Draughts Items. " Hill's Manual."— This work, announced recently, has been so " rushed" that all are sold, and we have nearly a dozen orders which cannot be filled unless a further supply arrives by next boat. The game applies to " Hill's Synopsis." It May be True ! —A Home paper is responsible for the statements that Mr Wyllie once played a match for a stake with an American expert, who boasted that he was the champion quick player of the United States. The match was won by Mr Wyllie. It occupied an hour, and the number of games played was 92. Ferndale.— The Draughts Club at Ferndale opened for the season last week, and Hie members expect a good season, as several of their number scored well last year. There is some talk of an amalgamation with theMataura Club, and it is generally considered that the junction would be an advantage to both club 3 generally; while each could retain its own practice room, and play inter-district matches in addition to those played with outside clubs. Sydney.— From the lively Echo column we learn that another club has been formed in Sydney. Also, Mr Lane (Lite of Queensland, has given Mr Boycc, the erstwhile champion, a good tussel for supremacy in several friendly sittings. Boyce, however, came out on top. The "Stroke" King— Mr R. Lyons, Sunderland, England, has composed 1754 "stroke" problems. Answers to Correspondents. SoLimoN of Problem 1086. By Wm. H. Dunn, New Plymouth.
