LOOSE COVERS.

Now is the time for re-newing your old ones. When selecting materials it is generally a good. plan to choose a Fabric that will give an effect of harmony and restfulness. But at the same time, you must remember that covers for Settees and Chairs get a Lot of Hard Wear, and only such materials should be chosen on which the good wearing qualities are guaranteed.

Club de Recreio v. Kowloon Dock.

A year ago this match was won by the home team by 62-50. After their tie with Taikoo a week ago they should consider their chances to-morrow very good... On the other hand, the Dock have some good fighters, and will make the Club de Recreio go the whole way.

Taikoo v. K.GC. Taikoo won a year ago by 75-47, and the composition of their rinks to-morrow suggests that they are likely to win again, even though the margin be smaller. So far the Taikoo Club have won one, lost one, and drawn one, whilst the K.C.C. have won one and lost two.

Second Division.

The Civil Service C.C. are at home, to the Craigongower C.C. and as they lost last season by 58-53 they may, expect to be push- ed all the way to-morrow. Whilst the Civil Service have won three games, the Craigengower have won only, one, so that, this sea-i aon's form favours the former if they exercise a little care.

Electric v. Talkoo,

The home team won last year by 64-59. This year the Electric have lost three matches and the Talkoo two matches (the latter having played only, two). A win for the Electric would please their supporters immensely, but Takon may also consider that it is time that they began to collect some points.

BILLIARDS.

Two Players Go to Law.

SCENE IN TAXI-CAB

Clark McConachy, professional billiards player, was at Manchester on April 6 bound over to be of good behaviour toward Willie Smith, an other billiards professional, April 10, on which date ho left Britain. A summons against Mc- Conachy alleging that he assaulted Smith in a taxi-cub was dismissed.

Mr. Butlin, for Smith, said that. the two men were playing at Man- chester, the deciding game of a match on March 31. McConachy made complaints about the billiards balls and the cloth on the table. He said the ball he was using was not in ordor, and Smith said he was willing to use it. They exchanged, and Smith was still using the alleged defective ball.

Later, Me. McConachy declared the balls were not a neutral set and that they were a set belonging to Smith. He asked if they could be weighed.

The two players and the referee went to Burroughes and Walta" pre- mises, and while in the taxi-cab on the way, McConachy, said Mr. Butlin, repasted that "they are not a neutral act. They are Smith's set." Smith replied, "that's a lie and you know it is."

D

McConachy stood up in threatening attitude, and said" to Smith, "I'll knock your head off," Smith tried to open the door, and McConachy struck him in the chest and knocked him back on to his seat. Then McConachy shouted, "I'H KU you before I leave Manchester."

Mr. Jess Rycroft, for McConachy, said that McConachy said that he made only genuine complaints. In the taxi-cab McConachy only put his hand on Smith's chest and said. "Sit down." The referce got hold of his arm, and, as there were two against him, he threatened to "Clean them both up."

It was found later that, though the balls were all of the weight, they were not all the same elze.
