CHESS ITEMS
H. Rinck, of Barcelona the celebrated composer, has won first prize in the end-game composition tourney recently conducted in " Bohemia." The fourteenth gam« played between Dr Emanuel Lasker and Mr P. J. Marshall in the contest for the chess championship of the world proved a fiasco.

The Liverpool Weekly Courier announces a problem-composing tourney open to the world, the first prize offered being a silver cup of the value of £Z 3s. on which is to be engraved the diagram of the winning problem and the successful composer's name. The second prize is to be £1- 10s, and the third, £1. Dr C. Planok, M.A., and Mr A. C. Challenger have consented to act as judges. Each problem submitted must h& a direct mate, original, and hitherto unpublished. Entries from abroad are receivable up to August 31 next.
