This, from the Spirit of the Times,
will be of especial interest to billiard
players who are familiar with Joseph
Dion's brilliant career with the cue:
Joseph Dion, the popular billiardist, is
still in the excellent asylum at West
port, Conn.,, perfectly we'll in body. and,
of course, unconscious that his mind is
diseased. The De Lacy fund, which
has maintained him comfortably, was
exhausted two monies ago, and a series
OF billiard benefits by professionals and
amateurs to recuperate the fund Is be-
Ing arranged nnder able management.
We think that the dramatic profession,
In which Joe Dion had MANY friends,
and for which he was always ready to
volunteer his services, ought to back
the billiardists by theatrical benefits
here and in Canada, where he was best
known.
