From the New York Mail and Express
On every rainy day there is additional
work for the attendants of the large bill
Hard parlors. Those who play the popu-
lar three-ball game have unquestionably
noticed how the cushions Of a table are
atfected by the weather. Particularly is
this so when drizzling rain prevails out
side. 1t is then that the cushions are
found to be inactive and slow. Ten years
ago II was not thought possible to make
billiard table fast without expensive
overhauling, which meant that the use of
the table had to be temporarily dispensed
with. Now, however, 1t is possible to nut
table in hrst-class order in less than
an hour. An immense fiat iron, well heat
ed, Is used, and in the hand of compe-
tent man few turns around the green
surface Will soon take all the moisture
out Of the cloth. The hot fiat iron Is par
ticularly serviceable on rainy day

Brooklyn has just framed a regulation
requiring not only a proper refilling and

of eight inches of Portland cement con.

But the new regulation also adds most ma,

many contractors. Incidentally it may
be mentioned that New York city charges
