ALCOCK'S—THE BILLIARD PEOPLE.

"Evenings at home need never be dull" —that is substantially what Alcock's exhibit said to every Show visitor. This noted firm had on view some of its popular tables designed for home use. Particularly interesting were the two patent lever. billiard-diners, one being the ordinary high-grade model so well known throughout New Zealand, and the other the "Diner-dc-Luxe," a most desirable production in massive oak. By a simple mechanism either of these can be quickly transformed from a dining to a billiard table of perfect playing qualities. Another excellent, though non-convertible, table is "The Bijou," a modification in size of Alcock's famous full-size table. For the private practice of good players it is ideal. Other interesting features of Messrs. Alcock and Co.'s display at the Palmerston Show were the cleverlyconstructed miniatures of their standard full-sized billiard tables,. including that magnificent production, "The Tudor," and a representative range of playing equipment' that appealed to every billiardist seeking the best accessories. Catalogues, containing full particulars of prices and terms, may be obtained free from Alcock and Co., Ltd., Wellington, Auckland, and Christchurch.
