To the Editor of THE BILLIARD NEWS:
SIR—Allow me to call your attention to the fact that seats for the championship match on the 20th instant can only be booked at Cook's Rooms, in Regent-street, and at St. James's Hall. Now as there are as many lovers of billiards in the City and East End as there are in the West, why should we not have the same opportunity of booking our places that we have with all the theatres, say at Keith and Prowse's, Hays's, &c., &c.?—I remain, yours truly, South Hackney. H. H. F.
C. G. R., Wolverhampton.—If brown put down green, and fouled a ball whilst his own was in motion, green does not lose a life, but remains in hand until it is his turn to play, and the brown ball remaining where it became stationary, is played on by blue, and if pocketed loses a life. If the brown stopped after playing on the green, and the foul occurred in attempting to play another stroke at the nearest ball, then green would lose a life, and the foul apply to the second stroke.
