A SHOT AT BILLIARDS.
Hoppe Calls It the Most MOment0us in His Experience.


 in His Experience. William Hoppe, the young cham pion of the world at IS inch balk line billiards, one shot fin, and holder of the worlds record run of BOT for IS inch balk line, two shots in, was ask ed the other day what shot, of any, he considered the most momentous of his career. In January last Hoppe defeated Maurice vignaux in Paris and wrestled the 19:1 title away from the veteran Frenchman. He told of shot in that game which came as near as any to being turning point in his struggle for premier hon0rs. It was the winning of that game that brought him the shortstop class up to the masters class-ranked him among the top notchers.
 "The most important shot, to mo of that game" said Master William twas at the beginning of the second inning of the second half of the con- test. In Paris there is a recess when one of the players has reached the half way mark in points The game was close enough, when the second half began. to be either mans For the shot I am telling you about the balls were lined up, extending diag- onally out from the side rail. The cue ball was furtherest from the rail and outside the other two. The cut ball went from the first object ball to the side rail and then to the second bal catching the second ball on the far edge. The shot gave me position, and I ran 93.
 "If I had missed I would have left position for vignaux. and the chances are that he then would have caught his stroke first instead of me. A great deal depended on which of us got his stroke first. and I consider that shot the most important in the game. Anyway, he did not play well after that, and he told me after the game that that shot beat him."

At the three-quarter l mark Colonel Anderson broke, and 1t looked all of, but he steadied up and finished strong, nosed out Casan- I dra and took the money. The sum- l mary of the race Is as follows:

OAKVlLLE HAPPENINGS

The peanut man received another large consignment of peanuts yester- day and is doing thriving business. It may be of local interest to note that this vender has received, since start ing here this spring, around the latter part of May, just 6.O00 pounds of peanuts and expects to dispose of as many more before the season closes. These facts show the Oakvillites to be heavy feeders on peanuts. The red lemonade statistics are not ob- tainable.
 D. J. Rosco has returned to South Norwalk after several days visit with his sister, Mrs w. W. Jerman, on Newton Heights.

THE WORK OF THE WINDS.
Moving Sand Dunes That Bury Villages
and Shoal Sounds.
National Geographic Magazine.]

National Geographic Magazine.l
The prevailing winds from a little
west of south have rippled the hetero-
geneous sands on Hatteras, just south
of the cape on Shackelford at it's
Southwest extremity, and on the south
west side of Smiths Island. These
wind ripples, started in sands exposed
by the removal of strip of forest next
the shore, have grown in size to great
sand waves, which are advancing on
forests. fields and homes. AS the sand
wave has advanced it has taken up
several feet of the loose soil over which
ii has passed. undermining houses, lay
ing bare the roots of trees and expos
ing the bones of the dead in the ce1ne-
teries.
Diurnal winds from the sea have
piled the sands into small, wandering
dunes and hillocks, and even sometimes
into sand waves, which are marching
steadily inward and shoalirg the
waters of the sounds. At Nays Head
a large hotel, constituting a solid OBJ
struction, soon had a sand wave built
up a short distance in its rear, until
the level of its roof was reached, when
the wave moved forward and engulfed
the hotel. In the immediate neighbour
hood two cottages suffered a similar
fate. Here the Land gained on the
sound $50 feet in ten years.
On the northern end of Hatteras Is
land fishing village had been SINH
larly buried, while the sand had entire
ly crossed the island at several places
north of the cape. This movements Of
the sand was started just after the civil
war by the cutting of trees next the
shore for ship timbers, and the section
is still known as the Great Woods, tho
not a stick of timber stands upon it
today. Pamlico Sound for two miles
from the Hatteras shore is growing
steadily shallower from the deposit of
blown sand.
On Smiths Island a pilots village
has been buried beneath the sand wave
for number of years, but this has
been quite recently resurrected, and it's
houses are again occupied. On Curri-
tuck, below Caffey's Inlet life saving
station, the sand has advanced entire
ly across the land, and one man, NOV
ing before the advancing sand, has at
last built his house on piles in the
sound.
