THE ARC OVAL TABLE IN AUCKLAND.

Prompted by cariosity as to what an arc-oval table was like a goodly number of cuists turned up at the Victoria Buildings on Friday night to see a game between Mr. T. C. Bragge, of Victoria, and Mr. W. E. Hackett, the well-known Auckland amateur. The game was 600 up, Hackett receiving 200. The entirely new angles in the arc-oval table completely bothered the local player, who could never get going, and his breaks were but small. Bragge made one nicely put together run of 103 and a few fair runs of smaller amounts. In all he visited the table 33 times, which gave him an average of a fraction over 18 per cue. He ran out an easy winner.
