BILLIARDS IN PARIS.
Waning Popularity on Account of the
Increase of Outdoor Sports.

''S'N ~ SHAASS' SRSlhSs
Paris Correspondence London Tele-
grapn.-Whenever some decline real
or imaginary, in an indoor pastime or
pursuit is noted the cause is attributed
to the growing taste for life in the
open air. Some time ago the trade
laid the responsibility for fall in the
sale of books on the bicycles, and now
the authorities are putting the blame
for the decrease of the licenses for bill.
lard tables from $4,000 in 1888 to
100000 in round numbers. last year
on the augmenting relish for field
sports
However the question may stand in
various provincial districts, there is at
least not the slightest reason for the
conclusion that the game Is losing ia
vor in this city. 1t is as popular with
all classes as ever, and the frequency
of matches in which general interest
is displayed clearly demonstrates the
position which it still holds in public
estimation. Veterans of the art will
not admit for a moment that billiards
are on the wane anywhere. Inn
keepers and publicans in various rural
retreats argue that they have not
thought it worth their while to replace
obsolete tables with the prospects of
tax to add to the expense when peo-
pie are tlocking more and more into
the towns. But if there has been
some diminution in the matter of
quantity, quality at any rate has been
asserting itself, as better tables are
now made than was the case before.
Here in Paris a general improve
ment, coupled with liberal patronage
of the game, not only in cafes of the
highest class. but also in houses
frequented by workpeople, has been
manifest. Nor, indeed can the argu-
ment that your Gallo neighbors have
become so active that they have little
time to spare for indoor pastimes hold
water. The terraces and the interiors
of the cafes and the establishments
kept by the marchands de vim are as
crowded as they ever were with Gus
toners And if the average French
man is disposed to devote more OF his
leisure to outings he still finds plenty
of time for amusement of a more or
less sedentary character as we'll. In
short, we are by no means within
measurable distance of the decline and
fall of billiards, which. when all is
said and done, is as much in vogue as
ever as a favorite game of skill.
