or the two players in the recent match
game, Maggioli has had by far the most ex-
perience. He has been playing in public for
about twenty years, and in that time has
taken part in numberless matches and tour
naments. Few players Of his class are better
known in billiard circles. He is of French
descent He first attracted attention as a
billiard player in 1873 10 by his playing with
the Miller brothers, Albert Hoa, Abrahams
and other New Orleans experts Maggioli is
good player and has graceful, easy meth
od Of execution.
William Hatley was born at Seneca Falls,
N. ", twenty-eight years ago. His record
rs billiard player is mainly confined to Chi
cago. His first public appearance was in a
room keepers tournament in 1855. In this
he tied for first money with Gallagher and
Matthews. The play off resulted in another
tie, and the players then divided the prize.
He entered the st. Louis tournament Of 1887,
in which John Thatcher won first prize, but
but being in poor form was allowed to with
draw without playing, and was refunded his
entrance money. He played in several other
tournaments during 1887 and 1888. Hatley
is very strong but irregular player, At his
best rate Of play, and keeping it up steadily,
he would worry any expert outside of Schaefer
and Slosson

Something About the PLAYERS in the Re-

In the billiard match which took place in
Chicago recently between Frank Maygioli
and William Hatley, the Ia ter cam out Sec

points up, at IA inch balk line.
Fourteen inch balk line is now the favorits
game with experts for all public contests, and
it is one that brings out all the beauties of the
game While it prevents the monotony Of
long runs amassed by nursing ON tho rail, IL
Is by no means rs restrictive as cushion
carroms and admits Of great freedom OF exc
cution on the part of the player In straight
billiards, of course, there is great deal OF
pretty shooting, but as before mentioned the
game grows tiresome the moment q player
lands the balls on the rail. In balk line bill
iards, when the balls get on the rail In any Of
the spaces formed by Che intersection of the
balk lines, the player must send one Of the
object balls out of the space on his second
shot or take his seat. Nursing on the balk
line, fourteen inches away from the rail, is
one of the prettiest and most difficult features
OF this game and one in which Schaafer and

and the other, the course of which we
had been following, round the base of the
mountain. At each terrace they made a

as the extraordinary richness and depth
of the soil, which for many ages past had
been washed down from the mountain
heights. Then following the line of an
excellent wagon road, on which we now
found ourselves, that wound up from
terrace to terrace, my eye lit upon the
crowning wonder Of the scene. For in
the center OF the topmost platform OF
terrace, which may have inclosed eight
or ten acres of ground, and almost sur
rounded by groves of orange trees
cleaned buildings Of which had never
seen the like. There were three groups
OF them, one in the middle and one on
either side, and a little to the rear; but
as ! afterwards discovered. the plan OF
all was the same. In the center was an
edifice constructed like an ordinary Zulu
hut--that is to say, in the shape Of q
beehive, only it was five times the size
OF any hut ! ever saw. and built OF
blocks OF hewn white marble, fitted to.
gether with extraordinary knowledge Of
the principles and properties Of arch
building, and with SO much accuracy
and finish that 1t was often difficult te
find the fronts Of the massive blocks.
From this center hut ran three covered
passages, leading to other buildings Of
an exactly similar character, only small

ing eyes and wide stretched nostrils, and
the broken rein with which he had been
knee haltered flying in the air. Also I
saw something else, for on his back was
q great dark form with glowing eyes,
and from the form came q growing
sound. 1t was lion.
The horse dashed on. He galloped
right through the fire, for which he had
run in his terror, fortunately, however,
without treading on US, and vanished
into the night. We heard his hoofs for a
hundred yards or more, then there was
silence, broken now and again by distant
growls. As may be imagined, we did
not sleep any more that night, but waited
anxiously till two hours later the dawn
broke.
As soon as there was sufficient light
we rose, and, leaving Tota still asleep,
crept cautiously in the direction In which
the horse had vanished. When we had
gone fifty yards or SO, we made out its
remains lying ON the veldt, and caught
sight Of two great cat like forms sinking
away in the gray light.
To go any further was useless; we
knew all about it know, aud we turned
to look for the other horse. But our cup
OF misfortune was not yet full; it was
nowhere to be found. Soon we came
upon its spoor, and then we saw what
had happened. Terrified by the sight
and smell Of the lions, it had with des-
perate effort also burst the rein with
which 1t had been knee haltered, and
galloped far away. For now we were
left alone In these vast solitudes without
q horse to carry US, and with child who
was not old enough to walk for more

Nothing has recently caused greater
interest in the religious world than the
discussion Of proposed revision of the

vines who have taken decided grounds
upon the matter.
