The BILLIARD RECON-.
mcnds improvements.
New York, February IL.
The recent billiard tournament has again
proved the glorious uncertainty Of the
game, and experts and others are giving
attention TO details looking to an improve
ment. Among the many propositions ad-
vanced for q new game, are these First,
Forbidding masse shots. Second, Forbid
ding nursing. Third, II nursing be al
lowed, the balls are to be respected after a
run Of so. Fourth, No carrom to count
| unless Q cushion is made. Fifth, The
| game to be with two balls only the object
| ball to be hit twice. Correspondents are
flooding the newspapers with all manner OF
| devices to do away with q game that has
| become, with professionals, altogether too
| simple. A correspondent in this mornings
| Sun makes this point For example, each
| of the players, at the conclusion OF his
| thirty-ninth inning, has 581 points one Of
| them rum 10, and is given the game.
| Does that give his opponent a fair shown
Certainly one Of the players has had forty
chances. and his opponent has had only
| thirty-nine. The French experts, GARNER,
| Rudolph and Vignaux are earnestly in
| favor Of some modification Of the game,
while the Americans view the proposition
coldly, or positively oppose it.
The British Farmers Cannot Live
ut the Present Market Prices.
New York, February IL.
Estimates made by Thomas C. Scott and
| Arthur B. Savory, on English wheat grow
ing, show that English farmers cannot con-
tinue it at the market prices OF the past
season. Careful figures show that wheat
must net the farmer &c IS per quarter, to
cover expenses while the average price
during the past four months was only 2f.
They say that if American growers can
raise wheat, and after paying costs, includ-
ing transportation, can sell it in the Eng
lish market for $1.25 cents per bushel,
then the time and money expended in rails
ing grain in Great Britain is wasted.
Reception ia Peter Cooper.
New York, February u.
Peter Cooper's friends give him q re-
ception tonight, to-day being the anniver-
sary of his birthday. Many distinguished
citizens will participate, including the
Presidents Of all the New York colleges,
three or four Catholic bishops, and a ma
iority of the clergy. The University of
New York will confer on him the Academic
degree.
The London News Admires Bret
Harte.
NEW YORK, February IL.
The London Daily Neaos says Bret
| Harte's lecture on the "Argonauts Of
40" is q great success. OF all the disciples
| Of Dickens, Harte is perhaps the only one
who has not fallen into the trick of aping
| his masters mannerisms. He is almost the

ment.

the Reorganization bill fallen fat, but .
proposal to reduce the numerical strength
Of the army to 10000 men, which narrow
" escaped becoming q law at the last SEES

third Of the House recently. The United

PEELED to cover as long as we continue our
