BILLIARDS.
CRTSTALATE CUP.
The heat between A. B. Jlassey and J. O'Rourke attracted a large audience to the show, rooms of Messrs. Alcock.and Co., Ltd.-, Strand Arcade, last evening. ' O'Rourke, .who has been showing specially good form lately, was somewhat out of touch in the early stages, enabling Massey to get a good lead, which he held to the finish, winning by 160 points. The, luck of billiards was very clearly marked in the case of O'Rourke, who for practically half the game bad the balls left in good ■ scoring positions. As is nsual tvitb. Massey, he played a very free scoring game, and made breaks of 33, 31 nnd 21. • The loser made best runs of 35, 30, 29 and 20. There will be no play this evening, but the tournament will be resumed on Monday nipht, at 8 o'clock, when J, Cooke and J. TV, Russell will decide their game.
