A subscriber kindly writes to us:—"I have read with interest and profit, too, the first two numbers of The Billiard Monthly, upon which I hope I may be allowed to congratulate you. I regard the educational side as exceedingly valuable. The two numbers contain information which reveal many new possibilities to me, and open out the game in a way that no book has done that I have read. They are essentially practical, i.e., applied billiards."
