CORRESPONDENCE MATCH BETWEEN TWO BLIND FLAYERS.
Mr W. Bennett, of the St. Rollex Drai7ghts Club, Scotland, has just com. pleted a match of four games with Mr J. Day, of Rotherham—a player who, like Mr Bennett, has the misfortune to be totally deprived of sight- The result was that Mr Bennett won two and two were drawn. We append the four games, for which we are indebted to the Glasgow " Weekly Herald" :— Game No. 31.—"Denny." Day's move.
*13-9 looks like a win for White — W.B. [The above note is rather amusing. Mr 8., no doubt, meant to say that 13.9 fe1t like a win for White.—D. Er>. E.S.] Game No. 32—"Ayrshire Lassie." Bennett's move.
Game Imo. 33.—" Double Corner." Bay's move.
Game No. 34.—" Black Switcher." Bennett's move.
