Mr. Jehn Cllne, the well known local expert, whose reputation ns n clever billi.irdlst ox ex lends beyond the limits or" his home,- proved an inoxhaustiblemlno or information en nil subjects relating te the fascinating sport. "I liave net observod a great deal or peput Jar Interest manifested in the teumanien, between the greatest players of the country newln pregrcssin Now.Yerk,"satd Mr.Cline "and I am certain that it lias gl en no impetus te the local game, The fact of the matter Is, thlshas been a very hard scaseu en billiards.

Tlie reporter noticed seme or the billiard Tables slleiit, while the throepool tebies were constantly running. This led him te inquire as te the relative popularity or the two games. "Peel can never keep the held en the pop pep nlar fancy that billiards has attained," said Mr. Clinc, "for tlie reason that the possibili ties or the game with ainateurs are sooner ex hausted. A man may play billiards from yeuthr until old age, and still find himself learning seuiPthhig new, or ns Xowten tersely sulci, picking up shells along the Ocach. Peel reciulrcs the llrm liand and trained oye as well as billiards, but in it the inilnite variety or angles, the musse shot and the various degrees or twist are missing. Yet thore Is nothing 111010 entertaining than a geed peel contest when such experts as Mu Mu lpne, Sutten, Wullnce or Frey uredliOLtlns the cues." tub bai.k-i,im: eami:.

"It Is ene or the best possible contri vances te kcep expeits from length ened nursing along the rails or in the corner- of the tables, unci puts players lairly en their merits.

The same is true ei the "cor ners. Thus it will be seen that the eniv nursing posslble is tliat dene in tlie ccntre or the table, and uny ene who lias tried this will at once rccognize its dillluulty. Tlie old game admitted of runs fur into the hundreds, but in the balk-line play, a man who can aorage tlirce in a game or 10 points may lay claim te beluga skilirul billlardlst.

"What docs ugeMl table cost?" (jucrk'd the ropertcr. "Yeu can buy ene for f250. Tliey would ceme down much loner than that but for the monopoly in the business that the llrunswick, Ilalke, Cellonder company ;iew enjoy. Tlie lirst two conselidatect with tlie latter and they new control the manufacture of tables in this country. But it is an ill-wind that blows no ene geed. IT the tables were cheaper, they would be mere plentiful, and the room keeper's business would sullur. As it Is new, we travel under cpilte a heavy lead el taxes the city imposing an annual tax- or f:su en the first table In a room and 810 en each or the ethers. Thus our niue bibles cost us 8110 everyyear.
