To-ni;ut the fourth billiard tournament which
will buvu taken place In Pennsylvania will com
mence tit tlio Asr-uinbly Buildings. All the ne-i-eeaary
arrangements have lieeu completed, and
iiuiple and comfortable accommodations have
been made for both the contestants and the
Visitors. This tournament la for the champion
ship of the State, for which Messrs. Nolm,
l'luukett, Palmer, RockMH, and Hunter, of this
city, will conteud. In addition there will be
three piiAJS awarded to the three best players.
The first will receive a gold-mounted cue. pre
sented Vy KavatiHgli Si Decker, of New York,
and a billiard table, presented by Victor Entcpho,
of this city. The second will receive a prize of
$150 tuid ihe third a purse of f 75. The great
panic will be between Messrs. Nelms and
I'timkett, both of whom have been engaged in
constant ) ractico for some weeks. Little Id
known of Nelnm' play, while l'luukett has been
Oil-counting Pulmer. Notwithstanding that but
little attention (ecms to have been given iu
Philudclplila by the public to billiard contests,
thn e tournejs have been held in this city, of
which we append a short account:
'Ihe llrst Slate tournament win played in this
city in September, 18'U. This was the first
'tournament in this country in which the obnox
ious push-Bhot was abolished. Victor Estepuo
"won the first prize, defeating all of his oppo
nents. The ceeond prize was won by E. II.
Nelms. K. T. Kyall then challenged Estepho
for the Championship. It was accepted, and
the game iilaved at Bansom Street 1111 Decem
ber 13, 4804, Eotcphe inuluiaiuiug his right to
the cue by defeating his opponent 2:4 points in
u guuie of l'JOO points. Soon after John Mont
gomery put in his claim to the cue and the title,
but met with defeat, having only scored 535
points to the champion's 1200. In this contest
Estephe's average was 1G, and his best run 101).
The next game lor the championship was played
between Estephe and E. H. Nelms at the Aca
demy of Music, In April, 1805. Noltns, who was
defeated, immediately rechallenged EslepUe,
but, owlug to some disagreement, the latter
resigned the cue to NeluiR, who in turn resigned
it to the Pennsylvania billiard Congress.
The second tournament took place in 18(10.
In this contest the objectionable push-shot was
reintroduced. The contestants were E. J. I'lun
kett, It. T. Kyall, and Victor Estephe. Nelms,
having removed to Baltimore, did not partici
pate. The champiou cue was won by Pluukctt,
and held by him until the third tournament,
which was played in February, lSt"7, brctweeu
Nelms, Estephe, Kyall, Kockhill, Palmer,
llewcs, Bruce, and ifoyt. Owing to Plunkett
haying left the State, he was burred from play
ing. The champion cue was won by Nelnn, by
whom it has been held ever since. The follow
ing is a summary of the play:
Nelms defeated all his opponents. Estephe
won with Kyall, Kockhill, Palmer, llewcs,
Bruce, and lloyt, hut lost with Nelms. Kyall
defeater" Palmer, Kockhill, Ilewes, Bruce, aud
lloyt, but was beaten by Nelms and Estephe.
Kockhill won with Palmer, Howes, Bruce, and
lloyt, and lost with Nelms, Estephe, and Kyall.
Palmer was successful with Ilewes, Bruce, and
lloyt. but was beaten by Nelms, Estephe, Kyall,
and Kockhill. Hewes defeated Bruce and ifoyt,
hut was beaten by Nelms, Estephe, Kyall, Kock
hill, and Palmer. Bruce was successful with
lloyt, but lost with all the other players. lloyt
lost with every player.
During the two years which Nelms held the
cue ho was called upon only once to defend it.
In that instance he defeated his opponent,
Kobcrt T, Kyall. by about 800 points.
The Jubilee. The Central Committee hay
ing in charge the arrangements for the display
to-morrow by the colored citizens of Philadel
phia in commemoration of the ratification of
the fifteenth ameudment, sit to-day and to-night
at Liberty Hall, for the purpose of receiving the
final report of the general committees. Nearly
all had been handed in by noon, and from in
formation contained therein, the affair to
morrow .promises not only to be the grandest
affair as yet held in this country by the new
made citizens, bat it also promises to compare
favorably with many of the demonstrations
made by their white brethren. The complete
programme f the ceremonies has beeu
issuvd, and the various division marshals have
received their instructions as to their duties on
the occasion. In addition to the preparations
made by the general committees, considerable
attention has been devoted by the varions civic
and military organizations to the matter of
banners and ornaments to be carried in the line.
That which will undoubtedly attract the most
attention will be the Thaddeus Stevens Monu
mental Association drawing a monument con
structed of wood and painted in imitation of
Italian marble. The base is four feet, and the
shaft is eight feet. A lull spread eagle will sur
mount the shaft, on either side of which there
will be appropriate inscriptions.
At nearly all of the colored churches there
will be appropriate religious services. The O. P.
Union League will atteud St. Thomas' P. E.
Church, at Fifth and Adelphi streets, and the
Thaddeus Stevens Monumental Association
will attend the Central Presbyterian Church,
Lombard street, below Ninth. At the former
Key. J. W. Ashton will deliver a discourse, nud
at the latter Kuv. John B. Keeve will o'Ueutc.
A feature iu the nrocession will be the Eiirhtil
Ward Kepublican Legion of New York. They
will bear with them a splendid silk standard
nreseuted before leavinir their native city by
the Union League of New York. Another fea
ture will be a tianasomo banner tendered tuo
C. P. Union League by the Directors of the

London, April 25. A telegram to the Central
Press Association of England states to-day that
a thin strip of wood, about a yard long, aud
tainted blue, drifted ashore yesterday near
igger Bay, on tbe northwestern coast of Corn
wall, containing the following inscription:
"City of Boston sinking, February 11." Tho
wood bore evidence of having been broken in
two, and tbe remainder of the inscription con
sequently lost, except the letter "M," which fol
lowed tbe words above given. Of course we
have no means of knowing whether this is a
genuine message from the missing teamer or a
heartless hoax, but the latter is strongly sus
pected. Clrculnrto the French Civil Service.
Pauis, April 25. The Journal OJflciel con
tains the following circular to officers of tho
civil service, signed by all the ministers:
"Ihe Emneror addressed a solemn appeal to
the nation. In 1851 he asked power to assure order;
iu ISTOhe asks how to establish liberty. Confi
dent of the title which is his by reasou of eight
million suffrages, he doos not surrender tho
Empire to discussion. He submits to a vote
only its liberal transformation. To vote "yes"
is to vote for liberty. The revolutionary party,
secretly attacking the national sovereignty and
misrepresenting tbe respect which the Emperor
pays to that sovereignty in thus consulting the
people, are not true friends of liberty; but in
spite of these the masses will march In our
ranks. Can they ignore the fact that to abstain
from voting or to vete "no" will be to strengthen
those who only combat the transformation of
the empire in order that they may destroy it,
and with it the political and social organization
to which France owes her greatness ?
"In the name of public peace and liberty; In
tne name oi me r.uiperor, we aemana ot you
all, our devoted colahorers, to unite your efforts
with ours.
"It is to the citizens we address ourselves, not
as ordering, but as offering patriotic counsel.
Our object is to assure to our country a tranquil
future, to tbe end that on the throne, as in the
humblest dwelling, the son may succeed tho
father In peace and quiet."
