The day OF big runs In billiards Ia over. It
Is now almost certain that when she next
match OF any importance Is played that some
new rule limiting rail-nursiug will be adopted
tlat will prevent such runs as Slosson and
Schaefer made In their late game.
The New York ,S,m has been interviewing
the leading billiard experts on this point. It
linds Q majority of them in favor of some
change Ia the present rules, but q division, to
some extent national, as to what the change
should be; the French players GARNER, Ru-
dolphe and Vigneanx- favoring the three
point rule, according to which line is drawn
six inches from the rail, and only three shots
are allowed within this line; while the Amer
lean players want the shots at balls on the
rail to be limited to fifty.
The general sentiment was that billiards
was progressive game; that 1t had become
too easy and that, therefore, some rule
must be adopted to make it more difficult
DAILY called the reporters attention to the
great changes made In the game In the past
few years. In 1861, he said, they played with
four balls and six pockets. The pockets, how
ever, were soon mastered, and 1t became pos
stble Tor player to run out In one run. The
side pockets were therefore abolished and
only four pockets allowed. Players then
adopted push shots and were able to run out
by these with. very little trouble. Push shots
were then prohibited. The corner pockets
were first diminished In size and soon after
altogether abolished. This left billiards
four ball game on pocketless table. The
runs made, however, at this game were SO
great that 1t became evident that some new
rule would have to be adopted to make bill
lizards more difficult and one ball was there
fore banished from the table, leaving the
game as 1t Is to-day. It has now become evil
dent that by getting the balls on the rail it
requires by good players only little nerve and
perseverance to run out. 1t was fit time, he
thought. to adopt some rule that would make
these rail runs impossible.
Such, the Sun thinks, Is the general senti-
ment Ia billiard circles, and 1t prophecies that
some modification of the present rule will he
adopted at the next billiard tournament.

st. Louis enterprise has a far reaching arm
The Mexican excursionists have just re.
turned, and give SUCH nattering accounts OF
their reception and the commercial capabili-
ties OF the country they visited that deter
mination Is being manifested to swoop
into the lap Of the Future Great City the bulk
of the Mexican trade. As a beginning to this
end 1t is proposed to run the Iron Mountain
Railroad into the City OF Mexico. This
scheme looks little wild at present, but as 1t
is feasible 1t Is by no means improbable that
it will be contaminated

The Senate yesterday, after considerable
discussion, adopted an amendment to the
revenue bill reducing the tax on tobacco to
sixteen cents. The present tax is excessive
and has worked great hardship on the pro-
Queer and manufacturer. AS the bulk of the
tobacco used in the country is raised In the
South, the lessening of the tax rate is a mat
ter of considerable relief to this section. It
Is hoped that the House will concur with the
Senate In its amendment. which is hardly
doubtful
