FOREST AND STREAM. 



Hall during Hie Ion days of the tournament. In the first 

 place t)le game itself— the three-ball French carom game- 

 called for the mo=t scientific billiard playing in vogue, and 

 then, again, the high reputation of the contestants, -who 

 included the most noted oillinrdists of France, the United 

 States and Canada, warranted an exhibition of skill un- 

 equalled in the annals of the game; and when combined 

 with theso elements was added the exciting feature of a 

 scries of contests for a champion medal and valuable 

 money prizes, it will be seen that everything was present 

 in the arrangements calculated to lead to the successful 

 issue attained^ 



In our last number the descriptive record of the games 

 played included the games up to Monday, November Oth, 

 only. We now give a brief notice of the contests which 

 followed, two or three of which proved to be of such ex- 

 ceptional excellence as to call for more extended comment. 



On Tuesday the games were opened by Messrs. Slosson 

 and Daniels, and the result was the success at the Chicago 

 expert and the defeat of the Bostonian, Slosson winning 

 by a score of 300 to 161, his average being a trifle over 

 eight, and his best runs (57. The next game" brought to- 



§ ether J. Dion and Uhassy, and the Canadian defeated the 

 Ycricli veteran by 300 to 133, the victory giving Dion the 

 lead in the tourney. His average was over 11 and his best 

 run 80. The Inst game of the afternoon nmmee. was be- 

 tween Daly and (Janvier, and to the surprise of his friends 

 he allowed the American to defeat him, Daly winning by 

 300 to 175; Daly's average was a little over 11, and his best 

 run 00. Gamier* not exceeding -10, 



In the evening the attendance was very large, as 

 Rudolphe was to meet Maurice Vignau for the first 

 lime, ;ind an exciting contest was expected. Rudolphe 

 obtained the lead early in the game and he raainlained his 

 vantage ground lo the close, and won by 300 to 331). His 

 age was IS and his best run 97. 



On Wednesday afternoon two unimportant, games were 

 played. Kudolphe defeating Daniels by 300 to 337, the 

 average not exceeding 7; and' Gamier had almost a "walk 

 over"' with Slossou, the score being 300 to 40 only. In the 

 evening the hall was crowded as it never had been before 

 at a,iy billiard rnteiiainmcnt, the attraction being the first 

 meeting between the Canadian champion, T. Dion, and Hie 

 FniirliCvpert, Vignau. Long before the hour for play in the 

 evening all the choice seats were occupied, and so numerous 

 was the. attendance, of ladies that extra seats had to be 

 prepared for them cm the (loot of the hall. The first call 

 showed Vignau to be in the vau by 78 to 17, and the lead 

 thus secured was maintained to the close- At the call of 

 Hie first hundred Vignau led by 100 fo 43. It was not 

 until his 30th innings that Dion scored his first hundred and 

 then Vignau led him by 70 points. In his second hundred, 

 as be was now but 40 points behind his opponent's 

 total, the contest became more interesting as a contest than 

 before, the. previous attraction consisting of Vignau's 

 masterly exhibition of Freuch billiard playing. In the 

 33d innings, however, Vignau added 35 lo his score, and 

 in his 34th, by a run of 33, closed the game, leaving the 

 totals at 300 to '334. 



The next contest to this was between Daly and C. Dion, 

 and the former won without difficulty by 300 to 345, the 

 winner's average being but 7. He made a fine run of 108, 

 the fourth best run of the tourney. 



On Thursday, Daly defeated Uhassy by 300 to 104, 

 Maurice runni n tr 70 and averaging 9, after which Slosson 

 defeated Cyrille Dion by 300 to 380, Cyrille playing poorly 

 until the last, when he made a plucky rally. Slossou's 

 average was 11 and best run 50. 



On Friday the first contestants were Daly and Daniels, 

 the former winning by 300 to 188, Daly's average being a 

 little over 7 only, and his best run 55. Thi3 closed the 

 score of both players in the tourney, their totals being as 

 follows: Daly six victories and two defeats, and Daniels no 

 victories and eight defeats. Rudolphe had closed his score 

 the night previous with a record of four victories and four 

 defeats. The next game brought together the veteran 

 Uhassy and young Slosson, the former winning by 300 to 

 197. In the evening the game was between Vignau and O. 

 Dion. Vignau made his first count in the fifth inning. In 

 the meantime Dion had scored double figures three times, 

 and run his total up to 40. In Vignau's sixth inning he 

 added 39 to his score, thereby securing the lead, after which 

 both laid duck eggs until the ninth inning, when Vignau 

 again ran 39. marked by two masse shots. This left him in 

 the van by 76 t" 41. Both now began to lower their ave- 

 rage, Cyrille only adding 4 to his score from the fifth to 

 l In- fifteenth inning. It was not until Dion's twentieth in- 

 ning that he exceeded a run of 17, but then lie got the balls 

 close to i'i - D iid he did not cease counting until he had 

 made 79 and run his total up to 151, Vignau's score being 

 tin. In the next inniug Vignau ran 31, slipping up on a 

 draw. Dion scored 7, when Vignau added 33 to his score, 

 and left the table at 158 to 153, only five points behind 

 Dion. In .Vignau's twenty-sixth inning he made 34, which 

 placed lii in 183 fo 103. In Dion's twenty-seventh inning he 

 slipped up after getting 17. In the thirty-second inning 

 Dion again obtained the lead with a run of 30, leaving the 

 totals ill 308 to 301 in his favor. Vignau made 13 in the 

 next inning. From this point up to the thirty-eighth inning 

 the game" fluctuated considerably. Finally, in Vignau's 

 thirty-ninth inning, he made a run of forty-six. Dion then 

 made 10, and in the fortieth inning Vignau ran the game 

 out, thereby winning the champion's gold medal. 



The last game was opened by* J. Dion with a run of 21, 

 and he was the first to score a hundred, a run of 49 in his 

 eleventh inninir leaving the totals at 101 to 61 in his favor. 

 This Gamier offset with a run of 93, he slipping up on an 

 easy bank shot. Afterward each ran 34, but Gamier was 

 fhe first to turn the second hundred, and inhistwenty-fifth 

 inning he ran the game out, winning by the totals of 300 to 

 333. The full score is appended:

— A match game of football of considerable interest took 

 place on the Campus at Dartmouth College last week. 

 There were eighty kickers, twenty men being selected from 

 each of the "four classes. The Seniors and Sophomores 

 played against the the Juniors and Freshmen, the trial 

 being for l he best three out of five game. Quite a large 

 number of spectators witnessed the game, three of which 

 were played. The first game was the most closely con- 

 tested of the three and lasted ten minutes. The Seniors 

 and Sophomores were victorious after several very narrow 

 escapes from defeat. The remaining two games the Seniors 

 and Sophomores won with less difficulty. Mr. C. II. Pet- 

 tee of the Thayer department acted as umpire. 



Princeton- College, Spy. H, ISM. 

 Editor Torest and Stream.— 



The first game of u scries for the championship of the colleges in foot 

 ball was played here this afternoon between ihe Columbia Coll. ge, of New 

 York, and Princeton twenties. The game was witnessed by a large con- 

 course of spectators, composed chiefly of students, though quite a num- 

 ber of the fairscx also were present. Columbia's ropre-cntic: ■

 nnd twelve minutes, respcciiveiy. 



The Columbia twenty is composed of .1 fine-looking set of men, physi- 

 cally, and it is hard to discover the secret of their iU-BUCcesW, unless it be 

 thai they were entirely "outplayed," which Yale so frankly confessed last 

 Fall to have been the rea-on of the severe defeat she then experienced 

 at the hands of Princeton. 



Messrs. King and Root, of the Columbias, especially excelled in their 

 playing today; each of whom did what he had to do well. The effective 

 kicking of Moffat secured two goals for Princelon; nnd Scott, or the 

 same twenty, dirt some of the most brilliant playing of the year. Though 

 decidedly one-sided, the game was quite exciting at times, and by no 

 means an uninteresting affair. It is to be hoped that the intercourse thus 

 instituted between Columbia and Princeton, will serve to strengthen tin: 

 bond of union which existed in a great measure during the past between 

 these two Universities; and that the good feeling and friendly spirit 

 evinced today, will continue throughout their future relations with each 

 other. 



The second game of the season, in foot ball, will be played here on 

 Saturday, the Slat Instant, between the Rutger's College anil Princeton 

 twenties. A close contest is expected, as the former has acquired the art 

 of "batting" well, to which acquirement the latter attribute much or her 

 previous success, as none of her other opponents have been found very 

 skilful in this style of playing. 



It is understood that Columbia and Yale, both under the conviction 

 that "batting" alone enabled Princeton to be so victorious over them, 

 will take strong measures to have all hitting the ball with the hand ruled 

 :xt intercollegiate foot ball convention. They also claim that

In closing, I would like to make a slight correction of an evident mis- 

 take in the last issue of your valuable paper. In a notice of games, 

 which took place at Tuft's College, it is stated that Perry ran and jumped 

 17 feet 64 inches, whuA is a tony way ahead of any of the C»l- 

 leges. (The italics are my own.) In correction of the last clause of this 

 sentence, I would simply state that Walker, of 76, inn and jumped 18 

 feet and 10. inches, at our Caledonian games in Juno. The measurement 

 was made by Prof. Goldic, the Champion Athlete of the Bolted States 

 and Canada, who is our respected and most capable instructor in gym. 

 nasties, assisted by a prominent member of tlie^ew York Caledonian 

 Club. In addition to the above, I think it will be found that Maxwell, of 

 Yale, has even exceeded the foregoing distance; in fact, I am certain that 

 he has run nnd jnmped more than 19 feet. Quidvis.

BPOETIKO 3<OTE S OF THE C URTtEKT WEEK. 



— At a meeting of the Ottawa Hunt Club, it was decided 

 to hunt for the Governor General's cup in Mutchmore 

 Park. Two steeple-chases, in which His Excellency will 

 join, follow. 



— Some friends of those who rode at the fox hunt at 

 Quebec last week, feeling interested in the height and ex- 

 tent of many of the jumps, measured a number of the 

 fences. They found that several of the horses went over a 

 mile of country, where they averaged four feet six inches. 

 One long jump across a guilv measured eighteen feet four 

 inches. There was also a formidable fence of four feet 

 eight inches, and a stride of sixteen feet six inches. 



—At a meeting of the Ottawa Club, on the 2d inst., Mr. 

 F. X. Lambert was elected President, Dr. Ilurbert, Vice 

 President, and Rev. Mr, Phillijjs, Secretary, for the en- 

 suing year. 



—Lieut. Mends, COtfi Royal Rifles, broke his leg on Satur- 

 day last in a match of football with the Garrison vs. the 

 Navy. 



— Beaver's team of Six Nation Indians beat the Young 

 Ontarios, of Caledonia, ill three straight games at lacrosse 

 on the 29th ult, 



— Mr. Robert Clark, of the London branch of the Bank 

 of Montreal, walked forty miles in nine hours and twenty- 

 four minutes, on the 29th ult. 



— The Caledonia Club of Toronto, will send four rinks ' 

 to the. grand bonspiel to be held under the auspices of the 

 Thistle Club, oT Hamilton, on Burlington Bay, in January

 ond, the last named. Young Wagram and Clip. The 

 Hunt Steeplechase for $175 was won by Bonnie Braes. 



—On Tuesday last the Toronto fox hounds met at the 

 kennels. The" hounds were, laid on to a drag and went 

 away past Mr. ninchlilfe's house on Bloor street, fhenco 

 North to the Davenport road, where they turned sharp to 

 fho left and went straight as the crow flies to Mr. Shedden's 

 farm, where a slight check enabled some of those wdio had 

 tailed off owing to the severe pace, to get, on better terms 

 with the rest of the field. The scent was soon found again 

 and wo went on to Carleton, wdiere we finished. Alto- 

 gether wo had a splendid run, which was en joyod by a field of 

 about fifty, among whom we were pleased to notice a con- 

 siderable sprinkling of ladies. Of course some of the hard- 

 riding ones contrived to part company with their horses 

 during the course of the run, but no one was hurt and they 

 went on as merrily as ever, after accidents that only in- 

 creased the general enjoyment. Ours is not quite a "cut 

 'em down and hang him up to dry" country, bet it is quite 

 as possible to come to grief at a Canadian fence as a Leices- 

 tershire one. As in one case so in the other— get tip again 

 and try and look pleased. That is what our friends did on 

 Tuesday. — Canadian Sportsman.

Eating for Strength:. By M. L. nolbrook, M. D. : 

 Wood & Holbrook, New York. Publishers. 



This convenient volume is divided into four parts; the flrst being de- 

 voted to the science of eating, the second to receipts for wholesome 

 cookery, the third to receipts for Wholesome drinks, and the fourth to 

 answers to recurring questions. These divisions render the work easy 

 of reference, and prove a most desirable convenience. The subjects 

 treated are analyzed most carefully, so that every deduction made is tho 

 logical sequence of the premiss assnmed, nnd that it is a correct one is 

 proven by borh arguments, comparisons, aud iucidents in actual life. 

 Whatever the writer of this volume may assert is apt to be based on tho 

 principles of right, for he is too conscientious to make false statements, 

 or jump at conclusions, without a thorough analysis of the subjects. 

 On this ground his work will be appreciated by all who may readii, 

 hence its teaching will bo adopted aud studied by all who would learn to 

 cat that they may live in such a manner as to avoid disease. Every 

 housekeeper should be in possession of this excellent volume.
