Three Glasses Expectant

Secretary Morton has decided that
at least three classes of the Naval
Academy Midshipmen, numbering
about six hundred men, will take
part in the joint Army and Navy ex-
ercises in Chesapeake Bay frem June
8 to II. The vessels of the North At
.lantic fleet will form the principal
part of the naval strength in these
movements, and Ethey will take the
<Midshjpmen on board at the Naval
Academy before proceeding to the
rendezvous. This is distinct innova-
tion, and for the first time in the his
tory of the Academy the young aspi-
rants for admirals' commissions will
enjoy the opportunity nf assisting in
maneuvers bearing a close resemblance
to those of real war.
Should the results be favorable it
is quite probable that the same thing
will be done each year. Every method
should be employed to bring the Mid
shipmen into real touch with the ser
vice, to which he has devoted himself,
and nothing could be better for the
esprit and morale than drills aud ma
neuyers such as can be obtained only
at sea in a fighting ship under regular
sea conditions. The three classes indi-
Gated are looking forward to the new
experiences with a great deal OF
pleasure. The Midshinnlan tnili ''eoAe

billiards. an Old Game.

The game of billiards may Law claim
to great antiquity, for in Antony and
Cleopatra" Shakespeare makes Cleo
patra say: Let US play billiards.:
and so, unless we accuse the great poet
of error in chronology. we have traced
the game back to period before the
Christian era In early times a similar
game was played on the grass or turf
with stones, and later with balls OF
lignum vitae and other substances.
How to apply the right twist or
English" to the cue ball Is one Of the
most interesting and important ele-
ments in the art Of good playing. In
early times only two balls were used.
and each player sought simply to
pocket the ball Of his opponent. The
red ball was introduced as a novelty to
keep the game from dying out. As
time has gone on the game has had a
varied development in different coun-
tries. In Spain they play with three
balls and five wooden pins are set up
in the middle Of the table. In Russia
they play with five balls. two white
and red. blue and yellow one.
The English game Is played quite dif-
ferently from the American and
French games 1t is q combination Of
the American games OF both pool and
billiards. being played on a table hav-
ing pockets as In an ordinary pool
table. and the points as scored In both
of the American games being counted.
The French and American table with
out pockets and only "canons'' or
''caroms" are counted In America the
game Of billiards has undergone a
rapid development on account Of the
great skill acquired by American play
ers. Early in the last century the
game was commonly played with four
balls upon a pool table. more OF less
like the present English game. for both
pocketing balls and making caroms
were counted. but In time this style
Of playing proved so simple that a
table was adopted without any pockets
In it-and caroms only were counted
Outing.
