New York, Oct. 6.-Two men who hold bill
Hard championships will soon be called on to
defend their titles, and the resulting contests
should furnish New Workers with the most in
teresting cue battles ever seen in America.
New York will be the center Of billiard activ-
ity this winter, all the American experts re-
naming at home for the reason that all for
eigners have been barred in Paris, which for
years has been the mecca of the cue artists
Therefore billiard enthusiasts of America will
have chance to get acquainted with their
own champions. The opening encounters of the
season will bring together the four leading ex-
pcrts of the world-George Sutton, Jacob
schaefer. Willie Hoppe and George slosson.
1t will be Chicago against New York, as it
has been in baseball, and it is doubtful if the
windy city makes clean sweep with the ivory
spheres they did with the baseballs. The
local champions, Willie Hoppe, at 1871; George
Slosson, at 1872, preparing themselves for a
great struggle, and if the Chicagoans win they
certainly will be aware they have been en-.
gagged in contest.

Some Postscripts.

Lord Nelson's sarcophagus in
St. Paups cathedral has been aptly
described as a secondhand national
tomb, for it was originally con-
structed for another great En-
glishman-Cardinal Wolsey. VOL
sey had cherished an ambition to
be buried within the precincts of
Windsor castle, and caused his
sarcophagus to be carved by one of
the most famous sculptors of his
time. But Wolsey died in disgrace
and the sarcophagus remained
empty at Windsor until Nelson S
death, when it was thrifty en-
ployed to hold the body of the hero
of Trafalgar.

that you love her without you as

you but little effort to tell her and
your words may bring more JOY
