Bat we must not forget that the "retrograde" forcing game. Jim in shot with which Mr. Little began his great run'of 186, was mas- terly in the highest degree and evinced a coolness of nerve and jnnnesa ot hand not to be surpassed. For that matter the eie- caUon of both gentlemen wis exquisite, and the only regret we feel la that both could not win. TEE SECOND MAT03 PLATED JULY 81. The evidence of the Interest which is taken In the graceful, kadthful and invigorating game of billiards, was demonstrated very fullyat the match game for the Championship, which took place on Thursday night, July 81, at Tucker'e Academy of Moslo, between Joseph W. Little and Daniel Lynch. At least five bandied persons must have been present, in eluding a majority of the best amateur players in the city and those who admire and' love the game, and who, from the time the first shot was made until the close of the game, watched unceasingly. It will be recollected that the same players had a contest in the same room en tho 12th of July—1000 points np, for $600. This game was won by Mr. Little on the 66ih run, he scoring 1002 points to Mr. Lynoh's 860. When this match was ended, considerable was said In regard to the luck attending Mr. Little throughout the game, It baying been stated that a fortunate icratch gave him an advantage over his opponent. Both men having their personal friends, considerable discus- sion ensued thereupon, and the result was that another match was made on the same,conditions as to the number of points to be played and the amount of stake money, with the addition that the result of thegame should be for the Championship of the Paoiflo Coast This match was nude to take place on Saturday night last, but In consequence of .Piatt's Hall and Tucker's Academy of Music bpth being engaged, it was post- poned until Thursday night last A great deal of money was staked on the result by parties on the outside, and as a matter of oourse, the lntensest Interest was manifested. The room was arranged aa before, a ring being formed, around which the audience sat, the table being In the centre, although the gal- leries and the stage presented quite a respectable gathering of lookers-on. The judges of the game were Messrs. Thomas Toynbee and M. Dillon, and Mr. Phelan aoted as umpire. Tho eoore was kept by Messrs. Geo. Phelan and M. F. Bntler, and Mr. George waters performed the arduous duty of marker. At the oommenoement of the game Mr. Little said he would like to put up . (200 on the result, one half «of which was immediately covered by Mr. Lynch. The other (100 was safely stowed away In a corner waiting to be taken. At fifteen minutes paBt 8 o'clock, Mr. Little having secured the blaok ball and the first play, the game then commenced In earnest, as the following soore will show:— IJXTIX LYNCH- fiM.Cbtmi.Tbla".

At the termination of tho game, vociferous cheering was the natural oodsequenee, and Mr. Little received the congratulations of bis friends. Mr. Lynch, however, nothing daunted, offored to play Mr. Little in his own billiard saloon, and would pet f600, to|450 that be could beat him (Little) Immediately, or would play him the samo game over for 82,500 on the succeeding night. TUb offer, of course. Mr. Little did not entertain at that time. Thus ended a most exciting contest—one which will long be remembered by thoie'vho bad the pleasure of witnessing It. . THE THIBD MATCH, PLATED AUGUST 2. The closeness of tho shove gamo gave the backers of Lynch reieon to believe that he could beat his opponent, and conse- quently 4 banter was mad* to play anothor game of 1,000 points, for $2,000 ($1,000 a side). This wss accepted by Mr. Little, and the matoh was made to come off on Saturday evening;, Aug..3, at the same place—Tucker's Academy—for the money, and. not for the championship, Tho number that assembled to witness this matoh was greater than we have ever seen before at a billiard entertainment in this dly; every available seat en the floor and In the galleries being occupied.' The Judges were r7. H. Lum and — Mater; Mr, Phelan acting as Umpire.' The score was kept by Messrs. Geo. Phelan and M. F. Butler, and the game was marked by Mr. Geo. Waters. Prior to the commencement of the play, Mr. Phelan, acting on the suggestions contained In the last Issue of this paper, rose, and requested the audience not to applaud any of the shots that were made, as It annoyed the players, and ft was at their earnest request that no such favor should be shown; he also asked that there be ho loud talking during the matoh; both of which reasonable requests^ we are glad to say, were compiled with. The playing commenced at twenty minutes past eight o'olock, and concluded in the neighborhood of 1 A. M., there being a short recess after the first 600 points were played, which took place about'half-paet 10 o'clock. From a glance at the score, we are forced to, the conclusion that the game does not add much lustre to the fblliUes of either gentle- man engaged. Little started out by making three misses, and Lynch only made forty points in the samo number of runs. On the fourth run Little made fifty-four points, and until the twen- tieth run, when he made sixty-four points, his playing was.very indifferent; and from that point in the game until the dose. Lit- tle played with no effect whatever; giving the clearest proof that he was in no condition for the work be had to do. The beBt run of the game Was made by Lynch, In the thirty-third run, when he scored 104 points, and this was done by nursing the two reds. The average number of points' made on each run was a trifle over nine. During the game Little mado thirty-two misses, and Lynch made twenty-four, and it required* 103 runs to make the game: So far as the sport is concerned, we must say we.regret lie match last reported was made. In the first place all the games heretofore, played have been perfectly fair and. honest This samo whs played forty-eight hours after the championship was aedded, and the loser on that occasion was the winner of the present, fairly and squarely too; but should another game be played and Little again prpve the winner, it would-Immediately be said that the thing was pre-arranged. AH these matters are, plainly speaking, run into the ground!. aud it would havebeen far better for all concerned, If, after the championship game had been decided, there had been a cessation of hostilities for at least ten days or two weeks. We bear it stated that the friends of Mr. Little are willing to back their favorite to the amount of $5,000, and at the shortest notice, which we trust will not be less than two weeks.

In the 2d innings, owover, the Stars did some of their tallest kind of batting, and scored nine runs; all but Henry seouring runs, Morrla and Chil- ton each getting 2. Morris led off with a home run.from a splen- did nit to left Held, and Kelly followed suit with anothor from an equally fine hit to right Add; and Waddle also secured one from a good grounder to centre field. They followed this up by Sain putting out the Besolutes for nothing, and In ue 3d lu- ngs added 6 more runs to their scoro, to one 'on the part of their adversaries, the total soore at the dose of the third being 44tol. At this period of the game affairs looked rather one sided, and most nines would have lost all hope of the game, but not ao the Besolutes. They knew that the Stars had.beaten thelx old .'rivals, the Constellations, the previous fortnight, by a soore of 84 to 4, and they were determlnod that It should not be re- .peatcdwith their nine, end so went on playing a good up-hill game, and met their reward in so doing by achieving a suocesa that entirely offset the ultimate defeat thoy sustained, Inasmuch aa they scored 15 runs In the last six innings to ton the part of tho Stars, tbe lead the latter obtained in the 2d innings alone, glving-them the game. ■ Had tho Besolute's nine been placed in the first innings ss it Was In the Ith and following lnnlngi, their opponents would not have done as well as they did. On the part of the Stars, Morris played behind capitally, catch- ing in tiptop style, and throwing well to bases. Chilton pitched well also in all but th,e last Innings, when hla opponents be- gan to hit him easier than before. Kelly tried his hand at pitching in the 7th Innings, but be bid not trouble his opponents as muoh aa ho generally docs, as they scored 4 runs in that innings. He is more regular than before. The bases wore splendidly played by Waddell, Galpin,' and Mitchell, Qdpin espe-i olally doing efficient service at 2d base. Morris took one fly Hp in fine Btylo out of three that he made, and Mitchell a lucky foul bound. ->Honry also made one good catch on the bound. But tho chief work lay between the 1st and 2d basemen, Waddell putting out 8 players si 1st and 2d on tho fly, and Galpin 8 play- ers at 2d and two from catches. Thompson marked ■ hla fielding wlthagood bound catch. Chilton also la credited with a well- taken ball on the fly.- In batting, Galpin led the score of the match, Morris being second," both getting home runs. - Ohllton, Mitchell aud Waddell also batted well for their scores, the latter getting a home run. On the Besolute side, McCntoheon's excellent fielding at short- stop was especially noticeable; he also took three balls on the fly Sin capita] atyle, and M. Bogers took 4, besides putting out two layers at 2d and One on the bound. Gowpertlkwalt' marked la play with the prettiest fly catch of the match,'and A. BogerB while playing behind, which he did better than his predecessors, took several foul bails very creditably. One ball that he caught as it bounded from the. dub house, before it bad touched the ground, was objected to as being against the rules of the ground, but the umpire correctly decided it to be a fair catch, aa it was, no ruleB at all being applicable in making It otherwise. Had the ball first struck the ground, and then been caught, as It rebound- ed from the house, why then the question of its being a rule of tho ground, or not, could have been brought in; but as it was,-lt was a fair bound. - Bogers' catch anyway put out 7 players on tips. The pitching of Taylor was effective, but he lacks command of the ban in delivery, being altogether too anxious to obtain speed. Stanton put ont five players st first base well, and Allan one on the bound while at 3d base, which he played well, as did Creagh while there. In batting, Wilson—who wss quite acuvaion the Add—took the lead, getting a home run from a good hit to right field, A. Bogers making the next best score. /Taylor was very unlucky, being finely put out at 1st base no less than four times, though he batted w«lL Cowperthwait also batted very well for his score, as did nearly all the nine. F. Crane of the Atlantlo aoted aa umpire, It being hla i&ut in tbe position, and we have seldom seen so many close points ao ably and Impartially decided upon, as in this match. He oer- Uinly discharged the duties moot creditably throughout. We uhonld llko to see the Besolutes and Constellations have a game together. The latter need to do something to redeem their pre- vious ordinary play, this season. The soore Is as follows :— BATTING. ___ RESOLUTE. his own wicket .Hudson, drossier, and Byron played exceeSlnflvt well; but the bowling was so brilliant that large scons ware oti?• of-the quostlDn.T-3'he innings closed for 64 mns.'betog^nine" more thin their opponents. The second innings pfj hg M sa n o h usetu eleven commenoodby In AUlne andBoblnson. Neither scored a run, which looked very unfavorable for'them; but Perkins and' Fle'tcher made a stand, for a white, and with the assistance of Joselyn and Burgees put on a score of 63, with the loss of six wickets, when the stumps were drawn, leaving Draper and Roddick In. On Thursday morning play was resumed, but the first ball from Ballllere sent Boddick bsck to the tent, after which Draper warmed up and played a good plucky Innings of 22, which came In very serviceable to his eldo. O'Brien made 11, when the In- nings closed for 83, leaving the New Yorkers 76 to get to win. They commenced by sending In Sharp and Hudson; the latter fine bat was caught afW'scorfng 4 only, whloh gave gnat confi- dence to the other aide, for thewiokots fell pretty fast . It appeared as If tho New Yorkers would have no show, as g> wickete were got for 11 runs, but Byron got a hold, and Steward a well-got 7; when CroaaleyJoined Byron, who wasplayingafme, steady game, but soon after gave a chance at point, which was taken, after scoring 14 from brilliant bowling, the field ably seconding the efforts of tho boilers; Hlgbam, with Croaaley, brought the game to a vary Interesting Btage, only wanting 28. runs to win. with three wlekots to fall; ■ These two seemed to - defy the fast, straight ones of both Martin and O'Brien, and the hopes of the New Yorkers began to rise, when Croaaley run him- self ont in the most absurd manner possible. At once the Mas- sachusetts stock took sn upward . tendency, ' Parkins .Joined Hlgbam, who played with great Judgment getting.' runs that brought the exdtement to fever heat Parkins .played a ball into Boblnson's hands, whloh that gentleman determined to hold, having done the same for Sharp, Hudson, and Byron. Horton, the last man, filled the vacant place. Hlgbam played a bull to cover point whloh was beautifully: stopped' by Burgess,'. and Horton was run out through not breaking ground, and the Massachusetts eleven won the match by 9 runs. The Adding of the Massachusetts men was a great Improvement upon their previous matches, while the bowling was never surpassed In this country. Mr. Bbarp, In presenting the ball, took the opportunity to thank them for the kind manner in which they had been treated, and hoped these annual matches would be continued, Mr. Frank Crockett president of the Boston dub, on receiv- ing the ball, said the Now Yorkers had won the three prevjeui: matches, but now the tables being turned, he hoped it would be" the means of these 'Interesting matches being annually played. He assured the New Yorkers that the. kindly feelings expressed^ by his associates were heartily reciprocated by all or thexor Three oheers were then proposed and given for the umpires,' thus acknowledging the correct manner in which they had performed their onerous duties. • ~ "• In this matoh, Steward scored 80 on the Massachusetts side, be being one of the New York deven in this last gamo. On August 37th and 28th, 1861, tha third contest took place, on the New - York grounds at Hoboken, the result being a still greater victory for the New Yorkers; whose soore in their first innings exceeded that of their opponents in two by 26 runB. In this match Hud- son scored 10 and Wllby 39, Bbbinson getting a total of 89 on the Massachusetts aide. It will be seen that New York lost in this match with, one of the.best teams that they have presented in any game of the series. The contest of last week was characterised, by a great deal of the right kind offeellng that should exist among all our dubs, and the New Yorkers express themsdves aa highly gratified with the result of their, late visit not begrudging the loss of the ball to such-worthy opponents, In the least The following is the score :— s, ' MASSACHUSETTS.

When the schooners, that had been drawn to tho Baltloby the dgnals of distress, had ap- proached as noar as It was safe to do, it became necessary to attaoh hawsers from tho steamer to the schooners. This was a perilous undertaking and volunteers wero called for to enter tho 'first boat ^ Richard weddlo.of the Enterprise- Club, and Corporal in Company B, at once stepped forward, and was the first to enter tho boat and after tho hawser had boeh attached, he captained each boat load'to the sohooner and back, being assisted by a member of Oo. F and one of the sailors of the ship. He had but his pants and Bblrt on and of course was. soon wet. through, bat for four hours ho oontlnued.to render all the,aid in his powor, and only rested whoh there was no furthor need of hla services, and after that was at work all xflght assisting to throw overboard the coal with others of tho 13th. This Is but an in- stance of many that we could otto of tho indomitable courage and determined , energy of our ball players in cases of emergonoy.

Continued from page 176, FOREIGN DRAMATIC AMD SHOW . Edward Qlovannelll, the spirited proprietor of Highbury l Bara,'- Islington, London, wss to nave his annual benefit this year on c the 1st Sept At his establishment the Intrepid Leotard, the - daring Female Blondin, the great Mackney, the wonderful HI- , Usee Brothers,' the Elliott Family, Hptohlnson's performing dogs, etc., are among the principal attractions. Speaking of the Female'Blondln, we may now mention a terrible accident whloh was not generally made known at first; out of regard to the, local interests of Manager Glovanndli, but does no harm In this' country. It appears thai, on tbe 13th Aug., shortly after 10, P. M.,. The Female Blondin ascended one of thestsges connected with the rope, which is about 100 feet in height, and by the light of' blue' fires, and attired in a suit of arih'oT, proceeded on her per-; lions voysgo In mid dr. She reached the Eastern stage in safety, 1 and again returned, performing the feet of wheeling the barrow, a third time. She crossed tho rope covered with a sack, and then oommenoed her And tour to the starting point In the midst of fireworks discharged from each end of the balancing pole she carried In her hands. She arrived within about twenty feet of the western stage, when the revolving fireworks at each end of the pole had reached their greatest velooity, and at which moment reports were heard, and stars of various hues were emitted. 'At. this instant it was plainly observable that', there was, a fearful osculation of the pole, as well as of the unfor- tunate performer. A general ory was raised that she was falling, .' the pole fell from her grasp, and the performer toppled over. ' for a moment she appeared:'to cling to the. rope either by her, feet or hands, but, whethor from fright or otherwise, In another second she was seen descending head foremost into the midst of the lofty trees boncath her. Tho scene of horror and consterna- tion, may well be imagined, and hundreds rushed to'the spot where tho poor performer lay at thcifoot of the tree, doubled up ' and apparently lifeless. Cries for medical aid were raised, and ' it fortunately happened that there wero a number of surgeons, . who, as parochial officers of St Fanoras, had been attending the . dinner given at Highbury Barn at llio doeo of the day's pro- ' oeedlngs. The unfortunate women was carried to an apartment In the'hotel adjoining the theatre, where, upon examination by :. the medical man, she was found still hllve, but her countenance, pulse, and respiration wore at onco a production of very serious : Injury being sustained. In a short timo she was restored to : oonsolousness, and by the direction and under the superintend- ' en oo of the medical gentlemen, was oonvoyed to a sleeping apart- ' ment, whore a moro complete examination was attempted to be made, but her sufferings were so ooute, that in consultation : with her own medical attendant, Mr. King, of Highbury, who ' had by this timo arrived, it was considered advisable to aDorr ' her to reposo for some hours,' carefully watohed, and.an, ' arrangement was mado for an early morning consultation. In the meantime the greatest eioltemoht as to the fate of the un- fortunate but intrepid woman prevailed. So much so, that ' although Leotard's performance had commonced in' the- great hall, hundreds still romnlnod In tho pardons, making earnest in- '■ qulries of everyone who oamo out of tho building into whloh she - had been conveyod. ' A second catastrophe was also feared, with' regard to Leotard himself. He had gone through a portion of his performance; When eome one IndlscraUylnformed him of. . what had happened. In an Instant ho booamo llvidly pde, and becamo so unnorved that tfas hoxt bound ho mado he missed tbe np ot tho handles of tho centre trapeze, but caino bounding on le padded platform on to his foot amidst the applause of the . audlonoe. It 6 stated that the proprietors had a foreboding that.' iewould be dangerous to sscond tho rope In consequence of Its. wet and slippery condition; but, without success, endeavored to-, prevail upon tho Female Blondin to rollnquleh hor performance... On the morning of tho 13th, a consultation of surgeons mat at. . Highbury Barn, and it was discovered that tho chief lnjuryto-; the Female Blondin le fracture of the neck of tho fomur (thigh. , bone), but thero arc others, She was Bonelblc, and. at Tier owtu , roqueat has slncp been removed to St. Bartholomew'a Hospital,..' where eho was to remain ah inmate until some Improvement;. should take plade whloh might justify hor removal. Quite damper on the gay old Highbury Barn. ' '" Miss Ellng^ortb, a young English lady, has made a sue first appearance at the Conservatoire, Brussels.
