The following game is an exception to the general rule tkat is followed by the draughts press in only publishing games where eacii side is of equal forces au the commencement. The present game is the outcome ol a friendly snatch between Mv A. Hynd, the English champion, and a well-kno-,\ a member of a Manchester cub, whe'eby the former conceded the odds ol a man, lcceiving in turn the odds of tiie draw. The game is, of course, of no practical value, but it is interesting on account of the neat "shot" that concluded it.—
