Sexton's Answer to Slosson's Challenge.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-The expected arrival in this city of Maurice Vignaux, the French champion billiardist, still continues to agitate the billiard experts. This afternoon George SIosson with number of friends called at the Clipper office in anticipation that the challenge issued by him yesterday to play either Sexton or Schafer before Vignaux's arrival would meet with 8 prompt response, but to his disappointment neither Sexton or Schaefer put in an appearance. Sexton has replied to Blossoms challenge in letter to the evening papers in which he states that Blossoms alleged losses on the Paris match in which the gate money was divided with Vignaux were not as large as he, Slosson, tries to make the public believe. Sexton also calls attention to the fact that Slosson forsets that he was beneficiary to the ex- tent of large sum collected and presented to him after his return to New York, and that he Sexton, lost fully $1, 900 on his trip to Paris, did not divide gate money and did not ask or receive any testimonial benefits on his return. For these reasons, and because he is champion of America, he claims the right to play Vignaux first. After this game with Vignaux Sexton says he will turn his attention to players of lesser calibre, includ- ing Slosson.

 Wilsonia are too abundant to admit of being very prevalent in this climate, we are calling special attention to this disease.
 Catarrh is essentially blood poison, and body. Personal experience, as well as many and neighborhood, prove beyond the shadow most successful ever adopted for the cure of Catarrh. It so changes the quality of the blood that the system throws off the germ of the disease, and is purified. We have not known one case of Catarrh, Dyspepsia, Con- stipation or Rheumatism to fail Of cure where the Appliances were worn as directed. We therefore give guarantees for the cure of these three diseases, or refund half the mon- ey, simply to get the doubting to try, for we know that none of them will ever claim the return of the money.
 Those who cannot pay all cash can pay one-h half, and the balance in easy install ments.
