BILLIARDS

ALOOCK’S BILLIARD DIXER HANDICAP.

There was another large gathering of spectators at the showrooms or Alcock and 00., Ltd., last evening to witness the continuation of the tournament. A. H. Cockayne beat O. H Shepherdaon by 15 points, E. X. Kelman beat E. Jacobsen by 9 points. The latter game was full of interest. Jacobsen led off in great style andquickly assumed the lead, which he maintained until the end of the second hundred, when Kolman, who had been playing rather erratically, settled down and took possession. This he managed to keep to the end. Jacobsen’s downfall was due in a measure to hie adopting the gentlemanly attitude, eo often taken up by amateurs, in not potting the white, and then leaving a safe miss.

William Eraser (owes_ 2-3) v. A. J. Lockwood (rec. 40). —This was another good game, but Fraser; who is a much superior player, won. -He made breaks of 40, 27, and 33. and his exhibition throughout was a treat to witness. . Lockwood made runs of 20 and 17.

The games for to-morrow are as follow: —At 7.30 p.m., A. Longmore v. E. W. Bird, H. H. Porter v, A. H. Cockayne. At 8.30 p.m.. J. W. Collins v. G. Hemmingway, W. X. Tucker v. William Fraser. This last game should prove a l>attle royal, and a real good exhibition is' looked for.
