FAIR CUEISTS.

Some little time back Miss Daisy Eddy, the N.S. Wales lady champion, paid a visit to Tasmania (says the “Referee”), and while there she was urged to play a game with the Fijian prince, who happens to be a good cueist. Miss Eddy gave a pleasing exhibition, and more than held her own against the Prince, who was very pleased at the entertainment. During the last fortnight in Melbourne, Miss Eddy has had a few bouts with Miss Ruby Roberts, the Victorian lady champion, niece of Australian champion Charlie Memmott. Miss Eddy won a 300 game by 56 points, a game of 200 by 75, and two games of 250 each by 45 and 41 points. In a tournament game of 150 up between these two ladies and Miss Kemp, the N.S.W. champion beat Miss Roberts by 44. Miss Kemp beat Miss Roberts by 6, and Miss Eddy beat Miss Kemp very easily. A game of 350 up was won by Miss Roberts from Miss Eddy, the former exhibiting fine form in several well-p ayed breaks of over 30. Miss Eddy beat Miss Kemp easily in six subsequent games, and Charlie Memmott, who was a most interested spectator at each of the sessions, gave Miss Eddy the palm as superior player, at the same time paying this lady a high and deserving compliment regarding her form and the fine idea of U e game. Here is a hint for Auckland ladies.
