BILLIARDS.—RAPID SCORING.
W. J. Peall, who has worked his way into the front rank of English billiardists, has beaten all the records by scoring 1000 in unprecedented time. He was playing a match of 1000 up against the celebrated spot-striker W. Mitchell, of Sheffield, the latter owin<* 100. Peall commenced with a break of 325 (106 spots), and his next break of consequence was 120. After minor contributions he ran out with an unfinished break of 374, having scored the 1000 while Mitchell and accomplished the feat in the wonderful time of 44 minutes, which is the fastest on record. In the evening, at a similar game, he beat Mitchell by 672 points, and made breaks of 164/285, and 121 (137 spots).
