WAIRARAPA V. WELLINGTON
Although this fixture, which is alway* held on the Saturday preceding Labour Day, cannot be staged iv Masterton this year (as was mentioned in our last week* notes), it is not to be allowed to lapse. The. chess players in Greyt'own and Featherston have taken the matter up enthiisiastically, and it has now been arranged to play the match in' Featherston on th« 24th instant. With the assistance of th« Kummers and tlirce or 'four players front Masterton, it should be possible;to have about 20 boards in action. This .contest "breaks new ground," as these matche* have always been held in Masterton ever, since-the pioneer contest in June, 1806^ when the final tally was Wairarapa 23%, Wellington 22%, the finish being, a \evf, exciting one.
