The Billiard Tournament at Kingsbury M'1sio
Hail was well attended yesterday afternoon md
evening. Tho management WAS rather backward
In making tho nccosaary preparations Tor tho
games, the staging and table not being put up
In time, and tho hall being as cold as barn IN
the afternoon. The heating arrangements
should be properly looked after In the futuro, ~
tho playefs feel the cold moro than the spec
tators, having to stand around for hours at q
timo barehoadel and in their ehirt sooves.
Tie display Of skill was not up to tho standard
By any means, but there Is every reason to be-
Hove that those who attend to-day will bo simply
compensated for the time spcnt. Two Of tho
big players, tho follows who arc struggling for
; THO largo prizeH, will como together, and from
gasnoa between them ovcr7 day. Annexed Is
