NEW 7 ZEALAND CONGRESS

DUNEDIN, Dec. 28. The New Zealand Chess Congress opened on Saturday afternoon) The players have been divided into sections.

Section A: Miller (Westport) Dunlop (Otago), Moir (Auckland), Severno (Nelson), Barnes (Wellington), Chackanthorp (Sydney); Ayles (Wellington); E. E. Hicks (Ngaio): Fenwick (Hamilton). Section B: Purdy (N.S.W.); Anderson, Fairburn, Kelling, E. A. Hicks (Wellington); Davies, Stenhouse (Otago); Evskino (Victoria); Pilil (Christchurch). SECOND BOUND.

E. E. Hicks v. Severne (Four Knights game).—An early injudicious exchange of pieces left Hicks with a piece to the bad, which advantage enabled Severne to gain a strong attack which Hicks could not withstand.

Moir v. Gyles (Queen’s gambit declined). —The game proceeded on book lines until Moir offered a piece which was declined. Gyles defended steadily and the end of the game was reached with positions very even but then Moir outplayed his opponent and Gyles resigned on move 35. Anderson v. Purdy (French defence). —Purdy won two pawns in the opening, but Anderson initiated a strong attack which Purdy was unable to defend in the time limit of 20 moves to the hour.

Davies v. Erskine (centre counter) —Careful play took place for 20 moves when Davies sacrificed a bishop for three pawns. An exceedingly complicated game resulted in a win for the Melbourne representative. Fairburn v. Stenhouse (Two Knights defence).. —Stenhouse failed to take advantage of a weak variation. He attacked prematurely and Fairburn obtained the better game and brought off a smothering'mate. Barnes v. Fenwick (Indian defence) —An even game lip to the 13th move when Barnes gained a. material advantage and some interesting play followed, Barnes ultimately coming out the victor.

Dunlop v. Millar (Queen’s pawn game).—Du.nl op got an advantage early and although Millar defended strongly he had to lower his colors.

Fairbnrn (Scotch game).—Fairbnrn sacrificed a Bishop which was accepted. The sacrifice turned out sound and eventually Kicks resigned. Purdv v.

P. T. Barnum. tlie famous American showman, was once £iked what invention or discovery had, in his opinion, contributed most to the source of human happiness and enjoyment. 'Without hesitation he replied: “The invention or discovery ot smoking.” He wasn't far wrong. Tobacco is like a good wife—it halves our sorrows and doubles our joys. But it must be the right kind of tohacco. If full of nicotine, as so many of the imported brands are., habitual indulgence in it must be attended, sooner or later, with evil consequences. Heart or nerves may become affected. By the way, our Xew Zealand-grown tobaccos are so pure and contain relatively so little nicotine that the\- may he freely indulged in with impunity. They don’t bite the tongue. The toasting of the leaf (quite a new idea) develops the flavor, whic-li is peculiarly pleasant, and they possess a delightful fragrance of their own. Xo wonder they are capturing the market. Ask for Riverhead Gold, mild; Xavy Cut, (Bulldog) medium; or Cut Plug Xo. 10 (Bullshead) full strength.
