'chess' ■■■■" ♦ NEW ZEALAND'S FIRST CHESS i RALLY The "Easter Rally," which attracted chess players to Masterton from Wangarrai, Wellington, and various centres in the "Wairarapa, was a decided success. The fine weather enabled the visitors to make the most of the limited time available for sight-seeing, and the pleasure of their stiiy was.greatly enhanced through the many kind hospitalities extended by the iocal committee, of which Mr. G. A. Jones is chairman and Mr. A. Clemas is tho indefatigable hon. secretary. Mrs. Cleraas and her assistants were unremitting in the matter of providing refreshments at each of the five playing sessions. A dinner was held on Saturday evening, the toast list including "The King," "Chess" (Messrs. Barnes, Elcasants, and' Selling), "The Visitors" (Messrs'. W. H. Jackson and A. "W O. Davies), "Ouv Soliliers" (Mr. Lee), "Other Sports" (Messrs. F P. Welch and Grundy), and "Tho Press" (Messrs. O. Sykes,' M.P., and J A.. Cornell). Messrs. Rummer (2), Benton, Pleasant*, Oliver, and' Shaw kindly supplied cars on Sunday afternoon for a motor trip, which 'included Carterton, Gladstone, and the golf links, the view from which was greatly admired. Tho play, which was at the rate of 20 moves per hour, was of a high standard, and! the frequency with which players of repute woie fully extended by less known exponents of "the royal game" was a very gratifying feature. The major event was an interclub tourney, each team consisting of three players. Six clubs competed, the results being as follow :— Round I.—Wellington C.C. 3 (Davies 1, Connell 1, and Lee 1) v. "Wanganui 0 (O. 0. Pleasants 0, L. Pleasants 0, Walpole 0). Wellington Working Men's Club 2i(Barnes i, Kellin? 1, S. Faulknor 1) v. Masterton 5,- (F. Kummer 5, G. A. Jones 0, 0. W. Moore 0).

Wairarapa 1, and Wanganui 0. It had previously been arranged that in the event of a. tie the trophy should go to the team scoring the greater number of games. The Wellington Working Men's Club and Literary Institute thus won the contest by one point, the various tallies being as follow : W.M. Club 12i, Wellington C.C. 11$, Masterton '(%, South Wellington 6, Wairarapa 5, and.Wanganui*2jr. Mr. Barnes (captain) returned thanks for the felicitations extended to,the winning team at the winding-np function, when several of the visitors took the opportunity to congratulate the Masterton Club on the very successful organising and carrying out of what is understood to be the first "chess rally" held in New Zealand. The Supplementary Contest was a handicap tourney, for those who were not engaged in the major event. There were sixteen competitors, of whom three were sons of Mr. Olomas, aged 13, 12, and 10 respectively. Those lads have already acquired some very' good ideas on the game, and are showing decided promise. This tourney was ultimately won by Mr. H. E. Ashby, of the South. Wellington Club, he being the "last survivor" in the play amongst winners. The runners-up were Messrs. Gyles, sen., Staff-Sergeant Travis, ami Master B. Clema-s, who each lost only one game. HOW TO RELIEVE HEAD NOISES. GOOD ADVICE FOR THOSE WHO FEAR DEAFNESS. People who are growing hard of hearing a,nd who experience a stuffy feeling of pressure against their ear drums, accompanied1 by buzzing, rumbling sounds in their head like water falling or steam escaping, should take prompt and effective measures to stop this trouble. Head noises are almost invariably • the forerunners of complete or partial deafness, and most deaf people suiter from them constantly Sometimes these head noise 3 become so distracting* and nerveracking, With their never ceasing "hum," they drive the sufferer almost frantic and complete nervous breakdown may result Thanks to a remarkable medicine, it is now possible to lessen the severity of these head noises and often completely overcome them, and with the disappearing of the head noises the hearing also greatly improves, and very frequently can be restored to normal. It can be easily prepared at home, and. we believe is a most effective treatment for this trouble. From your chemist secure a loz bottle of Parmint (Double Strength); take this home and add to it \ pint of hot water and 'ilb of granulated crystal sugar Stir until dissolved. Take one dessertspoonful four times a. day. Parmint is used in this way not only to reduce by tonic action the inflammation and swelling in the Eustachian Tubes, and thus to_ equalise the air pressure on tho drum, but to correct any excess of secretions in the middle ear, and the results it gives are usually quick and effective. Every person who has catarrh in a,ny form should give this preparation a trial. —Advt. When that chill-producing bite is in the air fortify yourself with Nazol. Breathe it in—through the mouth by some drops on sugar,' or the nose by a. Nazol-inhaler. This simple treatment safeguards young and old against colds, sore throats, and influenza. Get Nazol now. Is 6d buys 60 doses. Look for the name Nazol.—Advt. HEAVY DRINKER FOR 30 YEARS. DRINKO CURED HIM., A GRATEFUL wife writes on 14th Novxi ember: — "You. will bo pleased to know my husband ik splendid.
