Game of billiards, pool or snooker
Llandudno Advertiser and List of Visitors, Thursday, March 24, 1898
OWNER writes that my remarks last week are apt to be a trifle misleading re appendages hanging from the ceiling of a billiard saloon. It is true that they are for saving the chalk, but in addition they can be used for “fly-catchers” in the summer months, chandeliers, weights, cigar cutters, tobacco jars, bedstead knobs, and last, but not least, as at present arranged, they are invaluable for amusing the children as has been proved, to say nothing of the games that some lunatics indulge in, especially at certain important points of the game of billiards, pool or snooker, antics that are calculated to upset the strongest nerves, and properly handled can win a game that seems hopeless.
