English
Billiards.
English
Billiards,--the
best
of
all
the
games,--is
usually
played
50
or
100
up.
The
points
are
thus
reckoned--three
for
each
red
hazard,
two
for
each
white
hazard,
and
two
for
each
canon.
A
coup--that
is
running
in
a
pocket,
or
off
the
table
without
striking
a
ball--is
a
forfeiture
of
three
points,--a
miss
gives
one
point
to
the
adversary.
The
game
commences
by
stringing
for
lead
and
choice
of
balls.
The
red
ball
is
placed
on
the
spot
at
the
top
of
the
table,
and
the
first
player
either
strikes
at
it,
or
gives
a
miss.
Every
time
the
red
ball
is
pocketed,
it
is
replaced
on
the
spot.
He
who
makes
a
hazard
or
canon
goes
on
playing
till
he
fails
to
score.
Then
the
other
goes
on,
and
so
they
play
alternately
till
one
or
other
completes
the
required
number
of
points,
and
wins
the
game.

Pyramids.
Pyramids
is
a
game
played
by
two
persons,
or
by
four
in
sides,
two
against
two.
Fifteen
balls
are
placed
close
together
in
the
form
of
a
triangle
or
pyramid,
with
the
apex
towards
the
player,
thus:

The
centre
of
the
apex
ball
covers
the
second
or
pyramid
spot;
and
the
first
player
strikes
at
the
mass
with
a
white
ball
from
baulk.
Pyramids
is
a
game
consisting
entirely
of
winning
hazards,
and
he
who
succeeds
in
pocketing
the
greatest
number
of
balls,
wins.
A
single
point
is
scored
for
each
winning
hazard,
and
a
forfeiture
of
a
point
for
each
losing
hazard;
the
game
being
usually
played
for
a
stake--so
much
(say
6d.)
a
ball,
and
so
much
(say
1s.
6d.)
for
the
game.
