NEW ZEALAND CHESS ASSOCIATION. ANNUAL MEETING. The adjourned annual g-eueral meeting of the New Zealand Chess Association was held at the Government Insurance Buildings on Thursday, the 16th inst., when the following "clubs were represented Auckland. Wanganui, Rangitikei, Palmerston North, Wellington, Wellington Working Men’s Club, Canterbury, Tiinaru, Oamaru, and Otago. Mr Benbow, the local Vice-President, being absent in Australia, Mr C. W. Tanner was voted to the chair. A letter was read from Mr S. S. Blackburne, of Christchurch, making further objection to the Council’s cancellation of the Revision Committee's poll regarding new rules. On the motion of Mr Barnes (Otago) it was decided to reply stating that the Council does hot withdraw from the position it has already taken up. The Otago Club wrote with reference to the proposed Mouat Memorial, and stated that it was prepared to repeat its offer to find a trophy of a minimum value of £2O, provided the Association contributed £lO towards same. The club also stated that , the amended proposals departed from tho conditions which it had previously laid, down regarding the proposed series of interclub contests to decide possession of the trophy. After some discussion. the following motion was carried on the proposal of Mr Barnes: "That the Otago Chess Club be informed that in deference to their wishes the number of players lias been fixed at eight a-side (unless a higher number is mutually agreed to), and that the rules and regulations .for governing the contest have not yet been drawn up; that the Otago Club be asked to forward their views on the matter, and that the hon. secretary inquire whether the club, or any of its members, will do anything in the matter of supporting the proposed Hookham Memorial trophy.” Regarding the proposal that a chapter dealing with “Laws of Play” should be embodied in the new rules, the Wellington Club wrote agreeing to the insertion of Nos. 1 and 9 and No. 11 of Chapter 2 of the Code. Other clubs were divided on the motion, while some required further information regarding the matter. Mr Barnes therefore moved that consideration of the proposal and the correspondence thereon be defered until tlie final stage of the revision of rules is reached. This was seconded by Mr Brown, and carried unanimously.

The election of officers resulted as follows :—Patron, Sir Robert Stout; President, His Honour Mr Justice Denniston; Vice-Presidents (North Islaud), Messrs Grierson and Hosking (Auckland), Hon. F. Arkwright (Rangitikei), and C. W. Benbow (Wellington); (South Island), R. W. Black (Christchurch), Gordon P. Wood (Timaru), Dr Stenhouse, and J. Edwards (Dunedin); Hon. Secretary and Treasurer, J. A. Connell (pro. tem.); Auditor, W. Maekay. Mr Brown’s motion, “That the next Championship Congress be held during the Christmas-New Year holidays,” was taken next, the result showing that clubs are unanimous in preferring the date named as affording more scope than any other season of the year for getting a satisfactory “field.” Mr Barnes moved, and Mr Davies seconded: “That the next Congress be held in Christchurch.” Carried unanimously. A hearty vote of thanks to Mr Tanner for presiding closed the meeting.
