opponent of 1he previous evening and complained of his bad luck in en- countering t@O such opponents on sue cessiye nights. Then Carr proclaimed his identity.
 Edwin kentfeld Of Brighton was the next champion, and held the title without dispute until John Roberts. ST., father of the great player of UO- day, came on the scene. Roberts was the manager of the Union, Club rooms in Manchester, and being ambitious to encounter Kentfeld made 9 journey to Brighton especially for the purpose. Kentfleld was not eager to run any risk of losing his title. and thus it hap pened that one of the most epoch mak- ing matches of billiards was played in a room with the door locked and not a singlespectator save the players them selves. It was Kentfield who took Roberts into the room and locked the doors.
 They agreed to play without any stakes at first. and Roberts at once went ahead; so much So that at last he protested. This, Mir. Kentfield, cannot be your game. If you play ill this manner I can give you 40 in 100. If you are withholding your powers for the purpose of obtaining a bet, am willing to recommence the game and to play you for G5." The story goes that Kentfield suggested that they should play for 9l,OOO, but eventually ten games for e10 each were agreed upon. Kentfield won two out of three, and then, declaring that he had established his claim to the championship, the series terminated.
 One of the greatest matches in bil- Hard history was that in which sev- eral years later Cook defeated this same Roberts for the championship. The match. which was the talk of Eng land, took place at the St. James hall in 1870, and it was indicative Of it's ln- terest and importance that King Ed ward, then Prince Of Wales, was a spectator of it throughout
 Towards the end of last year an en- durance match was played at a well known billiard ball in the West End of London between MT. G. w. Hayman and Mir. F. Booker, who agreed t9 play each other for twenty-four successive hours, the one who scored most points in that time to be the victor. Mr. Hay man won, with 8 score of 5,O4S to his opponents 5,O24. To give himself every comfort one of the players ap- peared in a flannel shirt and pair Of very old boots. They played all through the night unceasingly, but to- ward morning complained that both balls and cues became desperately heavy.

FEATs OF BILLIARD PLAYERS.

Stories of Jack Carr, the First Cham pion-SOme Great Matches.
 There have been days in the past when great feats on the billiard table have created as much sensation throughout the land as any happening in the world of sport, says the London Tit-Bits.
 The first sensation of the series was that made nearly 100 years ago. just at the time when billiards were first con- ing in as popular pastime, and the maker of it was Jack Carr, who gen orally acknowledged to have been the first billiard champion.
 Carr was marker at the public bil- Hard rooms at Bath, which were much frequented by the social personages of the day who visited the place. There were no fancy shots in billiards at that time, and Carr, developed an idea which he had obtained from his en- employer MT. Bailey, invented the first, which was the side stroke. By it's means he managed to do shots on the table which few had ever dreamed were possible, and nobody except those who saw him play would be- Iieve that he could do them. Enthusi- asts came down from London in the coaches by the hundreds to see Carr make the balls perform their wonder full evolutions. But though he made the shots he declined to tell anybody how he did them. and they could not discover it from his quick method of play.
 At last, conceiving that there was money in his secret, he gave out that his strokes were entirely due to the use of a particular twisting chalk" as he called it, of his own invention, with which he chalked the end of his cue. His story was generally be- ! lieved, and he was begged to put his twisting chalk" on the market, which he did He spent all his leisure time in his private room cutting up and putting into fancy pill boxes the ordinary chalk which he obtained from MT. Bailey, and which was sup piled to the customers in the room in the ordinary course, and these pill boxes of twisted chalk' he sold in hundreds, as fast as he could make
 hem up, at 2s. Sd a box.

Berlin, June 27.-The German answer
to the French note on the proposed
Moroccan conference was sent to Paris
yesterday. A high official near Chan
cellor Won Buelow asserts that the Ger
man note, while perfectly amiable in
form, insists on a conference and also
declines to comply with Frances re-
quest that Germany outline beforehand
the program Of the conference.
The chancellor took the stand that
the Moroccan question is an interna-
tional affair and that Germany, having
accepted the sultan's Invitation to a
conference, cannot rightly agree with
any single power as to what can be dis
cussed at the conference. Germany in
sists that France must agree to the

made respecting the discussion. After

Il INDIAN MASSACRE
Yaquis Kill Men, Women and
Children on Ranches in
Mexico.

Tucson, Ariz., June 27.-At least
twelve ranchers and several women and
children have met death at the hands
of band of hundred Yaqui Indians
who have been raiding the country
along the San Miguel river, in the Ures
district Of Sonora, Mexico, and a party
composed largely Of American mining
men, headed by Joseph Dewitt, has gone
out from Pozo station to rescue the I'M
fortunates, who are in danger of mas
sacre by the Indians.
DR.. Frank J. Tousissant brought the
details of the trouble, which began last
Friday. After several families had been
murdered by the Indians, the ranchers
made a determined stand at Buenos
Ayres ranch, where, aided by thirty
employees, they succeeded in repulsing
the Indians, altho Jesus Ortendo, pro:
'prietor of the place, his brother, Fran,
cisco Louis Carranza, proprietor of an
adjoining ranch, and several Other
neIg1hbors, died from wounds received

in a ranch house and fought from the
windows and roof. 1t is thought that
fully twenty Indians were killed.
The nearest armed force, stationed al
Ures, has been sent to the scene. Five
Yaquis taken just outside Lachumata
and thought to have taken part in the
massacre, were Immediately hanged.

The announcement by him Of the
