BILLIARDS AND You've MEN's CHRISTIAN
Associations. VIM. L. Stone delivered a
lecture the other evening before the Young
Mems Christisn Association Of New York,
in which be took ground in favor Of billiard
playing as in itself an innocent and healthful
recreation He thought many merchant
would do well for his clerks by fitting up a
table in a room of his store where they could
spend part Of their leisure under judicious
restrictions He continued;
"Or sin better-and | throw this out
merely as a sugges;ion-how would it ans
weT to have billiard table in the reading
room Of this association; There need be no
fear Of its making this place resort for
blacklegs and loefers. Those only would
come here who love the science o: the game ;
and those who play under he excitement OF
betting or drinking would stay away Tie
fleet Of such step would be that humid eds
who now enter the billiard saloon for the
drsc time for the amusement Of the game,
would find that same relaxation here, amid
healthlul surroundings and thus many Of
our youth be saved from mental and physical
destruction"
