INTERNATIONAL BILLIARDS.
Vignaux Defeated Cure in a Very
Backward Contest.

Vignaux's victory last night in Paris over
Cure was surprise to many Of the critics,
although there was no good reason to doubt
Vignauxs good form, especially after his
game against Sutton.
Play last night was rather slowing
nauxs highest run being 1875, and Cures
6S-compared to such brilliant execution as
was shown by Sutton Thursday night. Cure
led or but made only four. Small scores
by each player followed, and neither ap-
peared to have his stroke.
Vignauxs success was very popular with
the public, many persons cifnging to the
belief that he IL still the greatest player in
the world.
The result creates tie for yignaux, Cure
and Sutton. each having two wins, which
will be played off next week.
The attendance was a perfect Jam, many
being refused admtttaEce. The American
contingent was strong. including Maurice
DAILY, George Slosson, George Wheeiock
Howison Morningstar, Willie Hopper and
Saylor.
There is some gossip about Shaefer play
ing the winner II he receives a challenge,
which it Is hoped will occur. They will
play probably at the Nouveau Cirque In
April or May. Shaefer is very sore on the
Paris branch Of the Brunswick, Bake, Col
lender Company. His differences with the
manager on the question Of terms being
the cause OF his absence from the pres
ent tournament. Sutton will remain in
Paris some time.

TO JOIN A. A. q.
Western Athletes to Enter Fold for
olympian Games.

In view of the fact that the Olympian
games are to be held at the St. Louis expo
sltion in 1904, the Western Association of
the Amateur Athletic Union is making a
determined effort to have the athletes in
their district join the A. A. u, and devote
themselves to amateur athletics solely. The
rules Of the A. A. U. have not been en-
forced very stringently in the west. The
Western Association does not intend to
recognize what is colloquially known as
MISREPRESENTATION, and a man must be
either an amateur or professional
The board of managers of the western
division Of the Amateur Athletic Union, at
their annual meeting, held recently, issued
the following statement:
THE enforcement of the rules in regard
to amateur athletics is necessary, in view
Of the fact that in 1904 st. Louis will be the
world center of amateur athletics. We must
not have our athletics In such state that
those who enter from our division will be
disqualified, and our city and division be
without representatives worthy Of the
name"

A BIG STORE
Where You Can Get Anything You
Want Reasonably

E. S. Jones, the competent man.
ager of the Congress Gold Com
pany's big store, returned last week
from a months buy ing trip to the
markets of the East. Mr.. Jones
says he bought at least $4,000
worth of goods, which are now
coming in on every train, and are
keeping large force Of clerks busy
unpacking and marking the same.
1t is very convenient to have a
store where you can buy anything
that you want and not have to
hunt all over town for what you
need.
The Congress Gold Company has
just such store, and Mr.. Jones
sees that prices are lower than any
where else in the country, when
you consider the large variety COW
cred. It will take several cars to
hold all the new furniture that is
coming in for the fall trade. A big
line of fine crockery and cut glass
ware is coming and-we might go
on indefinitely mentioning the nice
things that are coming for this big
store, so we will not continue, but
will say that if you want to buy
something visit this store and see
for yourself, and you will see that
you can get what you want and
that the prices will compare favor
ably with those of any store in any
city in the Territory.

Examined the Leviathan

H. S. Lydick, a prominent min.
ing man of Pittsburg, Pa, left yes
terday morning for home. He came
here the first of the week with D. J.
Sayer of the Leviathan mine. He
represents Pittsburg capitalists and
on his return will make his report
to his principals, and if that is sat-
isfactory they will go in with Mr..
Sayer on the property and put up
their share of the money for the
equipment of the mine. There is
no doubt but that Mr.. Lydick is
we'll pleased with the mine, for he
stated to News-Herald man that
he liked the looks of the property
better than anything he has seen
in the country, and, with paying
gold mine on each side of it, he
feels sure that there is a great fu-
ture for the property.
