Adrian lar, The BIlIIardIsI.

Monsieur Adrian liar, the cham
plon billiard player, who plays with
Dis nngers instead OF cue, gave q
remarkable exhibition of his skill,
Monday night, in New York, where
ne recently arrived from France. He
beat Dion on 800 point game in five
innings, making an average of so,
HIS last run was l65 points, and it is
said he might easily haYe been made
ten times as many, had he not been
stopped by the call OF the game. At
the close Mons Izsr gave an exhibi-
ton OF his fancy shots, which The
Stt1 described as follows:
simple caroms and short draw
shots, follows, cushion kisses. and
round-the-table shots requiring. the
most accurate calculation were exc
euted without the slightest apparent
eHort. But his uQappPoachAoie skill
was best mauifested in the execution
OF shots OF more difficult nature.
he would twist his ball from the low
ef end OF the table, take the red in the
upper left hand corner and draw it
straight back down 10 the lower left
hand corner aud oarOm on the white,
De would carom from the red Ia the
centre OF the table, take the cushion
at the right hand corner. He would
onalk figures upon the cloth, and
playing on one bail, would make his
Dali follow the lines of the figure and
make the carom upon the other.
Having one ball held st one end OF
the table on the wood work, he threw
HIS ball intothe air, and brought the
two into contact, his own ball run
ming the full length OF the rail with
out even touching the eushion cloth,
as could be told at the further end of
the room by the sound. He next
made 3 figure four balls, and the
w" oaroEn, which was a shot as Gu
rious as wonderful.
Arranging ten balls In q line psral-
lei with the cushion, he sent his ball
spinning down upon the first. 1t took
the cushion and caught the second.
Then diving OFF to the cushion it re-
bounded the third, and SO it went
down the line, touching first one ball
and then a cushion, until the last bail
was touched. The same shot was
made with twelve and afterward with
fifteen balls.
His stake carOm" was made by
running his ball down the table with
great force between lines OF decanters
and glass, sixteen in number. Then
be made his "DJllymOunt" stroke
with the cue. This is made by driv-
ing the balls twice around the table
from the right hand corner. In their
rapid tour around the table no two
balls came In contact. Mons. Izar's
last trick was to drive twelve small
balls into the mouth of wicker bot
tie held a foot above the table,
