BILLIARDS.
PROFESSIONAL TOURNAMENT. The first game ■of the Alcock professional contest was commenced' last evening before a fairly good attendance of the public, Payne meeting Darby. Both cueists seemed to bo suffering a good deal from nerves, and, consequently, the opening stages were anything • but promising. Tho first hundred was reached by Payne, but Darby soon followed, the scores being called "108 plays 105," in favour of Payne. The game continued even to the end, Darby eventually winning by 18 points, neither player made any breaks of note. To-night Forrest (of Gisborne) meets Brower, play beginning at 7.30 o'clock.
