CHESS CHAMPION ARRIVES
GREATER INTEREST IN GAME IN AUSTRALIA (PBESS ASSOCIATION TXZJCOBAX.) AUCKLAND, June 22. Gregory Koshnitsky, former chess champion of Australia, and the present chanjpion of New South Wales, arrived by the Wanganella at Auckland this morning on a tour of New Zealand. Interest in the game of chess, he said, was on the up-grade in Australia, and with the large amount of leisure that people to-day enjoyed chess should attract additional votaries. He recommended reasonable club fees, as chess could always be played in homes without cost.
The civic authorities of Manchester have discovered the first mayoral chain and seal in the town clerk's safe, where it has lain forgotten for 87 years, enclosed in its case.
