NEW YORK. Jan. 2s.-The third nights
play in the billiard match between Jacob
Schaefer and Maurice Vignaux took place
tonight. In the first two nights Schaefer
made a total of 1000, and VignauX s35.
Tonight either party was entitled to make
the first 1,S00 points. although Vignaux
would have TO make 965 to enable him to
reach this desirable position. The COsmO-
poltan was again filled with
an immense audience representing the
wealth, culture and intelligence
of New York. Many ladies were also
present. Gossip was much indulged in on
the ultimate results of the contest. and not
withstanding the lead obtained by Schaefer,
very many were inclined to believe the
chances of Vignaux were unimpaired. At
$40 p. m. Vignaux entered the room. He
seemed cheerful and satisfied. Two
minutes later Sehaefer came in. and at SIS
p. IN. Mr.. McCreery, the referee, made
his appearance. Schaefer led off
with a duck egg. Vignaux made
32, while Madame Vignaux smiled
approvingly from the eyrie seat in the gal
lery. Then deftly and with great tender
ness of touch Schaefer played all the bill
iards he was worth, including two magnifi-
cent masse shots for a run OF "a. slipping
up on misscue on a draw shot, otherwise
easily made. Then Yignaux manipulated
the balls so successfully that 80 points were
added to his score. Then Schaefer made
35 and missed on an apparently easy shot.
Vignaux made 4 and
sCHAEFER MADE NOTHING.
Then Vignaux, by number of beautifully
made cushion and kiss shots. by playing
alternately oil the red and white ball and
the cushion. keeping without the balk line,
made 65. The score at the end of the
eighth inning stood: VignauX, III;
Schaefer, l34. In the fourteenth inning
Vignaux made the shot of the match thus
far. The red and the white ball
stood on a line with the spot wig
naux0 ball, which rested on the upper
left hand corner of the table. The
other two balls were opposite the right
hand rail. Vignaux played on the white
ball in front, ran down TO the lower cushion
and twisted upwards and backwards to the
red ball on the right-hand cushion. The
play elected much enthusiasm. Another
shot ''Englished' against the cushion.
which made complete 100 points in this
inning was received with much applause.
Vignaux finally retired, having made 1876.
At the end of the fourteenth inning the
strings showed that Schaefer had made 207,
| Vignaux 346. From that point on SchaefeT
played rather tame game. With a spuri
of effective work in the twentieth inning
he made 73, in the twenty-seventh 100, and
in the thirtieth 7s. VignauX. on the othel
hand, after putting together 80 in his tif.
teenth inning, made no very large runs; mol
did he make many small ones. The result
was that with a stray succession of double
figures he managed to amass 91S button!
when Schaefer reached 600 and the night
play ended, leaving the Frenchman yer!
near his diminutive opponent. The total
for the three nights now stand, Schaefer
