MR. ROBERTS, THE CHAMPION BILLIARD PLAYER,
AND HIS Sox, AT OXFORD.—Mr. Roberts, the champion
billiard player of the world, in company with his son, visited
Oxford on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday last, and gave a
series of entertainments to the members of the University
at Mr. Russell's subscription room, which was numerously
attended. The play of the elder Roberts, who has visited
Oxford on two previous occasions, seemed to have lost
none of its brilliancy, and with good health the champion
appears destined to occupy the high position he has gained
by his skill and integrity for many years to come. It
i
up able to approach Mr.
so
many years past no
lay
Roberts, and unless his young son, who gives exceeding
promise, should prove himself a wonder, thero is no one
pser somewhat
should singularhave turned that
rned for
we know of on whom the champion can cast his mantle
ou the appraach of the " sear and yellow leaf." On Satur-
day evening young Roberts contended in a match of 1,000
up against a distinguished amateur,who received 450 out of
1,000. After some very line play Roberts was victorious
by upwards of 100 points, having made breaks of 69, 62,
58, 51, the former including 16 strokes.
The most popular American racehorse at present
is Dexter, who has trotted a mile in less than two minutes
and 18 seconds, distancing every horse yet matched against
him. It appears that during the last four months by win-
ning races he earned for his owners $22,777, while his ex-
penses were $6,783, leaving a net profit of $16,994. One
half of this horse was recently sold for $ll,OOO.

A SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—As a gentleman
was driving along the Cheam-road a few nights since,
about 200 yards from the Cock Inn, at Sutton, he noticed
something before his horse's path, and in a moment found
a scuffling close under the animal's feet. The next instant
he perceived a hare making off on one side the road and
a large cat on the other. The latter had evidently seized
the hare and was dragging it along, but either the load
proved too great, or the resistance of the captive too strong,
and the horse's feet came swiftly up and divided him and
his prey. That cats will destroy rabbits and poultry is
well known, but we have never before heard of one giving
chase to a hare.—Surrey Standard.
