B' URING the last five-and-twenty years the number of Billiard Tables in use has multiJ plied fifty-fold. The game in years past was an expensive luxury, enjoyed only by the"rich. Now, however, the game is placed within the reach of all. We would particularly call the attention of private familes to our most recent inven. tion—the Cottage Billiard and Dining Table—as those who can afford a separate'room for Billiards are, of oourse, somewhat limited; but by means of these convertible tables one room suffices for the ordinary purposo of a Dining Room as well as a Billiard Room ; and the tables are so constructed that they can be adapted for rooms of small size, and dine from 10 to 20 persons. We would also call attention to the fact that we have now made arrangements to lend out on hire-on the hire-purchase system—all descriptions of tables at very moderate rentals, for fixed p • rods. This is a new feature of our business, and is becoming very popular. ONE OF THE BEST INVENTIONS OF MODERN TIMESThe Patent Extra Low 1 Cold-Resisting Billiard Cushions.’ WHICH NEVER GETS HARD IN COLDEST CLIMATE. Messrs BURROUGHES & WATTS having a special method of preparing India-rubber r the manufacture of their Billiard Cushions, claim for them—The most perfect truth of igle. They are quite noiseless and the fastest. Never get hard, always the same, winrancl summer. Always keep their shape. Balls do not jump. No country house should i without them. The table always in perfect order. Old tables can be fitted with these ishions on the premises by our own men. We can lend spare sets of cushions, so your ble is not out of play during alterations.
