SEXTON DEFEATS scHAEFER.
There was general qualification when Jacob
Schaefcr and William Sexton were introduced, as
the meeting of the champion and ex-champion
looked upon as certain to bring about an exciting
contest. Every seat In the house occupied. and
the players cordially greeted. Sexton won the
bank and missed to his great surprise. Schaefer
neatly rolled up IT, and each placed to their credit
in the second essay. With an open shot or two

and varying the work with necessary open

added IS. and then. in his well known style.
Schaeer, by The rail and occasional open play sent
his buttons along %. Only slight rewards marked
the efforts of each in the next two innings; but
William fairly manipulated % in his seventh at

Schaeter secured l3 in his halt OF the inning. and
the call was-sexton i0G; schaefer. II. Indifferent
results followed. and 1t was one OF tho certain
things OF lite that lilly not playing up to tho

utmost ease seemed great stumbling blocks,
and thus the contest queerly progressed. True,
there was mucn excitement in the house, and ord-
nary shots simply electrified the audience. Cheers
and the call Of the marker was frequently
drowned. The eleventh trial produced fair work
for each. Sexton put together 80, and Schacfer
80. The hall during these runs was in great con-
fusion. Many OF the ladies held their hands over
