In these dâk-bungalows, ghosts are most likely to be found, and when found, they should be made a note of. Seeing that a fair proportion of the tragedy of our lives in India acted itself in dâk-bungalows, I wondered that I had met no ghosts. Some reading was done; and much smoking and sewing, though not by the same parties; there were the monsters of the deep to be looked after and wondered at; strange ships had to be scrutinized through opera-glasses, and sage decisions arrived at concerning them; and more than that, every body took a personal interest in seeing that the flag was run up and politely dipped three times in response to the salutes of those strangers; in the smoking-room there were always parties of gentlemen playing euchre, draughts and dominoes, especially dominoes, that delightfully harmless game; and down on the main deck, "for’rard"-for’rard of the chicken-coops and the cattle-we had what was called "horse-billiards." Horse-billiards is a fine game. The difficulty he has arises out of Astill’s managing to avoid much in the way of controversy over his career and, playing for arguably the least "fashionable" of the First Class counties, not having participated in any famous matches.

He makes his ghost-seers talk familiarly, and, in some cases, flirt outrageously, with the phantoms. First one doolie came in, then a second, and then a third. There was never a sign of a doolie. There were three rooms, besides my own, which was a corner kennel, each giving into the other through dingy white doors fastened with long iron bars. There are said to be two at Simla, not counting the woman who blows the bellows at Syree dâk-bungalow on the Old Road; Mussoorie has a house haunted of a very lively Thing; a White Lady is supposed to do night-watchman round a house in Lahore; Dalhousie says that one of her houses "repeats" on autumn evenings all the incidents of a horrible horse-and-precipice accident; Murree has a merry ghost, and now that she has been swept by cholera, will have room for some sorrowful ones; there are Officers' Quarters in Mian Mir whose doors open without reason, and whose furniture is guaranteed to creak, not with the heat of June but with the weight of Invisibles who come to lounge in the chairs; Peshawar possesses houses that none will willingly rent; and there is something-not fever-wrong with a big bungalow in Allahabad.

No one was putting his luggage into the next room. Every step or bang of a trunk echoed from my room down the other three, what is billiards and every footfall came back tremulously from the far walls. I applaud the companies that are withdrawing support of the Olympics, I feel terrible for the atheletes most of whom are probably not involved at all in any of that crap, and just want to show their skills, but enough is enough, it's time for the wokes and the satanists and pedophiles and loonie toonies to crawl back under their rocks and await the final judgement. The game is 100, and four can play at a time. The time has come to look for light and leading outside the confines of our own Book of Rules. In conclusion, understanding the rules of billiards is essential for players of all levels. In 9-ball, players must pocket the balls in numerical order, with the 9-ball serving as the game-winning ball. You may treat anything, from a Viceroy to a Vernacular Paper, with levity; but you must behave reverently toward a ghost, and particularly an Indian one. We must congratulate ourselves that the glorious element of humour is never quite absent from golf, serious though the game and the Scotch nation be.

THE PLAYER POCKETING HIS GROUP FIRST AND THEN LEGALLY POCKETING THE 8-BALL WINS THE GAME. Then he jabbers and mows and trembles and fidgets among the dishes, and you repent of your irritation. Billiards Cues: Billiards cues feature a medium-weighted cue (17-21 ounces) with a moderate taper and a tip diameter typically ranging from 11-12mm. This configuration balances the power and precision necessary for carom shots on pocketless tables. It may be inferred that it developed from a variety of games in which propelling a ball was a main feature. Their feet are turned backward that all sober men may recognize them. Nerves appear to be absent one day and painfully present another: so there are red-letter days when even a nervous man can putt, but the more nervous a man is the worse will he putt, and in no other part of the game will he find nerves play such demoniacal tricks.
