 Game He Let's Vignaux Pass Hin.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 29-Another great crowd of people filled Cosmopolitan Hall this even ing to witness the fourth session of the Schaefer- Vignaux match. Long before the game was called every nook and corner of the capacious hall was occupied and hun dreds were outside struggling to gain admit
 tance The shot left by Schaefer from the previous evening was by no means an easy one, as it almost necessitated a kiss off the cushion to count. It was known to Schaefer's friends that he had practiced on this shot all day, and they were not A little surprised and chagrned when he missed from the cushion and left the balls punched for Wig naux, who scored 15 from them In the third inning Schaefer put together 16 and had to retire through kiss out at the lower end of the table. Vignaux found the spheres we'll clustered inside the lower right hand corner and nursing them up the left hand rail he contributed 137 points to his string. Five were added to each mans score ill the fourth inning and then Vignaux came up with another burst of speed which netted him 60 points. His upset came about in 0 masse. The wizard seemed to have lost his grip on the worries and it was impossible for him to get beyond low figures. However his seventh inning brought him 60 caroms. He failed on a one cushion shot which was simple that even Vignaux joined the
 dience in laugh. In the ninth inning the Frenchmau by dint of some splendid
 round -the-table work scored 50 points. The eleventh inning brought little better luck | to the American, who rolled up 67 hard earn ed and we'll played points. In trying to hrir tha hv ma ba fai1 1n6 Vignaux scored S2 excellent points fer his
 part of the fifteenth inning and Schaefer fol-

 the table and stopped at 180. This brought Schaefer to within nine points of Vignaux. The next inning was an equally lucky one | for Schaefer, who hammered the ivo within two behind V1gnaux's play of the night. A foul was claimed by Vignaux on Schaefers seventeenth shot in the twentieth inning. It was allowed and the Frenchman went on scoring. The playing continued steadily until the twenty-second inning, when Vignaux added 91 buttons to his score. Schaefer followed with good prospects for long run, but on the thirteenth shot the referee decided that no count had been made.
