In the four others it is difficult if not impossible to demonstrate a win for either side-but in' one — that between Messrs Crane (NS W.) and Tullidge (Via), the former has the slight advantage of three pawns for a minor piece, but the pawns are not far enough advanced to nnke a win certain. The result on tbia basis is therefore that N.S.W. won the match by 3 to 2. A Village of Chess Players.— Taere is a village in Austria called Storbech, of whiab. all the inhabitants are chess players.
