 ably the most remarkable exhibition of mere endurance

 walked 100 hours, with only a cessation of thirty-eight 

 minutes hi every twenty-four hour«, and he for thirty 

 minutes in every twelve hours carried an anvil weighing

—The National Billiard Congress for 1874, for the 

 championship of the United States, at the three-ball carom 

 game, 800 points up, each with two and three-eighth balls,was 

 inaugurated on Wednesday evening 4th instant, at Tam- 

 ilian v Hall, with Daniel E. G-avit, Esq., as General Man- 

 ager, Neil Bryant, Esq., as referee, and Mr. Knight as 

 marker. The lollowiafi players composed the contestants 

 forthehouois:— A. P. Rudolphe, Maurice Daily, Joseph 

 , Cyrille Dion, Maurice Vignaux, 

 d Daniels, George F. Slosson. The 

 very perfect manner, so that all of 

 crlook the game, and see every shot 

 The games were played on a five by ten 

 jtured by W. H. Griffith and fitted with 

 Delanev wire cushions. The table was gotten up in the 

 best style of the art, and was a credit to the firm. The 

 prizes— the emblem and $3,500 cash— divided into different 

 prizes, were presented by Matthew Delaney, Esq. The 

 Hull opened with a numerous and respectable audience, 

 which included many of the fair sex, who occupied a 

 promiment position on the platform. The game opened 

 with the Brothers Dion. Joseph Dion took the lead, play- 

 ing with his usual energy and nerve. Cyrille did not play 

 with his usual good fortune. Joseph Dion ran out in his 

 12th inning, his 'highest score being 106; his average, which 

 was 35, was unusual. The second game was between 

 Albert Gamier and A. P. Rudolphe. The latter annoyed 

 the. audience for some time by his refusal to play. The 

 ,ii: : ii cng adjusted, the game began. Both men played 

 well; the result was the.defeat of Rudolphe, who scored 

 180 to Garnier's 300, which was not distasteful to the 

 audience. The second day opened at 2 o'clock in the 

 afternoon, with Joseph Dion and Daniels of Boston. Dion 

 won the game in the 26th inning. His best runs were 30, 

 43, 05 anil 76. Daniels, 14, 20 and 43. The game closed 

 with a score for Dion of 800 to Daniels' 117. Average- 

 Dion, 11 7:13; Daniels, 417:25. The next game was be- 

 tween Maurice Daly and Slosson. Daly ran out in his 14th 

 inning. Highest runs— 26, 25, 45, 61, and 96; Slosson, 15, 

 18 and 19. Daly's average— 31 3:7; Slosson, 5 11:13. The 

 evening session proved by the large attendance the interest 

 tlmt was felt by all lovers of the game. It opened with 

 Gamier and Daniels. The latter played well, but was no 

 match for his opponent. Garnier's highest runs, 24, 25, 30, 

 73; average, 9 3:8. Daniels' highest runs, 32, 28,40; 

 average, 5 11 :32. Next in order was the game between the 

 new star, Vignaux, and Ubassy. Vignaux is very easy and 

 graceful in his manner, and is very brilliant in his shots 

 around the table; but in this tournament he will find foe- 

 men who will contest his advance for the championship 

 inch by inch. TJbassy played with excellent judgment and 

 skill, but Vignaux proved too strong for him in this game, 

 he bavins made 300 points to Ubassy's 223. Vignaux's 

 highest runs were, 30, 35, 36, 43, 68; average, 14 3:7. 



Ubassy's highest runs, 26, 44, 88; average, 11 1:20. On the 

 thiid diiy the game commenced at the usual hour in the 

 afternoon, opening with C. Dion and Rudolphe. Dion 

 played with marked effect and scored rapidly — ending the 

 game in 33 runs. Rudolphe made a mark for himself in 

 disporting a shot that did not. count, and caused an un- 

 pleasant feeling towards him by the audience. Dion's 

 highest run, 73; average, 14 2:7. ' Rudolphe scored but 117 

 poiuts in this game. The next game was between Vignaux 

 and Daniels. The latter in this game made some very 

 difficult shots, which the audience appreciated. He made 

 but 175 points when Vignaux closed the game, but did not 

 play as strong as usual; his highest, run was 98; average, 

 12 3:3. The evening game opened with a well filled house, 

 and a representative, one, The contestants were. J. Dion 

 and Slosson, who made excellent efforts to defeat Dion, 

 rolling up a well fought 54; but when Dion closed the 

 game his count was 183. Dion made the largest run, 111, 

 that has been made thus far in the tournament. Dion's 

 highest run, 111; average, 15. Slosson's highest run, 54; 

 average, 9 3:20. The next in order was between Daly and 

 Vignaux, two worthy knights to be tilted against each 

 other. Both made many superior shots, but failed in 

 counting several limes, which a very tyro might have made. 

 The game was won by Vignaux after a verv exciting con- 

 test, in which the audience manifested intense interest. 

 Vignaux's highest runs, 41, 36; Daly's highest runs, 53, 60. 



The fourth day, Ubassv and Daniels opened play, the 

 former winning by 300 to 104, His average was 13—13, 

 and best run, 101, obtained by some beautiful caroms and 

 careful "nursing." Daniels' highest run was 38. The 

 next game proved noteworthy, from the fact of its being 

 marked by the highest run of the tourney. The contest- 

 ants were Vignaux and Slosson, and despite the up-hill 

 work, the Frenchman gave the Chicago champion to do, 

 Slosson rallied with such spirit as to give Vignaux quite 

 a shake up. The score at the close of the 6th innings, 

 stood at 174 to 12 only in favor of Vienaux, and yet he 

 won by 300 to 375 onlv, Slosson makins'a pretty rallying 

 run of 88. The best' average was but a little over 11. 

 At night Joe Dion defeated Daly by 300 to 360, a beauti- 

 ful run of 150 being the feature of the Canadian's play, 

 while Daly's best run was 08. The average did not reach 

 13, despite the large runs. The last game of the first week's 

 play was the contest between the two French experts, 

 Ubassy and Rudolph, who neither specially distinguished 

 themselves, the best average not reaching 8. Rudolphe 

 won after a lengthy contest by 300 to 396, Ubassy tripping 

 up on a run of 34, when he had the game almost in his 

 bands. 



On Monday afternoon — the fifth day— three games were 

 played, Cyrille Dion defeating Daniels by 300 to 138. The 

 average was small, the winner's game being 7:9, and 

 the best run 58. Then came the defeat of Rudolphe by 

 young Slossou, the latter obtaining a winning lead in the 

 game by a beautiful run of 83, Rudolphe's best run not ex- 

 ceeding 49. Slosson averaged 9 and over in this game. 

 The game of the afternoon was between Ubassy and Gar- 

 nier, and the game wont, by default as it were, for Ubassy, 

 when Gamier had scored 373 and had but 27 points to get 

 to win, he also having the balls in excellent position for a 

 long run, disputed the referee's decision, and actually 

 spread the balls over the table with the butt of his cue. 

 One Tesult of this ungentlemanly action was the refusal of 

 Mr. Bryant to act further as referee, and the election of 

 Mr. Isadore Gayrand in his place, Ubassy necessarily for- 

 feiting the game to Gamier by the score of 273 to 241. 

 Garnier's average was 10:30. 



In the evening two exciting games took place, Daly play- 

 ing Rudolphe under disadvantageous circumstances, inas- 

 much as the American was suffering from a boil under his 

 arm; still he managed to defeat the Frenchman after an 

 exciting contest, in which Rudolphe held the advantage up 

 to the 36th innings, when Daly by a brilliant rally scored 

 double figures in'tliree innings, and finished with a score 

 of 300 to 371. His average was 10:20, and his two best 

 runs 56 and 51, Rudolphe's best being 74. 



The last game on Monday was between Gamier and 

 Cyrille Dion, the former having an easy task in winning by 

 300 to 138, though Dion led off promisingly with 33. Gar- 

 nier's runs of 76, 59 and 58 were rapidly scored. His ave- 

 rage was 15. Dion's best run was 39. The appended score 

 of the the tourney up to November 9th, inclusive, gives a 

 concise view of the position, the figures showing the won 

 games, the cyphers the defeats, and the .... the games 

 yet to be played :

The Chess Season of 1874-75.— The chess season in 

 the metropolis is now in full operation, and things promise 

 to be more than ordinarily lively and interesting, inasmuch 

 as two chess tourneys are now in progress — one at the Cafe 

 Internatioualc, 304 Bowery, in which over thirty contest- 

 ants take part, and one at the Brooklyn Chess Club, in 

 which there are nearly twenty players, the former being 

 open to all comers, and the latter to all players residents of 

 Brooklyn. Besides the two chess resorts above named, 

 there is the Knickerbocker Cottage, at 467 Sixlh avenue; 

 the Cafe Cosmopolitan, li Second avenue; the Turner 

 Halle, 66 and 68 East Fourth street, and the chess room 

 corner of Fulton and Nassau streets, which has recently 

 been re-opened. In Jersey city, too, the club of that suburb 

 have rooms at 81 Montgomery street. In Brooklyn, be- 

 sides the club room in the Mercantile Library building, 

 there are chess tables, free of access to all, at the rooms of 

 the Christian Union, in Fulton avenue, opposite Elm Place. 

 It will be seen, therefore, that ample facilities for practic- 

 ing the noble game are presented in and around the me- 

 tropolis this season. 



We have in type an interesting score of a closely con- 

 tested game recently played between Mr. Perrin and Dr. 

 Barnett, at the Brooklyn chess rooms. 



— Tha handicap chess tournament, open to all comers, 

 and the first which has been held in this city since the one 

 of 1869, is attracting considerable attention among New 

 York chess players. The tournament is being held at the 

 Cafe International, and at its conclusion five prizes will be 

 distributed. Before this happens upwards of five hundred 

 games will have been played and about four weeks more 

 will have elapsed. The most notable feature thus far is the 

 defeat of Mr. Delmar, in two well contested games, 

 by M. Alberoni, a Freuch army officer. There are 

 thirty-four entries for the tournament, but it is not 

 probable that all will play. The first-class players are 

 Messrs. Delmar, Barnett and Mason ; second class," Messrs. 

 Dill, Barnes, Perrin, McCulchcou, B. Eisner and Alberoni; 

 third clas3, Messrs. Sanger, J. Lisner, Frankel, W. Towns- 

 end, Schultz, Goldman, Stanberry, Peck, Findlay, Murray, 

 O'Neill, Pryor; fourth class, Messrs. Garrahan, Nones, 

 Ferguson, Koch, Elwell, Mathesins, Limbeck and Whit- 

 aker; fifth class, Messrs. Spear, Townsend aud Edwards. 

 The foregoing thirty-four players have been handicapped 

 by Mr. G. H. Mackenzie, the champion chess player of the 

 United States, and the tournament is governed by the laws 

 laid down in Staunton's chess praxis. The following is the 

 method adopted by Mr, Mackenzie in the handicapping of 

 the players:— The players in the first class will give to the 

 second" class the odds of the drawn game; to the third 

 class, the odds of pawn and two moves: to the fourth class, 

 the odds of the knight, aud to the fifth class the odds of 

 the rook. The players in the second class will give pawn 

 and move to the third class, pawn and two moves to the 

 fourth class, and knight to the fifth class. The players in 

 the third class will give pawn aud move to the fourth class, 

 and pawn and two moves to the fifth class. The players in 

 the fourth class will give pawn and move to the fifth class. 



The Brooklyn Club Tourney.— The contests in the 

 tournament now in progress at the chess parlor of this 

 club up to date, present the appended record of games 

 won and lost.

 sixty odd members of the "Down Town Chess Club" of 

 New York, have entered the lists in the chess tourney of 

 the club which was commenced at the Cafe Cosmopolitan, 

 No. H Second Avenue, on November 9th. The leading 

 prize is a beautiful chess table, presented to the club by 

 Mr. H. H. Hasnock. 



The rules of the game will be those observed by the 

 last great chess tournament at the Vienna Exposition in 

 1873, and each competitor will have to play three games 

 with each of the other twenty-one competitors. 



The score of won games to date is as follows: Lipman, 2; 

 Tottler, 3; Rosenbaum, 3; Federor, 1; Schrader, 1; 

 Gueppe, 1; Spencer, 1; Rosenblatt, 1: 



The Cafe International Tourney.— The thirty odd 

 contestants in the tournament in progress at the Cafe Inter- 

 nationale, 394 Bowery, are rapidly running up the scores of 

 victories and defeats in the series of contests, aud thus far 

 Messrs. Mason, Delmar, Perrin, and' Dr. Barnett take the 

 lead.

 are credited with more victories than defeats, are as fol-
