WahlstromSweden (8) October 3, 1878 NYT Born March 1843 Montreal, Canada Left Handed Cyrille Dion, the well known billiard player, died of congestion of the lungs at his mothers home in Montreal, early yesterday morning.He has suffered from a severe cold for three years, and recently spent several months in the South with the hope of recovering his health.On Friday last he left this City to visit his mother and rest under her care.He caught a fresh cold in a sleeping car while on his way to Montreal, and this produced the congestion of the lungs of which he died.Cyrille Dion was born in Montreal in March 1843.Upon leaving school he entered the grocery business as a clerk.He spent his leisure hours in billiard playing, and soon became recognized as the best amateur player in Canada. Dion became a professional player in July 1865, when he won the championship of Canada at a tournament that lasted a week in Montreal.Soon after this success he defeated the champions of several Eastern and Western States, and appeared in tournament in this City.He came to live New York about eight years ago.His first great success here was in winning the Championship of the United States at a tournament held in the Hippotheatron, on Fourteenth Street.After defeating Mc Devitt in a great game, which he won by only one point, Cyrille Dion went to San Francisco to play John Deery, and was there beaten by 14 points in a four-ball game of 1,500 points.He won the diamond cue, the symbol of championship of the United States in the four-ball game, and retained it for a year and a half, beating all aspirants for its possession, thus gaining the ownership of the trophy.He won the championship of America from Maurice Daly, but forfeited it to Garnier, and a few months ago he defeated all other players in a pool tournament.He did not keep the pool championship long.The Swedish player, Wahlstrom, challenged and beat him.Cyrille Dion was a player of great nerve and judgment, and his skill drew to him as much honor and profit as are attainable by followers of his profession.
