BILLIARDS

ALCOCK BILLIARD DINER TOURNAMENT. A largo number •of spectators were treated to a very good display of billiards at Messrs. Aleoclc and C'o.'s showrooms last evening. Tho first two games, Isaac v. Green, and Porter v. Sindull, although' not brilliant, produced some very meriforious play, and were won by narrow margins. The star game of the evening lias between. Tucker (owe 250)' and Goldio (receive 75). ! For the ' first 'ten minutes play was about even. Tucker then got going, and compiled a very nioe G3. This was followed by. a 3li, Goldie, in the meantime, being unfortunate in the run of the balls. For a tinio play, was uninteresting; Tucker, however, again got-going and compiled the best breai yet made in the billiard diner tournaments, viz., 91. FroAi this on the was never in doubt, and Tucker finally ran out a winner by about 50 points. The postponed game Burd ,(owe 50) v. Hemingway (recoivo 60) proved a runaway gamo lor the latter, who showed really good form. : The best breaks were: Tucker, 1)1, 63, 27, 21; Porter, 58,'27; 22; Green, 88, 27, 21; Hemingway, 22, 21; Isaac, 28, 20; Sindall, 26, '22, 23. This evenjng Fraser meets Hart, Delatour meets Hemingway, H«mpton meete Porteous, and Bradley meets .''ohnson.
