POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day.

THE SING LE-HANDED BILLIARD ill A 7 CH

OXFORD v. CAMBRIDGE.

This match was played on Saturday evening last,
at the St. James's Hall. The attendance, as on the
former occasion of the playing of the four-handed
match, was good. Mr. Rodger (Oxford) and Mr.
Wickham (Cambridge) were the representatives of
the sister Universities, Oxford Jonathan taking
charge of the marking board, and giving universal
satisfaction. At first it was feared there would be
no match at all, an objection having been raised
against Mr. Wickham on the ground that his name
was not on the college register, which should have
been ascertained previous to allowing him to play in
the-four-handed match the day before.. Eventually
the objection was waived, but not with a very good
grace, and play commenced at eight minutes past S
precisely, and continued with a varying success, not
calling for any special notice until 8.32, when the
game stood—Oxford, 102 ; Cambridge, 50. The
odds of 10 to 4 on Oxford were offcre I, but no
takers. Oxford then got a break of 42, and Cam-
bridge one for 26 ; these were the two longest
breaks of the match, the remainder of the points
being made up of miserable eights, tens, and fif-
teens, from breaks which should have given many
more, and on two occasions, only reaching 20. At
9 o'clock the score was—Oxford, 202 ; Cambridge,
109. Offers being now made of sto 4 Oxford wins
with 100 points to spare. At 10 o'clock
Oxford was 406 and Cambridge 275, the
match terminating at 10.24, Oxford winning
by 139. Time-2 hours 16 minutes. It
had been hoped that this year an improve-
ment would have been seen in the play, but it
proved fallacious. A comparison of the time taken
to play the match, and the number of points made,
will at once show to what a tedious length it was
drawn out ; and it will be for the managers to con-
sider • whether, if next year they have not more
talented- and better trained representatives, it would
not be advisable to shorten the length of the game,
the play not being equal to that which may be seen
nearly every evening in any of the public billiard-
rooms of note in the metropolis.
