The chief event of American circles has just concluded, and for the second time Henderson has gained the title of American Champion. The knock-out system was the method adopted, the losers in the initial round continuing in a "Minor Toumey." Among those who entered the lists were Alf. Jordan and Newell Banks, both claimants for the World's Championship title; and such players as Lieberman, Ginsberg, Doran, Howe, Reynolds, O'Grady, Hanson) Wendmuth, Spielman -were among others. Henderson, Jordan, Banks, Ginsberg, Reynolds, and Lieberman found their way to the prizes after some strenuous heats had been played. Jordan and Banks had a great struggle, no fewer than 34 games being played before the former British champion gained the odd win from bis youthful protagonist. In the final Henderson was opposed to Jordan! and the match was watched with the keenest of interest. For the second time within two years the Pittsburg player achieved the victory over Jordan and won the trophy and title of American champion. Our friends beyond the Tweed can boast that they have a?ain vanquished the Southerners, for Hugh Henderson hails from the "land of brown heath." " Banks, nothing daunted by his failure to reach the first place, is out with a challenge for a thousand dollars and the "professional championship of America." He is endeavouring also to arrange anoflier match with Jordan. And in addition he displays a.n anxiety to measure swords with Pomer-ry, who ptvles himself the "unrestricted champion." Banks offers to meet him in a match of 50 games, one half to be on Pomeroy's oldfashionocl, out-of-date, po-as-you-plen=e. unrestricted method, and the other half under t*>o o?labliahed customary "two-move" method. Banks also offers to play Pomerov on a now v '* ■»-----iV. -*i i of .11 rer
