RULES OF THE GAME OF BILLIARDS.
This Game is generally played Fifty or One Hundred up ; it is scored by
winning nazzards, losing hazards, cannons, coups, and misses,
which can bo made with the point or butt of any cue. Rests of
any description may be used.
1. — The choice of balls and order of play shall, un-
less mutually agreed upon by the two players, be
determined by stringing ; and the striker whose
ball stops nearest the lower cushion, after being
forced from baulk up the table, may take which ball
he likes and play, or direct his opponent to play first,
as he may deem expedient ; after the first game the
winner breaks the balls.
2.— The red ball shall, at the opening of every game,
be pl(\ced on the upper spot, and replaced aft being
pocketed or forced olf the table, or wheneve: balls
are broken, but if the upper spot be occupiea, me red
ball shall be placed on the centre spot, and if that also
be occupied on the pyramid spot.
3.— Whoever breaks the balls must play out of baulk,
tliough it is not necessary that he shall strike the red
ball, and he may give a miss in or out of baulk. The
baulk line is a protection throughout the game to any
balls behind it; viz., no player who is in hand is
allowed to strike any ball in. baulk unless his ball has
first been out of baulk.
4. — The player continues to play until he ceases to
score, when his opponent follows on.
[The scores are counted as below.]
5. — A two stroke is made by pocketing an opponent's
ball (i.e., a winning hazard), or by pocketing the
striker's ball off his opponent's (i.e., a logging hazard),
or by making a cannon ; to effect which the striker
must cause his ball to strike both the others,

BILLIARD RULES.

6. — A three stroke is made by pocketing the red
ball {i. e. , a red winning hazard), or by pocketing the
striker's ball off the red (i.e., a red losing hazard).
7. — A four stroke may be made by pocketing the
white and spot-white balls, or by making a cannon
and pocketing an opponent's ball, or by making a can-
non and pocketing the striker's ball, the non-striker's
ball having been first hit.
8. — A five stroke nay be made by scoring a cannon
and pocketing the red ball, or by a cannon and pocket-
ing the striker's ball after having struck the red ball
first.
9. — A six stroke is made by the red ball being struck
first, and the striker's and the red ball pocketed,
or by a cannon off an opponent's ball on to the red
and pocketing the two white balls.
10. A seven stroke is made by striking an opponent's
ball first, pocketing it, making a cannon, and pocketing
the red also, or by m dng a cannon and pocketing
the red and an opponent's ball, or by playing at an
opponent's ball first and pocketing all the balls with-
out making a cannon.
11. — An eight stroke is made by striking the red
ball first, pocketing it, making a cannon, and pocket-
ing the striker's ball ; or by hitting the red first j^d
pocketing all the balls without making a cannon.
12. — A nine stroke is made by striking an oppo-
nent's ball first, making a cannon, and pocketing all
the balls.
13. — A ten stroke is made by striking the red ball
first, making a cannon, and pocketing all the balls.
14. — If a player fails to hit another ball it is called
a miss, and counts one to his opponent ; but if by the
same stroke the player's ball is forced over the table or
into a pocket it is called a coup^ and counts three to his
opponent.
15. — Misses may be given with the point or butt of
any cue, if the player in giving a miss, shall strike his
!-m

ii'i
ball more than once, the non-striker may oblige him
to play the stroke again.
16. — The balls must have stopped rolling before
another stroke can be played, otherwise it is unfair,
and the opponent may claim to have any score so made
disallowed, and may take the lead in place of the last
striker by striker breaking the balls ; nor can any
score at any time be made unless the red ball is on the
table, and if any player scores before the red ball has
been spotted, his opponent may claim the above
penalty.
17. — If the player's ball touches another at the time
of playing, the player may either play for safety, or to
score, but the score so made does not count and the
red ball is spotted, and the balls are broken by his
opponent.
18. — If a ball rebounds from the table, and is pre-
vented in any way, or by any object except the
cushion, or gas fitting, from falling to the groand, it
shall be considered in hand, unless it is the red, which
must be spotted.
19. — Forcing any ball off the table, either before or
after the scoro, causes the player to gain nothing by
the stroke, and if a score be made, the balls must be
brqjsen by the opponent. If no score be made, the
opponent if left on the table, plays from where he is,
but if his ball has been forced off the table, he is con-
sidered in hand, and plays from the half-circle.
20. — In the event of either player using his oppo-
nent's ball and scoring, the score does not count, and
the red must be spotted, and the balls broken by the
non-striker, but if an opponent plays with the wrong
ball, and does not score, the next player may take his
choice of ball, find continue to use the ball he so choses
to the end of the game. No penalty, however,
attaches in either case unless the mistake he discovered
and claimed by the opponent before the next stroke.
21. — Ko person, except an opponent, has a right to
tell the player that he is using the wrong ball, or to
BILLIARD RULES.
51
inform the non-striker that his opponent has used the
wrong ball ; and if an opponent does not see the
striker use the wrong ball,'or seeing him,'does not claim
the penaVoy, the marker is bound to score an] points
made to the player.
22. — No benefit can accrue to the player if he scores
and makes either of the following foul strokes, pro-
vided his opponent sees him, and claims toul, viz.,
touching any ball with the dress, person, or cue (except
to make a stroke) or lifting both ftct oft* the floor when
playing.
23. — If in playing a stroke or a pushing stroke the
striker pushes or strikes more than once, or after his
ball has come in contact with another, it is unfair, and
any score he may make does not count, provided his
opponent claims foul. The next player follows by
breaking the balls.
24. — If in the act of drawing back his cue the striker
knocks his ball or any other ball into a pocket, it is
reckoned a stroke and counts three to the opponent.
25. — If either player takes up a ball, unless by con-
sent, the adversary may either have it replaced by the
marker, or may cause the balls to be broken ; but if
any other person touches or takes up a bail it must
be replaced as nearly as possible.
26. — If, after striking, the player or his opponent
should by any means obstruct or hasten the speed of
any ball, it is at the opponent's or player's option to
have them replaced, or to break the balls.
27. — A ball stopping on the brink of a pocket, need
not bo "challenged ;" if it remains stationary, and
afterwards falls in, it must be replaced, and the score
thus made does not count.
28. — The extreme penalty for scoring by any foul
stroke is losing the score so made, and also the lead,
as the red b%U must be spotted, and the balls broken
by the opponent, the player who made the foul follow-
ing suit. But if the foul is not claimed by the oppo-
nent the player continues his break.
52
UNITED EMPIRE CLUB.
29. — If when moving the cue backwarks and for-
wards, and prior to a stroke, it touches and moves the
player's ball, the ball must be replaced to the satisfac-
tion of the adversary, otherwise it is a foul stroke, ana
no score can be allowed ; but if the player strikes, and
grazes any part of the ball with any part of the cue, it
must be considered a stroke, and the opponent fol-
lows on.
30. — Or, if in taking aim the player moves his ball
and causes it to strike another, even without intending
at the time to make a stroke, a foul stroke may be
claimed by the adversary who follows on.
,31. — If in hand, and in the act of playing, the
striker shall move his ball with insufficient strength to
take it out of baulk, it shall be counted a miss to the
opponent, who, however, may have the option of
obliging the player to replace his ball and play again,
when any score is disallowed, but he cannot claim
both penalties.
32. — Should the striker, when in hand, in playing
up the table on a ball or balls in baulk, either by acci-
dent or design, strike one of them without first going
out of baulk, his opponent may have the balls replaced,
score a miss, and follow on, the striker being con-
sidered off the table ; or may cause the striker to play
again when any score is disallowed ; or may claim a
foul stroke and have the red spotted, and break the
balls.
33. — If a player be in hand and either the red ball
or his opponent's ball, or both, shall have stopped
directly on the baulk line, the opponent shall, before
the player proceeds, call on the marker to decide
whether or not the ball or balls may be played at, and
the marker shall call a ''line ball," in which case they
are not playable ; or "playable." as the case may be.
34. — No player is allowed to receive, nor any by-
stander to offer advice on the game, but should any
person be appealed to by the marker or either player,
he has a right to offer his opinion ; or if a spectator

but he must do so prior to another stroke being made.
35. — The game shall be adjudged in favour of who-
ever first scores the number of points agreed on, when
the marker shall call game;" or it shall be given
against whoever, after having commenced, shall
neglect or refuse to continue when called upon by his
opponent to play. " •
36. — The marker shall be first called on to decide
disputes or to act as umpii'e ; but if either player con-
siders that he has not decided the case on its merits,
the player may call on the spectators, the opinion of
• the majority of whom must be 'considered final.
RULES OF THE GAME OF POOL.
1. — As many balls as there are players must be
placed in a basket, shaken, and given out, one to each,
by the marker. Then the players start progressively,
as the colours are placed on the pool marking-board,
white spotting his ball on the top spot.
2. --Each player has three lives at starting. Red
plays from the half circle oi white, and yellow on red,
and so on, until the number is run through, each
person playing on the last ball. If, however, a miss
be given or a coup run, or losing hazard struck, the
next player plays at the nearest ball.
3. — The baulk is no protection under any circum-
stances.
4. — If a player should lose a life in any way, the
next player goes on at the nearest ball to his own ; if
the player's ball be in hanu, he plays on the ball
nearest to the centre of the baulk-line, whether in or
out of baulk. When a ball is played on and pocketed,
a life is taken off the colour on the score-board, but
should a player force the ball he plays on, off the table
the owner of such ball does not lose a life, but remains
in hand until it is his turn to play.
iifl;

51
UNITED EMPIRE CLUB.
5. — Should a doubt arise respecting the distance be-
tween balls , it must (if at the commencement of the
game, or if the player's ball be in hand) be measured
from the centre spot in the half circle to the top of the
object-balls ; but if the striker's ball be not in hand,
the measurement must be made from his ball to the
other ball or balls, and in either case decided by the
marker, or by a majority of the players. Should the
distances be equal, the owners of the nearest ball
must draw lots, and the loser is played on.
6. — The player may lose a life by any one of the
following means : — By pocketing his own ball ; by
running a ^oup ; by missing a ball ; by forcing his own
ball off the table ; by playing with or at a wrong ball ;
or by playing out of his turn ; but playing with a
wrong l3all when in hand, does not cause him to lose
a life, and the ball played with must be replaced
directly the mistake is discovered. He cannot, how-
ever, take a life, this being the penalty of his care-
lessness.
7. — Should the striker pocket the ball he plays on,
and by the same stroke pocket his own or force it o/er
the table, he loses a life, and not the person whose ball
he has pocketed.
8. — Should the player strike a wrong ball, he pays
forfeit to the person whose ball he ought to have
played at.
9. — If the striker misses the ball he ought to play
and strikes another ball, whether he pockets it or not
he loses a life, and not the person whose ball is hit ;
in the former case the striker's ball must be taken off
the table, and both must remain in hand until it be
their respective owner's turn to play.
10. — If the striker, whilst taking aim, enquires
which is the ball he ought to play at, and is misin-
formed by any one of the players or by the marker, he
does not lose a life ; the balls must, in this case, be
replaced, and the stroke played again.
I .
BILLIARD RULES.
55
11. — If any information be required by the player
respecting his ball or his turn to play, he has a right
to an answer from the marker or from the players.
12. — When a ball or balls touch the striker's ball,
or are in line between it and the ball he has to play
at, so as to prevent him hitting the object, they must
be taken up, and after the balls have ceased running,
replaced.
14. — Or if a ball or balls are in the way of the
strflcer's cue, so as in any manner to incommode him,
he can have them taken up.
15. — When the striker takes a life, he continues to
play at the nearest ball as long as he scores a wiixning
hazard, or until the balls are all off the table ; in which
case he places his ball on the spot.
15. — The first person who loses his three lives is
entitled to star, by paying into the pool the same sum
as at the commencement, for which he receives lives
equal in number to the lowest number of lives on the
board, but only one star is allowed in a pool.
16. — If the first person out declines to star, the
second out may do so ; and if the second refuses, the
third may ; and so on, until only two persons are
left in the pool ; in which case the privilege of starring
ceases.
17. — If the striker should move his own or another
ball whilst in the act of making a stroke, it is foul ;
and if by the same stroke he pockets a ball the owner
of the ball does not lose a life, and the ball must be
considered in hand ; but if hv the stroke he should
pocket his own ball or force it off" the table, he loses a
life.
18. — If the striker's ball touches the ball he has to
play at, he is at liberty either to play at it or at any
other ball on the table ; and he may take a life by
pocketing any ball so played on.
19. — After a hazard, if the striker should take up
his ball or stop it before it has done running, he can-
not claim the life or the stake from the person whose

ball he has pocketed ; it being possible that his own
ball might have run into a pocket if he had not
stopped it:
20. — If before a star two or more balls are pocketed
by the same stroke, including the ball played at, each
having one life, the owner of the ball first struck has
the option of starring • but should he refuse, the
colour standing first on the pool board shall have the
option.
21. — Should the striker's ball stop on the spot of a
ball removed, the ball which has been removed must
remain in hand until the place is unoccupied, and then
be replaced.
22. — Should the striker miss the ball played at, no
person is allowed to remove the ball till^it has ceased
running.
23. — If the striker should have his player's ball
removed, and stop on the spot it occupied, his ball
shall be taken up and his player's replaced, and the
player shall play on the nearest ball.
24. — If the striker have a ball removed, and any
other than the next player's ball should stop on the
spot it occupied, the ball removed must remain in
hand till the one in its place be played, unless it
should happen to be the turn of the owner of the one
removed to play before the one on its place ; in which
case that ball must give place to the one originally
taken up, and then be replaced.
25. — If the corner of a cushion r re vent the striker
from hitting a ball, he can (except in single pool) have
his ball sc placed by the marker, as will enable him to
play ; but he cannot take a life.
26. — The last two players must divide if they are
left with an equal number of lives each ; the striker,
however, is entitled to his strike before the division,
except in the case of a miss, coupj or losing hazard, by
the player last dead.
27. — All disputes must be decided by the marker, or
by a majority of the players.

RULES OF THE GAME OF PYRAMID POOL
As Revised by Mr Wm. Cooke, (Champion); Mr. Joseph Bennett,
(Ex-Champion), and other Professional Players.
1. — Pyramid is played with sixteen balls; viz., fifteen
red, and one white.
2. — The coloured balls are placed on the table in the
form of a triangle, the lowest ball or apex standing on
the winning spot.
3. — The players string or toss for the lead, both use
the white ball, and whoever pocketSjthe greater number
of red balls wins, and receives from his opponent the
difference between their scores.
4. — Whoever wins the string or toss may play first
or order his opponent to do so.
5. — The next player plays from the spot on which
the white is left by his opponent, except it should have
been pocketed or forced off" the table, in which case he
he plays from the baulk as at the commencement.
6. — Winning hazards alone score in favour of the
players, and the same rules are generally to be observed
as at common pool.
7. — If either player gives a miss, pockets the white
ball, or forces it over the table, he loses one; that is to
say, he must place one of the coloured balls which he
has pocketed on the winning spot, if unoccupied; if
occupied, the ball must be placed on the billard spot,
and if that be occupied as near as possible behind the
winning spot, and a point taken from his score. But
if he has not scored, he is said to owe one, and must pay
it when he is able.
8. — If the striker holds his own ball, or forces it over
the table, and at the same time pockets one or more of
the coloured balls, or forces them over the table, he
gains nothing by the stroke : the coloured balls so re-
moved must be spotted on the table, together with one
of the striker's coloured balls, as a penalty.
9. — If the white ball touches a coloured one, the
player may score all the coloured balls he pockets; he
cannot give a miss.
58
UNITED EMPIRE CLUB.
10. — Should the striker move any ball in taking aim
or striking, he looses whatever may be scored by the
stroke.
11. — If the striker forces one or more of the coloured
balls over the table, he does not score, andthe balls
must be replaced as in Rule 7.
12. — When all the coloured balls but one are pocketed,
the player who made the last hazard continues to play
with the white ball, and his opponent uses the red, as
at single pool.
13. — When only two balls are left on the table, should
the striker hold the ball he is playing with, or make
a miss, the game is finished, and his opponent adds one
to his score.
