Oon- buhai told him of Thereee'a romanuo dlspoalUon, and he worked upon It, pretending that one of the aaeallants waa left todlenponthep«Tement—a atorythe Commandant belleree, bntldonotlnthekeat." tnm reflection to reflection the Tlcomte arrived at the quee- tlon u to who oonld be Jeanne'a enemy, and the cause tor his bitter war upon her. "Qontian, lald Andre to blmaelf, "would never clearly eiplaln hlmeeU on that point He spoke vagnely about a oiuna and refaaed to say more. What crime? By whom com- mitted? Undoubtedly by tbat myiterious enemy, and by nitonl Induction I must bellere that this criminal seeks to appropriate Tbereee'a Inheritance." Then the Tlcomte oonTlnced himself that Randal's sole ob- ject In a hniTlad marriage waa to obtain noaseeslon of that ■oe Inheritance, or of a portion of It, and this Identity of pur- pose eToked renewed snsplolone. "Tbat Implacable enemy," he solUoqolzed, "who took such ptlas to break off my marriage Interposes no obstacles to one with the Baron. XsBandalln harmonious relations with Ibis myiterioua peneootor ?"

T Folkt This Is probably the first time In the hlstor; of blillardi, at leut of American blUlards, In which articles of sgreement have been drawn np for a chsmplonshlp match; and we are cunone to leam at whose snggeaUon the step waa taken In this case—whether st Bexton's or at Mr. Foley's, the latter repre- senting SlosaoD. Ths reuon that articles have nevtr before beendnwnnplneuctaamatehlstbat the nileeof theobam- , u.(iu.,u.w. .,~u., ,~vu.u. ^^.^..^^^.„ plonihlp are themeelTee snfflclent articles of agreement The stakaholdar eupeneded, or eren a referee oboeen for thie ee- make Sloaaon all the etronger. It also sbowa, nnlais It can be proven that the rule has been changed, that fair play forSloa- lon Is as much out of the question after be has pat an his money and bad It covered salt bia been often proved that It Is before there la any covering. Abaolataly, there cannot In this case be any nnfair play praoUeally, save Uuongb there being no game at all; for no artlclea of agieemant can bind a man to play a obimploniblp match on one table If the rales of tbat ohamplonihlp call for another. The case would be nn- fair onlv If Sloiaon should refuae to play on a SxlO, and Sexton should refaae to play on a 4Kx8 after he had chal- lenged Sloaaon to a game for a obamplonahlp that mnat ac- cording to rule, be on a Ubie, or otberwlse Is void as affecting that obamplonshlp, This leads up to a dilemma.' Any matoh that Sexton and Sloaaon play on a SilO table la binding npon ihem for the obamplonahlp, and perhapa deter- minative aa between them; but It le not binding npon any- body else. Other playon are not obliged to leoognlte It, and they may with propriety protaat against Ihe emblem being awarded In accordance with the verdict of the balls. As mat- ter or,fut It It cannot be shown that the rale as to table wae formally changed and poblloJy announced at the time, the em- blem, under the rulee, ein go neither to Sexton nor to Bloe- ■on. It reverts to the donor beciuee of violation of rule, This phase of thematter hid better be thoroughly understood ind treated of l>efore any farther progress Is made with the match, which Is valid only If the legal table is a 8x10. The 4>jxB table wai a favorite project of the H. W. CoUender Co. to render ouiblon-ciromB livelier and more mdnrable to the speo- taton. Ibe rule could not have b<en chinged without theknow- ledgeand eonsentot Ihe donors of the emblem, any more than Ihe donors themselves could change It, after the lonmament had began, without the consent of everybody Interested in the ohamplontblp. The Oollender Co. are the ones whoae poaltlon best Its them to determine whether this matoh Is or Is not a legal and valid one for the ctumplonshlp. If they ire not aware tbat the role haa been ohangea. Sexton wlU have to play on a l,>ixV or reeign the ohimpionihlp, or Sexton and Blosson will be playing a matcb that mvolves the obamplon- ahlp only as between thsmselvee, and tbat will not be per- manently condiulve even in that narrow view, Inaamnob as It doea not follow tbat because Sexton beats Blosson on a SxIO, or Sloaaon beats Sexton, that thefaame man would have won on a 4>ii9, which alone dominates the championship. Since the foregoing waa written the articles of agreement have come to hand: CuicAQO, Sept a, USl Article* of igTeemtnt between William Bexton and a. F, Slouon: We agree to play a match at curbloo-cirom billiards for tbe Colleodar trophy, tbe cbamploasblp of America and $1,(II>— SMOaalde—at Ihe above game, on a txlO CoUender carom-table, >;i-lncb Ivory bs'.b, UOpoInu, at Ceaual Mutlc-ball, Chicago, tbe evenlDg ol Wednetdar, Oct, M, IBS, to commeiice at H e'clocK.

CoUender 01 New York, who iball be fiaal stakeholder, when tbe niatcli ehall enough preliminary a[akehold.-r for him inbaving been named byBaxlon, It will be well if partlea who hereafter may at- I tempt to make a match will lace a leeaon from tbe laugh ao aulokly pot upon Bohiaforand Bexton, and the latter In par- oulax, A HBAW PORFBIT** Those who believe that Ylgnaux and Schaefer played for real money at the Academy of Music on June 11 laat, and that they an going to play In Paria for real money will be aallifled with one of the many reaaona Schaefer has given tor declining to defend bis nominal obamplonahlp aa against another American player. In The Chicago JnUroctan of Sept 71 he la repreaanted as saying: "I don't bolleva Blosson wanta to play me at all. I am hen, and will play SloMon a game of bllllarda for $S,000. I am nnder tt.OOO forfait to go to Parii and play Tlgnanx Nov. V>. Now, If Blosson's backermeana bu>lness, let him come forward and put up a forfeit of $1,000 In tbe hands of anyone he cares to aelect for a $5,000 match, and I will let my trip to Paria go by default and play Sloaaon," There can be no mittake about Schaefer'a having said thla, for In Tke TYnut of thla city of Sept 111 Its most Important ntter- anoe, to our mind. Is eohosd by Bexton, who. In an attempt to endorse tbe gennlneneae of the Paria "match," said that Schaefer has upa forfeit of $1,000 to play Tlgnanx. In TheSun of Sept 39 Schaefer eaya the aame thing, save in theuieof another word: "I am under $1,000 bonda to play TlRuanx In Paris, and will play him at every hazard." Nobody has sver doubted tbat this scheme will be pushed thnngh at every hazard. The only question la sa to whsther the French public wlllatand it and pay for it Itis a large sum of monsy to for- feit, $1,000, and nobody with eensa would expect Sobaefer or anyone elee to lose It At the Nune time, thfe Paria "natch" can be plaved as well In the Winter of IBM aa In tbat of 1883, and there Is therefore no need of forfeiting. But for Schae- fer'a own exceaalve geoeroalty as a matob-maker, he would not be In a poelllon to forfeit $1,000, It he could be made to forfeit anything at all. Tbe articles of sgreement which profeesedly had been signed on or before Sept. 1, wen repreaanted—while not venturing to name the entire elake or tbe Ume of plaving the "matoh —aa atteaUng that Schaefer had put up a forfeit of $S0O only, and that the remainder of the unnamed slake would be put up on Oct. 31. Schaefer has boon Imprudent In pnttlURUp a $1,000 forfeit when one.half of that is enouRh, For the flnt tlmo, the pub- lic onSept 31, tbrongbTAe IKorld of this olty, got an Idea from an ofBolal aoarcs aa to what it the atake In thie "metoh," In connection with an Interview with the alleged stakeholder, it was then ilated that "the stake la 1,000 francs a elde." Thla In round United States money la one thouiand dollan. Schaefer has been Imposed upon In being required to put np his entire atake a month or two In advance of the time (Oct 81) aet In the alleged artlclea of agreement for tbe depositing of the final money. Before any moro statements relative to this Paris "hippodrome" are made, Bohaefer, Sexton and tbe stakeholder bad better compare notea, ao as to Insure some- thing like uniformity. become plsy-orpay. It la alio agreed tbat the winner of the mitch ■hall pay all expeaaea Incurred In the arraiglng for the playing of tbe aame, and that be ehall take all the etike and surplns door- money.

WllLIlH BBXTO.V. 0. F. 8LOB80.V, per Tbomaa Foley. The final olauee, "or as amended by the players| at Its eon- oluslon," Is wile enough to drive a tally-ho coach and a whole cirena prooeealon through the match. There waa no neceeelty tor inaerting this simply to provide tor a SilO table; for that. If legal, had already been provided for in the artlclea of agree- ment Bnppoae Sloseon or Sexton should now claim that sev- eral rulee have been amended—that the table haa been changed, the number of points fixed upon (the May fiUiard Oue eald To be detatmlned at tbe oonoluelon of the New York tourna- ment," while the July Cut aaya 'To be agreed upon," aa'lf at some indefinite time, tbua ahowing that there had been noth' Ing done for nearly two montbs after the tournament), the eeleeUon of a flxlO Uble leeme to be a vIoUllon of the rulee of the opshlon-canm obamplonshlp.

He repreeenled to the backer of Sloaaon that «J'Ji^'" i^l"'!!?*'° ^<"* bad changed the rulefrom a 4)(x8 to a 8x10 table, and It appean that Mr. Foley took Sex- ton a word for this, with the qualification that If the change was made he supposed tbat there waa a record of It PracU- ^"l!?"'"^"'"'*' "^^^ be made without there being a record of It One of the fint thlnga done In euch a caae would rioa of gamaa. There will be no trouble If Sloaaon makee any snob claim; bit If Bexton makeait and telle the playen "not to forget It," the playen nay remember It, altbough It ia well known that there haa iMon no meeting of them ainoe tbe close of tbe tournament, when they assembled at the Columbia Boom to receive their prices.

It le probable tbat among the patrons or Hussey's room this scheme can be carried out without giving dlieatlsfaotlon; bnt It la to be questioned if It ehonld be emu- lated eliewhere. The reoaon Is obvious to those who are familiar with the record et the National Tournament of 1686, slnoewblob time, only onoe has a prize ever been offer- ed tor high ran, and that was qualfiedly given.
