throughout. The playing was
watched with intense interest from
be2ioning to end, aud at tines with
a church. like stiffness. Applause
was frequent and spontaneous, but
in each instance quickly subsidized in
close attention TO succeeding opera
tions.
The table used on the occasion is
the Brunswick Ballle-C ollender with
Monarch cushions, and is an elabo-
race piece of workmanship. 1t is
made of ebony, white holly, mahog-
any, and other costly woods, hand
somely inlaid and artistically shaped.
This table took the gold and silver
medals at the Mechanics Exposition
of San Francisco in 1885. Since its
arrival here it has been sold to His
Majesty the King, through Mr.. II.
f. Hitler, and will shortly be trans
ferred 10 the Palace.
A few minutes after 8 o'clock Mr..
McCleery announced that he would
play a game with Mr.. Maurice Keo-
hokalole, of 100 poin.s up, 3 ball
calom game, Maurice to score as he
goes along, whilst McCleery requir-
ed to make a run of 100 points or no
scote. Maurice had the lead. His
play was of simple character, and
not characterized by anything snowy
or dashing. McCleery followed and
it was at once evident that he was
master of The cue. He played with
ease and grace throughout, until his
final effort of making 100 points in
one run, was accomplished in mas
terly aud scientific manner. The
native made one run of 20 points
for which he was deselvedly APP
plauded. The expert followed with
80, and immediately afterward with
40. Maurice gradually approached
The end, and when it was announced
SO VS. novaing with an apparently
easy shot left, there appeared 70 be
nothing lett but for Maurice to win.
BY one of chose unaccouniable freaks
of .he balls he failed TO score which
once more let in McCleery. 1t was
his only chance. He started with a
determined look about him and APP
parent determination 80 win. He
cot The balls 20 the rails and very
cleve.ly kept them there, and scored
away as fasS as The scorer could re-
cord. The applause was frequent
and the excitement intense, more
especially when he would emerge
from an apparently inextricable
labrinth in the easiest manner ina
gina',le. The game was called 80
VS. 90 and The balls on the rails. 1t
was soon 80 all, when the winning
stroke was made by McCleery at tue
breok end of Tue table. To accom-
plish The 100 points he had travel
led down Tue le:oband cushion,
across The top cushion, and up the
righ.;land cushion, when sup
pressed feeling of admiration was
vented by he enthusiastic audience.
MI. Maurice was congratulated on
his favorable display of billiards.
MI. McCleely shook him by the
hand and thanked him heartily for
assisting him in his exhibition.
Maurice mode some pretty shots,
but he ! cks knowledge, like his
counvrymen who played on the pre-.
vious evening. McC'eery play was

that he would give few exhibition

He, in common with all who we =
there last evening, desires 10 Sc
another game. The run of 10'
points is very pretty, but with a
opponent like Saylor. it is question
able whether a similar game wOul'
be played. Surely the public O
Honolulu and the enterprising les

sufficiently interesting to brin

men return to the Coast.
