It was onco sald in Puuch that great advantage of Snooker Billiards was that you had ever so many more balls on the table, and were faced with nothing

to think about than knocking one of them into a pocket some where—a platement which, paycho- logists may suggest, comes nearer than many to explain the present- day popularity of the twenty-two ball game over that played three.

How great this popularity is can be reckoned by the fact that in the ordinary public saloon Snooker out- weighs Billiards by every bit of 85 per cent; the head marker of a large West End club says that the mem- bers play ninety gamen of the one for every ten of the other. Long past are the days when the bottle- shaped basket in the village pub, contained a few mottled, near-round objects, and not even a quorum at that, and Mr. Gillett, of Messes, Thurston's, estimates that, in the last three years,

the sale of sets of Snooker balls to every kind of es- tablishment is greater than that of the preceding ten years.

Of course, it was the "professors" who began it, andto quote Mr. Gillett once again-the boom began when the public became attracted by the Championship in the 1833-4 sea- son. The four-figure break at billiards, while having its definite appeal to those who appreciate the long-drawn-out by reason of

the very quietness of the artistry which produces it, became more and more caviare to the general.

Spectators grew increasingly ena moured of the cuemanship which River ball-control and position- though it is probably an illusion that this is greater in Snooker of the accurate picking of a red out of the pyramid, of the thud of the potted object, of the rack-like steadiness of
