the winner of the inlaid billiard cae, BUT

capable of defending it thar he. The rules
of the game are that the player winning
the cue is to have his name engraved
thereon. and must defend it at least once

lied by the young men,. The track is at
the Ocean avenue END and will be fitted
up for practice. Father Carroll will short
" have electric lights placed therein. so
as to afford light at night for the young
men. Mr.. Thomas OsDay will take charge
of the athletes, and VIII tram the young
fellows to- compete with the other Catho-
lie organizations in this city.
