Astonishing run at billiards.

--The Lavaca (Texas) Gulf Key mentions a most astonishing run at billiards. It was by Judge Hastings, of that town. He made seventeen points on the two reds and white, when he got the red and white cornered, and on these two made four thousand five hundred and eighty points, making the whole run 4,597. This is more by 217 points, than was ever before made in one run since the game was invented. He was occupied four hours.
