' LONDON, — The chess players of the Metropolis have been testing their playing strength against Herr A. Albin, who has paid • London a visit. Several have tried conclusions with him, but one of the moat interesting teats to our local players is that which has taken place between Herr Albin and the youthful H. H. Cole, who played a pretty game against Yorkshire at Leeds, in the late match by telephone. Of 19 games played by Mr Cole with Herr Albin, the latter has won 9, Cole 8, and two have been drawn Mr Colo some weeks back played at the top board in the the match between City of London Olub and Surrey County, 40 players each tide. Herbert Jacobs was his opponent, but Mr Cole won hia game, THE VIENNA TOURNAMENT. .tasker, PilUbury, Dr Tarrasoh, Stoinitz, Tohigorin, and Chaxousck have already intimated their intention to take part in the forthcoming Vienna International Tournament, beginning on June 1. We {Westminster Gazette) may aUo count upon Blackburns and Burn from this country, Janowsky from Paris, fchowal er from America, Winawer and from Russia, Marco and Schlechter, who are at home in Vienna, Maroozy from Budapest, and perhaps Baron Rothschild might induce Max Weiss (winner, together with Tohigorin, of the last New York 'i ournaraent) to enter once more the arena; nor is there any reason why Mr Mason from this country should not play again in Vienna. In 188 J, at Yienna, at one period he was loading and bad the best chance of carrying off the fleet prize.
