When Vignaux commenced his. third
inning he found the balls very stubbornly
inclined and succession Of the toughest
possible breaks, but no overcome them
with mastery power and kept on clubbing
out billiards. The balls stopped in line at
least dczau times, compelling him to
plsy masss and back shots. He proved
eqlal to every emergency and played as
il he would never stop. Altar a time
the balls grew more tractable and a.
one hundred and sixty he had hand
some balk line position at the lower
end OF the table and held it for l2 shots.
Then he changed to the side rail and
kept on. When he beat his own high run

He stopped at l9j an an eaey one cushion
shot. At Slosson's first shot the balls
lined sale on him and he missed. The
call was now Viguaux 200, Slosson 10l.
Vignapx made terrific draw, nearly
the length Of the table, for the opening
shot Of his fourth inning and stopped at
80 on an easy spread. Slosson had to 90
frsund the table, and he missed. The
French terror now cracked out another
big run, ms&iny his billiards as though
nothing could be easier. AT 90 he mar
rowly missed 8 simple nnasse. S!osson
could do nothing In his mex: two innings,
and Vignsux missed long one. cush.
ion shot with english, in his sixth, at the
end Of which inning the score was S37 to
III in his favor.

yignarv caught on agnin in his seventh
inning and pounded out s,me more stun.
ming billiards. There was very little balk
line in this rnn, but there was some ire.
mendous execution: There is nothing to
sayo this big run except that it was count,
count, count, all the time, with long drives
and short drives, draws, masses, forces,
follows, banks and all the known
technique OF billiards. slosson, who
saw 5000 slipping from his grasp,
stood by and watched his downfall with
a wan and hopeless face. When Yignaux
had finished the run OF ia he was exact,
ly 400 points ahead-bll to Ill. Slossbn
seemed 10 feel lighter heahednow that be
knew that he was beaten and In his
seventh inning played very preLtily until
he failed on long one cushion stroke and
left the balls in a huddle. Vignaux then
proceeded TO run out the game, having ac-
cOmplished the greatest record ever known
at billiards. The game occupied one hour
and tilty.fve minutes. The feeling now
is that Vignaux has underplayed in prac

greatest billiard player on earth.

THE SPEAKING.
This was fine audience for the orators
Of the day. The occasion and the audi
cnce were rare inspiration. 1t was
much regretted that Robert C.. Winthrop
was unable to be present. But his ad-
mirable Grafton was admirably read by
Governor Long, of Massachusetts. The
reading was frequently interrupted by en-
thuslastic applause. At one point
Mr.. Winthrop referred in complimentary
terms TO George Bancroft. The
entire audience broke forth in cheers and
the venerable white headed, white beard.
ed historian gracefully received the com.
pllment The Grafton Of Daniel was a
great and happy surprise to those who
had never heard him speak, and very few
OF those present had ever heard him. He
Is man of rare oratorial gifts, and he i'm
pressed and charmed an audience very diff
fcult TO move. Daniel is slender, has a
smooth shaven, classical face, rich and
pleasant voice and most graceful man
ner. Though his address was quite long,
II was listened to throughout with closely
interested attention, and was, from time
to time, vigorously applauded.
Taken all in all, and In view OF the un
favorable weather, the exercises of the
day were very successful, and q worthy
celebration OF most memorable event.

MIR. HENDRICKS AT YALE.

In his address at Yale yesterday Vice
President Hendricks said that the United
States Supreme Court was the greatest ju-

English court ii is not subject to the legis.
ative branch of the Government. II can
say 10 Congress that such and such action
is forbidden by the Constitution, and Con-
gress has TO submit But in rendering
such decision as that in the legal-tend
cases the court passed beyond the sphere
of ordinary judicial inquiry into the field
of fstatesmanship.
Mr.. Hendricks praised Justice Waite's
decision as to the relative rights of citi
zen under State and Federal laws, that
each must protect the citizen, but neither
could pass the barrier line laid down in
the Constitution.

try was completed in less than half page

DOWN WITH THE DUST.

There is no city in the United States so
favored as Washington with charming
suburban drives. Whatever road the
traveller takes, the scenery in the inn
mediate vicinity of the Capital is unsur-
passed in attractiveness and variety.
Woodlands, hills, wales, shady hooks,
babbling brooks, cultivated homesteads
and nature in her rougher and more
rugged aspects, are presented to the view
in all directions, while from many ele-
waited points of observation the broad ex-
panse of the Potomac beams silvery on
the sight like reflection from the starry
canopy of the milky way.
The drive most generally favored by
our citizens is out Fourteenth street and
the old Columbia road TO the beautiful
park of the Soldiers Home. Here, too,
thousands ofsummer visitors and strangers
are constantly attracted by the magnificent
grounds of the Home and the beauty of
the intervening landscape; but there is
one serious drawback to the pleasure of
the ride which ought to be obviated.
The clouds of dust encountered in dry
weather, after crossing Boundary street,
and from there on to the entrance gate,
arising from the continuous line of car
riages and vehicles passing to and from
the Home, or along other prominent
roads leading into the main thoroughfare
of travel, are discomfort and annoyance
to visitors which sadly mar the agreeable
ness of what is otherwise the most de-
lightful drive in the country.
If our District Commissioners would
cause the road from Boundary street to the
entrance of the park to be sprinkled daily,
they would merit and receive the thanks
of thousands of citizens and others, who,
during the season, drive out to the Sol
diers' Home. The expense would be but
trifle compared to the resulting benefit
and satisfaction.
Messrs. Commissioners, put on the
sprinkling carts at once, and for your long
life and happiness your petitioners will
ever praV. Nc

He pronounces the sen to be the great
source of human happiness-by. keeping
away from it, "For ten days" he writes,
(which seemed lustrum, the vengeful
sea smote me hip and thigh, pilloried me

II would be a pity to recall Mr.. Kelley
Just now. He ought to be given at least

nence should not be exposed to the temp
tation to commit 'salivary hari-kari."
