THK FALLEN (JAMPANILLE. SEARCHING THE HUINS. Of course, writes the Pall Mall Gazette's Venice correspondent, the first object of interest to every one who conies here, be he Italian or stranger, is tho pile of rubbish, which is all that is left of the historic Campanile, and the difference which its disappearance makes in the Piazza San Marco, there being those who even declare that the latter is much more grandiose now than formerly. j The research which has been made to test the foundations of the fallen ! tower has brought several very interesting facts to light. Professor Boni, tho eminent archaeologist who is directing the work, says that it was only in 500 that the foundations of the buildings were based on graduations or steps, so that the pavement of the piazza has been raised, making the foundations of the tower lower than was originally intended. In fact in the process of exploration it has been found that about 3ft under the present pavement of the square is another more antique, and under that again, about 2ft deeper still are distinct remains of the mediaeval "opus picatum," seen in the pictures of Gentile Bellini. Beeper again, about 6ft from the present level, is the ground on which, primitive man trod, together with various evidences of the Roman occupation. Professor Boni has named the Piazza of St. Mark's the "Venetian Forum" of the Roman epoch, and, although he does not say so, one divines that he would like to excavate the whole of it». It is his opinion, arrived at after much study, that the catastrophe to the towet * r as due to the sinking of the level, which is computed to be at the rate of 3£ inches every hundred years, the sinking coming from the consolidation of the basis on which the entire city is built. THE REMOUNT KEPORT. -«« — ■ The Sydney Stock and Station Journal of November 11, says; — There are many racing enthusiasts who seek to throw discredit upon Viscount Downe's report on Australian remounts, This Imperial officer saw what most of the patrons of the turf refuse to acknowledge, and that is that sprint racing is accomplishing just what it caters for— the production of thoroughbred weeds. Those who concern themselves in the support of the racehorse, are advancing all sorts of contentions in their eagerness to bring Viscount Downe's statement to ridicule; but, our .sturdy old breeders of the right sort, smile at the flimsy array of "facts" that are Bet forth in defence of the up-to-date racehorse. It is contended that, were it necessary, our thoroughbreds of today might be relied upon to equal the feats of endurance and speed that made our old-time saddle horses famous. We do not doubt that there are some horses in New South Wales all that these enthusiasts claim them to be, but they are not to be met with, except as very old specimens — survivors of the old thoroughbred type We readily admit that among the best racehorses of to-day may be found a few stallions and mares calculated to rebuild our horse-breeding industry, yet there is no getting away from the fact that our training stables shelter a deplorably' big percentage of weeds. We cannot blame our racing men, who as a general thing, follow what is looked upon as a sport for speculation. The fault lies with our breeders, who. are too negligent of their own interest to make careful selections when mating their mares. It is evident that the military buyers want a stout-bodied horse, and if we wish to do business with them we must produce a sturdier animal than our generally weak-look-ing thoroughbred of to-day. If a man goes into a shop and asks for a stout rope, the shopkeeper would hardly expect him to take twine as a substitute The army people want thick horses, and thick horses we must produce, or stick up the notice— "No army remounts here." Some people who knew very little regarding the available supply of Indian remounts in this State asserted that military buyers might easily obtain what they want if they were prepared to pay a reasonable price; yet we know of one Indian buyer who had to go from New South Wales to Victoria to complete an order, despite the fact that he was willing to pay anything in reason for high-class army remounts. This buyer paid £50 apiece for some geldings purchased here, and (we have it on good authority) he bought one saddle horse at £75. Does this bear out the statement in regard to New South Wales being able to provide high-ijlass remounts at a fair price ? AN UNPUECEDENTEI) CHE^S TEAT. » "• A feat unprecedented in the annals of chess was performed at the Vienna Chess Club recently by H. N. Pillsbury, the American champion. He simultaneously played sixteen gumes without seeing the boards, against strong players, winning twelve and making four draws. At four o'clock began tho remarkable spectacle, sel I - .dom before seen in Vienna. In the dining-room sixteen chess boards with their players were placed, while PiJJsbury sat at the door facing towcrds the adjoining room. The Vienna champion, Herr Maroo, was the medium between the American player and his opponents, going from table to table, calling out first the number of the board and then the move. Pillsbury gave his move quickly, often without reflection. The situation becamo more and more diilicult for his opponents, although many of them are excellent players. At eight o'clock he had beaten one of his most formidable opponents, Herr Weiss. Loud cries of "Bravo!" resounded from the crowds of spectators filling the usually quiet rooms. Tho only person to preserve his composure was the winner, who quietly lighted a fresh cigar. It is, by the way, his habit to smoke incessantly while playing, without which, he says, he could not get on. The nearer the end of the various games grew the more quickly did Pillsbury dispose of his partners, but it was really one o'clock in the morning when the last game was fin. ished although the ranks of the players had been considerably thinned long before. No one but the American champion succeeded in winning a single game. Pillsbury's achievement, says a Vienna correspondent, is ar event of the first importance in the world of chess, although blind games are by no means new. The old Arabians are said to have tried them. A hundred and twenty years ago Philidor, the father of the art oi chess, played two games at St James's Club, in London (1782), without seeing the board, at the same time playing another game in (the, ordinary way. This was looked upon as something specially memorable. In 1860 Morphy played blind games in Manchester, London, and Paris, but did not exceed eight at once. Louis Paulsen, wishing to outdo Morphy, of late years has achieved twelve such games simultaneously. Also Zuckertort and Steinitz, Tschigorin and Tarrasch cultivated this branch, but without accomplishing in it anything equal to their reputation. .Recently Fritz has in Germany appeared as a blind player of as many as ten such games. Pillsbury is still a young man of less than thirty. As a boy of seventeen he started -jn life as >an advertising agent, and later was connected with
