It wise and proper for the Liberal Rev

Crop Prospects.
The severity of the winter, the late
ness OF spring, and the prevalence OF
dry weather, have combined to produce
disastrous effects upon nearly all crops
in this region. The supply Of fruits and
vegetables in the city markets IS
therefore limited in comparison with
previous years. Prices are high in pro-
portion, while the prospects Of most
crops later in the season are lar from
encouraging.
International Billiard Match.
The international billiard contest was
continued to-day and the hall was
packed with lovers OF the game. Never
before was so large an audience brought
together to see a game of billiards.
The first game was between Maurice
DAILY and Albert GARNER, the former
winning the game by ten points and
making the extraordinary run OF one
hundred and thirteen. The second
came was between Joseph Dion and
John Derry. This game was not par
ticularly interesting, Dion being an easy
winner by seventy-three points. The
third game was between Francis Ubas-
say and Albert GARNER. This was looked
forward to with great interest: The
excitement was intense and the betting
was lively at five to four on Ubassay.
The result however, did not justify the
betting. GARNER led off with several
scientific shots and kept the lead to the
seventh inning when Ubassey made
run of forty-two and caught his oppo-
pent. GARNER however, soon took the
lead, making a score at every inning
and maintaining the advantage to the
close. In the eighteenth inning he
made the large run Of sixty. The sco'e
at the close Of the game stood GARNER
900 IJbassey 239.
