Results cf the finished games in the ■eleventh round in the . Chess ■Championship Tournament are as follow:—

Barnes obtained a gpod .centre combination with chances of attack upon Ewcn's king's position, i'jwcn, after pawns, played his queen to queen rook four. This was unfortunate, as she was unable to take any part in ttio defence, and Barnes skilfully brought about Ewen's downfall.
Smith v. Mason.—Smith adopted the Ruy_ Lopez. The game proceeded according to book until Smith made a blunder, giving rook for knight, and exchanging queens. Mason from that point hfid an easy win. Wild :v. Dodds.—Dodds declined the kiinc-'s g-ambit offered by Wild, and a free, open game resulted. Dodds, Howeirer, made better, use of his pawn position on the king's.side. Wild overlooked a fork of o.ueeu and rook, and was comRelief to cxchar.gn queens and give, up rpok for knight. Dodds increased his adV|anta.se, and Wild resig-ned.
