BILLIARD6.—On Monday the lovers of the game D., hillier& were more than 'ratified in witnessing one of
the most interesting displays ever burin in this town,
namely, that of • nuttA of MO sp, between Protestor
Berger: from Paris, who style: biased, the French
champion, and Captain Bennett of this town, whim
skill is very little inferior to mete of the best players
in England. Tbe match took place at Duns's Victoria
Hotel, is the newly-erected and spacious billiard room,
on one of Thurston's best tables. About 8 o'clock p.m.
the room began to fill, the oompany, numbering about
150, onneisting of officers of the curison and members
of the billiard clubs, and the usual &squatters of the
room. The nuateh played was the English fame. and as
before stated 400 up, Capt. Bennett receiving 1011. In
speaking of the play it seas soon observed that both
parties were on their metal, evidently watching mob
others strokes, which soon brought out the play on
both sides, and we must here natioo that although
brilliancy of execution vu soon exemplified on the
Part of the professor, more especially in the cannon
pme, it wee evident that from his practice on the
French tables, he wes now and then at hull in execut-
ing many cannons which mold sot be made on an
Failleh table from the pockets being in the way; yet
with such precision were they performed, tlutt though
aniseed, would have been a matter of certainty on •
Parisian table; whilst his losing and winning bawds,
even when his ball was enehioned, bespoke his master-
ship rd the cue, In speaking of Captain
Bennett's execution we believe it is well known
both le Weymouth and the county, that
6w gentlemen, if any, hem been found
to play him at even point., and we are net far wrong
In ...rang the Captain licanette wateltful eye kat
nothing in his previous match with Profemor Berger at
the Gloucester Hotel, as evidenced by his executing in
Bergez's style 1101130 of the most extraordinary and
difficult cannons we have witnessed, which not only
drew forth • burst of applause from the
bystanders, bat a high compliment from the professor.

J. J. Rolls (le whose we are indebted for the above
sketch, and who, by the by., be an old billiard player),
proposed at the mitigation of several gentlemen, a vote
of thanks and • compliment to the captain for bold-
ing hie antagoaist so doss throughout the game, end that
although losing-by-em• pima, Mr. Rolls added that be

stroke by • mere shave. A suitable oompliment was
also paid to the professor, In which the whole room
concurred- In the after play, there vu one of the
