(See Scientific Am erican, volume 1G, number 11.) It is the ONLY Cushion that possessess all the qualities essential to a perfect Cush ion. If is tho most elastic and most durable Cushion ever offered to the biMiard-playing public, as is abundantly proven by tho great demand for it since its introduction. The peculiarity which distinguishes the CAT GUT Cushion and renders it superior to all others, is the tightened cord of oat gut which overlies the fuco and dge of tho rubber, nnd running the full length of tho Cushion, which prevents the ball from bed ding into the rubber und jumping from the table. The addition of the cat-gut cord also adds much to the elasticity of the Cush ion. The CAT-GUT Cushion has already been applied to over 1000 tables which are in constant use. It can be applied to tables of nny make, for $75 per set. KAVANAGH & DECKER'S Factory, nt tho corner of Centro nnd Canal Streets, N. Y., is (he most complete of its kind in the world.
