GAMES.

Game 2460—" Cross." By D. A. Brodie, Ghamyion of New Zealand.

(c) Corrects Game 304, Oamaru Mail, whsre Mr Montgomery plays 1 5, and allowed Mr Boreham to draw. J'lie Mail says this game is a fij.e otudy. I presume it is gomg by Mr Montgom <y's opinion "thao the games were the best ever played in the colony. Can either Boreham or Montgomery show a draw for White by any line of ]>lay instead of 22 18 at*? The two following games are contributed by Mr Brodie. They were played in Wanganui tourna' mont between Messrs Murray and Meuzies. Game 2461—" Biiacol." Mut r*y's move.

(«) 27 23, 18 27, 32 16, 10 19, 22 18, 14 23, 16 11, &c., would have given White a good gams.— Brodie. (b) This loses ; instead of 15 19 play 15 18, and Biauk can draw iv a canter.— Brodie. Game 2462- " Cross." Menzieo's move.

Played at Manchester during the visit of Mr G. Jewitt, of Hull. Game 2463-" Glasgow.*
