W. A. Pennell and R. C. K. Johnson Each Record Breaks of 188 in succession Tt is not often spectators watching the play. on club billiard tables: get such a treat as was afforded on Sunday at the Cercle Sportif.

Gibson started a game with Pennell while Johnson looked on.
Pennell played very indifferently fat first, and Johnson remarked to him that, after just finishing 900 up, he must be 16 which he replied, "Not at all" and, as if to ove it, he immediately proceeded 9 pile up a break off the red. the. white being in bulk, Playing with beautiful strength, he reached 188, [when unfortunately he played a lit-He too hard on the red, bringing it back just into bulk, which concluded the break.
'A fresh game was started, but Gibson found he would' not have time to complete it, and asked John-ron to take his cue, which he did jard immediately in turn started with break. Playing an all round game, he passed 100, and keeping rood control of the balls he reach fed the 188 mark, when, in attempting a slow screw cannon to put the ted over the pocket, the ball went Jdead against the cushion, off which hho failed to score.
Thus two breaks tly. 188 leach were registered almost within '5 minutes of each other, surely remarkable coincidence.
