LINDRUM'S FINE FORM.
STEVENSON FAR BEHIND. (Received 10.25 a.m.) MELBOURNE, this day. In the billiards match Lindrum is showing fine form. His score is now 12,168, while Stevenson's stands at 9010.' Lindnrm, who is receiving 4000 itart in 18.000 up, is keeping well ahead of his points, and Stevenson's chance of beating him must now be considered very remote. He is apparently playing all round billiards, and not making much use of his losing hazard, which is barred in this match after 25 consecutive shots, a limitation which, however, Lindrum could easily avoid by sandwiching in a winning hazard occasionally. Te stated recently, however, that he believed the Austral- m billiards public had enough of losing hazard play in his match with Reece, ind the absence of reference to this stroke would indicate that the young Australian champion is playing the same game as his opponent.
