BILLIARDS
. EXHIBITION BY M'CONACHY. Unusual interest is being shown in the billiards exhibition. to be given inWellington on • Christmas Day and the two succeedings days by Clark M'Conachy, the ' New Zealand champion, who will be competing in the world's championship in London in March-April next. This game will be 4500 points up and played with crystalate balls. The champion concedes his opponents 3000 start. Although the game is relatively a short one compared to the 16,000 points played in big matches, still it is sufficiently long to justify the hope that the New Zealand representative will' make a- world's record break. In his last big game in Wellington he approached the record very closely. The exhibition will be given under the exacting conditions obtaining in championships, and every .facility is afforded the rhampion to distinguish himself. R.i Conachy, it can now be stated definitely, leaves for; England on the 29th inst., and good judges are of opinion that .New Zealand's representative holds strong prospects of adding another worlds championship to the Dominion's already long list.
