The Farmer From Richelieu River (Original. J A finely equipped billiard ball In ' Montreal was kept by an expert with the cue. Indeed, be held a champion's trophy. During the daytime there were few people to use his tables, end If any one desired a game tbe proprie tor would accommodate him. One aft ernoon a farmer whoee lineaments were French strolled into tbe place and seemed greatly pleased with It "Would you like to play a game?" asked tbe proprietor. The farmer admitted that be bad beard a great deal about billiards and bad come to Montreal especially to play a game. Tbe proprietor called for a set of balls, handed tbe farmer a cue and. unlocking a private rack, took down bis own cue. How much you play fort" asked the farmer. "1 don't play for money." "Whatl Nothing to mak eat Inter esting?" If you like we'll play for refresh ments/' ''Refreshments! What Is that?" "Drinks, cigare, anything yon like." ''Ver' well. How much de game?" "Oh. we'll play till yon are satisfied that I can beat you." Meanwhile several loiterers gathered around to see the expression that would come over the farmer's face when be saw the proprietor counting as much as be liked. Tbe farmer was given the first Bhot. He took a long time to make up his mind what to do and when It was made up did a great deal of sawing with hia cue. He missed the shot be tried for, but "scratched" one point. The proprietor then attempted to ahow the spectators a very difficult round table shot, but having no Incentive, played carelessly j and missed. "Go ahead." he Bald to his opponent \ "You say we play till I am satis fied?" he asked. "That was the understanding." "I am satisfied. 1 atop." There was a burst of laughter from the onlookers, for tbe "house" bad lost tbe refreshments. Now. It happened that an amateur player, an expert, was looking on who was not as averse to betting money as the proprietor. When the latter threw down his cue and ordered tbe refresh ments the expert went up to the farm er with outstretched hand and told him he was tbe cleverest countryman that had ever honored Montreal with his presence. Then be offered to play him a friendly game for a nominal stake. The farmer accepted, and the game be gan. The expert played aa badly as he could, but not badly euougb to let tile farmer beat him. which he intended In order to draw his dupe Into his net. Bnt the more the farmer lost tbe more he Insisted on playing further au-.l. to regain hia losses, continually suggested a raising of tbe stake till he bod lost In round numbers $250. Then be got very much excited. Drawing a wallet from bis pocket, be showed bis enemy $250 In bills, which be agreed to put up C. : $250 In bills, which be agreed to put up In ease be could get odds, of 4 to 1. The exnert. with well feigned reluc tance. at last agreed, and. getting the mouey from the proprietor, tbe stakes were placed In tbe latter's bands. The expert won first shot and ran 63 points, the game beiug 100. Then the farmer chalked his cue. looked at tbe balls and begun to play I1U first shot was a difficult masse, with a draw nearly the full length of tbe ta ble. and he made it beautifully. From tbat be proceeded to make one difficult shot after another, always leaving the balls In the position he desired. A crowd gathered around, and It was soon apparent to them that no such handling of billiard halls had ever been seen In Montreal. The game being a short one, it seemed that the player was ambitious to make nearly all the j points by difficult shots. He missed no ■hot at all till he bad counted 100 points and won $1,000. From the moment the farmer made the first shot the expert, who was the best amatenr player In the city, had made np hia mind that be had fallen Into his own trap. When the money was paid over to the farmer the loser ■aid to him: "Now that you've been paid tbe bet perhaps you won't mind telling us who yon are?" "1 got leetle farm down on de Riche lieu riviere," said the fanner. "Rats!" aaid bis questioner and, turn tgg on hia heel, left the place. Then tbe fanner called for refreshments and Invited hie admirers to partake of them. Now, there was a billiard match to be played that night between the cham pion of tbe United States from New York and the champion of France from Parla. This was mentioned to tbe farmer, and be manifested a desire to see the match. Promising to meet his new made friends at the place ap pointed for the game, he left them to go to sapper. Meanwhile it was reported that La noroux, tbe French champion, who had been expected to arrive in the city daring the day, had been detained. Those who bad been amusing the farm er from the "Richelieu riviere" went to the ball, fearing that they might be , deprived of tbe expected treat Bnt j on reaching it they were Informed that Lanoroux bad arrived, thoagb only in ! time for supper. When a side door ! opened and the contestants appeared ! those who had met the farmer were as tonished to see him in the person of the French champion. He won tbe match, and it was aa ■ Minced tL-t îjc would give $1.000 to tfie Montreal poor. F DOUGLAS SMYTHE.

De spite all ths bearish news, the wheat market was firm and steady. Trad ing was very light. All Interest seem ed to be centered In the corn and oat pita. The closing was steady at 78 %c for the May option, 14 c above yester day's close. Com. The corn market was strong and active throughout the session today. It looks as though the market had gained Its second wind and was ready for another substantial rise. May closed at 46%@46%c, a gain of %c for the day. Oats. The oat market was spasmodic. The presence of Patten In the pit this morning put the bears to flight, and their bidding boosted the market up to : 40 (4c, an advance of %c. Patten seems to have the situation well In hand, and made good his pre diction of a few weeks ago that May oats would sell at 40c. He reduced his line hut very little today and sold none under 40c.
