Americans Beat King George At Balmoral In Billiards
Washington guest George H Merrill became the first American to defeat King George at billiards in Balmoral Castle during a Scottish visit. The jovial match ended with Merrill twenty points ahead, and the cue symbolized the win as Merrill returned to Washington with it. London braces for a bustling fall with many debutantes and bridal events as American hostesses plan a season of short, bright parties at Savoy and Claridge’s.
