BILLIARDS.
' v-'- * Thomas Recce, who is at present in Sydney, when asked his opinion as to tha possibilities of Gray winning tho next English championship, said:— "Of that I can form no definite opinion, , nor can anyone I else, until wo liavo &ecn how Gray gets on, with ivory balls. Ho has two difficulties to tret over—first tho ivory balls, and next H. S W. Stevenson—and, in view of the opinions I havo expressed, both aro very considerable. At tho same time, I do not wish to eon* | voy tho impression that I have any contempt for the ■ red-ball game. No one ha# a more sincere admiration than 1 have fori* tho patieneo and skill .which Gray and Lin« drum exhibit in dealing with it; but I do think, and I know that many or my brother professionals think with me, that whatever degree* of perfection it may ultimately bo brought to, its inherent, attraction will no» in the long run bo sufficient to command tho support of tho public against tho three* ball game." - >' . y
