 for DAILY. Shafer opened

nice play on the side cushion. They
got away from him and in bringing
them back they froze on him at IS and
he failed from the string. On the fol-
lowing inning he Won a great deal of
applause, which he earned by splendid
play. He showed his knowledge Of
keeping them against the rail, making
good draws and masses, out Of which
he took 70 on the end cushion, after
which he turned them to the side and
ran them half way up for l25 points.
He led them gently on to l42, when he
was obliged to scatter them. He kept
at them for 155 and missed a very easy
shot. This changed the tenor Of things
and Shafer became a great fayorite. 1t
seemed to affect Daily, who only made
3 on his next play. The game now
stood
sHArER 23l, DAILY 1911.
In opening the eighteenth inning
Shafer played for 80, when they ''froze"
and he missed. This left him with but
25 to make, while Daily wanted 4 OF his
second hundred. The latter added Is
To his score, and Shafer missed. Daily
did the same, when Shafer got them in
good trim and, with % points, am
within 2 of the goal. After several
bad plays on both sides Shafer finished
the game, making an average OF 12H.
BELLIaERENT DovEs.-The quiet of
lower Buel street was disturbed yes
terday afternoon by little unpleas-
antness among q number of tie female
residents ofthat locality. The affair com.
menced with a tongue contest, which
was followed by a fisticuff 0
ter, when the yanquished dove pro-
cured a pistol and took a shot at her an
tagonist through the side of a house.
She must have missed her mark,
however, as the building shows no
Indication of having been perforated
with a bullet. We understand that all
parties are under arrest, and doubtless
the merits and dement's Of the case
will be passed upon by Justice Beatty
tomorrow.
MACHINERY TO BE REMovED.-We
learn that the hosting works of the
old Phenix Mining Company are to
be placed on the Skylark shaft of the
X X Company. The work of tearing
down and re-erecting will be com
penced at an early day. The Sky
lark is eligibly situated for the devel-
opment OF a huge bonanza.
