A LUDICROUS REASON.
A match recently arranged to take place at the Corporation Arms Hotel, Blackburn, on the Arc-Oval table, between W. Holt and W. Ainsworth, was suddenly abandoned (says the “ World of Billiards”), and a rather curious advertisement in the local papers notified all and sundry that “ unforeseen circumstances” were the cause. I now hear that the game was prohibited by the chief of police, who, my correspondent informs me, says they do not allow exhibitions. I suppose the next thing we shall hear will be a protest against the nakedness of the table legs and a direction that they shall be suitably draped.
