HARVEY MckENNA,
The Great Billiard Player, Well
known In This CITY, who Died Re-
Gently In New York

Gently In New York.
The Chicago Mems says that with the
death in New York the other day of Har-
vey McKenns, the billiard player who
became so well known in this city at the
time of his visit here a few weeks ago,
dies the game of billiards known as
straight rail" and the Neos continues:
The last two years McKenna had lived
a life of misery. Hereditary consumption
fastened upon him, and to its torments
were added those of inf1ammatory rheu-
matism. Travelling near and far, the
billiard player, without q murmur, pur-
sued his vocation, with the ever present
fear that. diving. he would leave penni-
less his wife and sisters. When men,
even his enemies, saw him forced to cling
TO the billiard table for support. and still
moving the spheres along with that new
er,ceasing click, click" all criticism was
hushed, and during the last year of his
life Harvey McKenns had as many
friends as there are lovers of the game of
billiards.
1t had always been a pet idea of VIM
CattOn's-wbo in 1884 had said that be

quently thought him to be without a

races, having effected a coup by which
he had SO, 500 to lose. A forfeit was
posted. the match to be played in Nov
ember. Through the death OF Mrs
Schaefer the game was postponed until
January next, and now the death of q
principal forever closes all argument as
| to the merits of the men.
Richard Roche, Schaefer's hacker. had
paid $500 for the postponement. Three
weeks ago. when he heard that McKenns
was dying in the hospital. he sent hin
word Take down your forfeit and
when you need money send to me-"
