NEW BILLIARD TABLE.
New York Amateurs Make System
Eliminating Safety Play.

New York Amateurs Make System
Eliminating Safety Play.
New York amateur billiard players
are pracdcing on a new style table,
which is 5 by feet instead Of the reg
ulation size, Q by 412. On the new table
balk line billiards are being played. and
the square form does away with the
long drive, so that there is no advan-
tage which rail is selected by the
player.
1t has upset the play OF some OF the
cracks and puzzles them when angles
and force are considered. The three
cushion shot is very difficult to exc
cute, and simple caroms. single cushion
shots, draws and follows are about all
the style of shots any one but an ex-
pert can make. Another innovation Is
the use OF two red balls and one cue
ball In some games. Each player uses
the same ball and so eliminates very
largely the safety play. This game has
been popular In Paris for several years.

THE PITT HOUSE
is FOR SALE
n Has a Peculiar Interest For
Americans.
AS GREAT COMMONER LEFT IT

He Locked Himself in There, Suffering
Under Strange Malay. When
Breach With America Was Forming.
Had He Been Well Then the Worlds
History Might Have Been Different.
A historic mansion on the outskirts
Of London of especial interest to Amer
Tea is about to come under the auc-
tioneer's hammer 1t is Pitt House, or
Wildwoods. as It was originally called,
a house that had its part in one of the
most epoch making events in the
worlds history
1t was to this mansion, on Hamp-
stead heath. then the property of Lord
North. that William Pitt, the great
commoner," retired in August, 1866,
within a few days of his double eleva-
ton TO the premiership and to the
eardom of Chatham, remaining there,
physical and mental wreck, in COM
plete seclusion from both king and min
listers, for many months at one Of the
most critical periods of English his
tory, when the clash with the Amer
lean colonies reached its acute phase.
Had the great statesman been able to
be at his post during the memorable
year 1867 IT is not unlikely that his
torians dealing with events in the
American continent century and
half ago would have a vastly different
tale to tell.
The property. which will be offered
for sale early in November, has been
altered a good deal since then, inter-
nally perhaps more than externally,
but all that appertained to the Chat
lam incident has been kept religiously
intact
Pitts apartments remain as they
were, the most curious being an in
ner chamber on the top floor, the door
Of which is still fastened by the pad
lock that Pitt used. When the aged
earl required anything it was placed
in a recess outside this door. and in
answer to a knock he unlocked the
door. took what he wanted from the
recess and forthwith locked himself in
again. The floors of his private rooms
are still preserved as they WERE show
ing the ruts made by the wheels of his
invalid chair The oak cupboard in
which he kept his state papers is also
preserved
