junction with a height and, generál, appear, ance, might easily have passed for Wilkie Collins; another one Richardson, prided bim self upon his king resemblance, to Frederic Leighton, R.A while the last to join the party could very readily have been mistaken for George Augustus Sala, and certainly the crimson scarf and white waistcoat were in evidence to deceive the unwary.
These personal similarities had frequently formed the subject of good-humoured banter between ourselves, yet my own resemblance to Stanley had never struck myself or any of my companions. However, to proceed with the story, it became apparent on inquiry that neither of the six cronies had anything import. at to occupy him for that afternoon, so a suggestion was made that we formed a pool, of which I was constituted treasurer, and that the amount subscribed should be expended' over a snug little dinner at a famous restau- rant in Soho,
We thereupon proceeded to put our festire plan into execution, and chartering a couple of four-wheeled cabs, were driven to Church- street. Outside Kettener's restaur.nt we found a smail crowd collected. I was in the fore- most vehicle, and thus the first 10 alight. As stepped out one of the bystanders exclaimed, "There is Stanley!" Immediately grasping the situation, I rose to the, occasion, misis; my cap with an air of gracious condescension. This acknowledgment was the signal for a ringing cheer, then in an awed whisper came the announcement, "That's the Prince of Wales: " "Isn't that the Du-e of Edin burgh?" "Why, yes; of course it is Leighton, 1349 the great artist; Wilkie Collins, the author; and G. A. Sala, you could spot him anywhere." Each, on being recognised, bowed, and received a cordial ovation from the spectators.
Hearing the bubbub which our distinguish. ed arrival had caused, the proprietor, Mr. San Giorgi, who had fately married the widow of Kettener, advanced to the entrance, to whom i proceeded to address myself: -“We desire to have a private room; please remember that

HIS LONG AND FINE SHOTS AS GOOD AS LYEK,
The billiard match of 9,000 up between John Roberts and C. Harverson, in which the latter is allowed 2,250 points start, was continued at Messrs. Orme's Billiard Saloon, Manchester, yesterday (Nov. 18). The following notes on the play are contributed by Harverson:--
