From notes in the Cape Times.
(a) P-Q B 3 is the üßual continuation. (6) Kt-B 3 is preferable, for if White, adopting the Jerome Gambit, 5 B x P eh, Black replies k x b ; 6 Q-B 4 eh, p-q 4 ; 7Qx B, kt xp. (c) But for the absence from home of the queen. P-0. 4 would be a powerful move here. (d) If k x kt ; 11 Q-K 4 eh, and recaptures the kt. (c) IfKxß, Black's q-r 5 eh not only recovers the piece, but gets a strong attack. (f) Better at once retreat the b, and suffer the loss of the exchange. (g) 18 Q x Q leads to an equal game. (ft) A remarkable and brilliant sacrifice, and a perfectly sound one, for it wins. (i) There seems nothing better than to take the queen and pl*y for a draw ; but we believe that with best play White wins in all variations. Both teams htve displayed considerable skill, and the winners must be particularly complimented on the fine finish. We have never seen a finer correspondence game. It would be creditable to any club in the world. We understand that there were three players in consultation on eachside. — Cheltenham Examiner.
