out with Webb far behind, with one ball five arches and the other still at home. With his second ball coming home. Clark tried for the center arch three times before he got his ball by. Then he ran out quickly. Loose play marked the opening of the game with Robinson, but Clark steadied down into splendid Gorm. His accurate dis tance shooting and h1s nicely placed caroms form a combination that again make him by far the most likely con tender for the championship. His score is now four strarght
 Kirk Contributed Remarkable Shot.
 Ex-Champion J. c. Kirk contributed one of the real features of the day by a remarkable shot which won him his game with H. T. Webb, his fellow club member. Kirk was for the caeg, and in trying for the set up his ball was wired as a result of the split. He shot to the opposite bank for a carom, and the ball came back and, just missing the ball that was almost in front of the cage, his carom went safely through. It was a rare shot, and the ex-preSident drew forth great applause. Webb was taken back by the play and Kirk ran out his balls.
 
 Thursday, when he met Felton. the Philadelphian. who had been putting up gilt edged ball up to yesterday, and olnplayed him with ease. It was the third successive year that Kirk had beaten Felton. and he seemed to do II much the same way that he himself continues to get a yearly trimming by Jacobus.

 Long Session in Second Division.
 In the second disvision L. c. Will | Hanson still stands without rival | although he met his first defeat Thurs 1 day at the hands of Dr. Hugo S 1 Thomson. The latter featured in thi! | game with a number of long shots, a
 which he is especially proficient, anC 1 his shot from a wide angle througf l the center arch was a bit of work tha | undoubtedly won him the game. Will
 liamson and Spellman of Willimantlt were the contestants in the longeS game of the tournament They start | ed out at II o'clock, took intermisslo1
 enough for dinner, and then went bacl
 on the court and played until botf
 were pretty well tired out. They end | ed their session at 3.30, and William l son won by a small margin, SpellmaT | having all but four arches. The cen | ter arch gave the players much trou- | ble, being a trife too wide, so that the balls of each rolled out between | number of times. Then when William l son made the cage, going back he toof | along Spellman's clip instead or nl'
 own. He discovered it before Spell
 man did. and the referee decided tha | he should start back at the cage, A1tel 1 their interesting, even though long or deal. Williamson and Speilman decld'
 ed to rest the remainder of the day. 1 The games on Thursday were Ai | follows;
