Fraulien Emile Danzer, who lives in a small Bohemian town, is described as having: a genius far chess. She is a distant relative of the late Dr. Danzer, who was a very strong player. “Die Bohemia’’’ says that in a tourney by correspondence arranged by Herr Banmgartell, she has won three games. She "intends to establish a Bohemian Ladies’ Chess Association. and she has already secured numerous promises of support from lady residents of Carlsbad and Marienberg. Peculiar complications have arisen, says the “Brooklyn Daily Eagle,” in connection with the allocation of the MeCutcheon prizes of 500- francs - for the best game played during the Monte Carlo Tourney, with the MeCutcheon variation of the French defence. The donor nominated Mr G. C. Eeichhelm as judge, and M. de Riviere, (he manager of the tourney, sent Mr Eeichhelm only four games. To one of these, a win by Pillsbury with the White pieces from Marshall," one of the McCutclieon special prizes was awarded. The other prize was equally divided between Alb in and Gunsberg, both of whom had wins with the Black men. Mr lteichhelm’s decisions were duly communicated to M. de Riviere.-, Soon afterwards, Mr Reiehhelm received an intimation from Mason as.to his having won with the Black men from Gunsberg. An examination of the score of this game, which had not. been previously sent to Mr Reichhelm, convinced him that it was entitled to the prize which Albin and Gunsberg were to share; and Mi’ Reichhelm took immediate steps to cancel his original award. 111 the meantime, however. M. de Riviere informed Albin that he was to have half of a MeCutcheon prize: Albin met Pillsbury in Paris, and asked Pillsbll j y Jvl, , ige advancing the amount; and Pillsbury good-naturedly did so: The money for paying the MeCutcheon prizes was duly, deposited with Mr-W. P. Shipley, of Philadelphia; and the latest news is that it had rot passed out of Mr eh’-pley s possession. “Here. then, is a dilemma to tax the ingenuity alike of analysts, solvers and lawyers.” A copy of “Laws for the Regulation of Games Played over the Board,” printed “ilw&e type in the form of a wall sheet, ~~in. by 17in., mounted on varnished canvas with rollers, is being issued gratis r ’"•£ British Chess Co. These laws form Part 11. of the British Chess Code (revised edition) now generally adopted m -ii 1? British Empire and America, and will be found to be an authoritative and convenient reference in any public room where chess is played. A copy of “Laws *or the Regulation of Games played by Correspondence” will also be sent free or charge on application to the British vmess Cq., Stroud, Gloucester, England.
