The last two are boys, Peck being onlyeight past, and Manning fourteen, and both show wonderful proficiency ab the game, especially Peck, who is said to know the trunk of all the openings as given in " Andersons third." It would be interesting to see the games these two plaj ed, if either of them can remember them and would send them to the Draughts Editor for insertion in this column.
