Johsi Deey, the Champion Billiar
1ST. An appreciative audience assembled
at Akln's Hall, on Saturday evening last,
to witness the skill of John Deery, lto
champion billiard player of America. Tbo
evening'! entertainment opened with a game
between Deery and Geo. Abbey, of Titus
ville, of 750 points posh shot barred. The
highest run was made by Deery, (100
points), and Abbey followed with a run of 9a.
The game throughout was watched with a
great deal of interest, nnd displayed great
skill on the part of both contestants. Abty,
although not a match for Deery, played a
splendid game, making many skillful shots.
At the conclusion of tbo game, Mr.
Deery made a number of fancy shots,
which were marvelous indeed.

with bis carpet sack in bis band, his coat
on his arm, and bis face streaming with per
