DRAUGHT NOTES. | Dotalls were recently settled and articles signed by Newall Banks and Robert Stewart. five times champion of Scotland, to play for the world’s championship and a •mrse of £SOO, raised by public aubscripf/on. Play was to commence in the Lesser 'i*v Hall. Glasgow, on Saturday, November 5. Great interest is being taken In the match, and a great contest is being eagerly looked forward to. R. Scobie has already issued a challenge to the winner. Master J. Bingham, who is taking a. pvomincat part t» the Queensland chain-

pionship, is only a little past his seven- . teenth birthday, and has been playing the : game about eighteen months. In the contest now in progress he has defeated T. Gilday, S. H. Chalk and J. Hickey, old and experienced players. With a little more match experience he should take a • high place in the game, and be heard - from in future Australian championships !
