AN EXPERT
Does Wonderful Things with Pool
Balls.'
Chas. E. Blodgett, the champion
Chinese billiard expert of the world,
last evening at Eagle's gave an exhibi.
tion in the manipulation of pool balls
that was wonderful, showing what long
and continued practice will do. With
two cues he rolls the ball down againBt
the object ball, making his pool every
time and some in a marveloous manne ',
Eutting an English on that can hardly
e given a ball with the cue itself.
Then he juggles the balls on the cues,
presenting many tricks beyond compre
hension. The balls are made to roll up
hill, two in opposite direction, com
pletely at his command, etc.
Besides many interesting tricks Mr.
Blodgett gives a history of the game,
three thousand yeais old, first played
on the ground, then on tables. Eng
lishing a ball is from the name of the
man who discovered the trick.
Billiards and pools are not only clean
games in themselves, . but they are
Healthy ones, giving one-the kind of
exercise that most developes, offering
a splendid recreation and change from
the business of life, said Mr. Blodgett.
Mr. Blodgett is a man sixty-four
years of age, a veteran of the civil
war. being in it when a boy, well pre
served, with Drospocts of a long life.
He has been at Chinese pool player for
twenty-eight years, and is certainly a
genius with the ivories.

RUN OVER,
Bridge Carpenter Loses Both
Legs.
A serious and very peculiar accitWnt
happened on the Springfieid road this
noon. Mr. Sam Cochran and a young
man, bridge carpenters, who had been
working at Priceboro, wore coming this
way, five miles'this side of Cobiirg, on
a velocipede, in a dense fog, both sitting
on a board placed across the car. They
did not observe the approach of the
tram from behind until it was almost
on them, when the young man managed
to iau on away trom the track. This
let Mr. Cochran fall directly upon the
track in the middle, tangled up in the
ve ocipede which was hit and smashed
under the train. Both of Mr. Cochran'B
legs were run over, one at tho ankle,
the other higher up. The engineer saw
the men and stopped the train at once.
