[AufiusT, 190S. 



• " Qtiidam." — I cannot find tliat yon wore credited with 

 any ])oints for solutions of the May problems, and much 

 fear that j'our solutions must have gone astray in the 

 post. I have no record of them in my score-liook, nor are 

 they mentioned in the proof-slips of the June number 

 which I have by me. But if, as you say, they were 

 acknowledged as correct in that number, you will of course 

 be credited with them. I regret that I am unable to 

 verify this till next week. 



W. Nash. —I am afraid I have uo idea. Probalily the 

 publishers of Knowledoe could give you the information 

 you require.

CHESS INTELLIGENCE. 



The death is announced of Mr. C. J. Newman, a well- 

 known American player, who has taken part in the last five 

 cable matches against Great Britain. On his first appear- 

 ance in these encounters he saved most ingeniously what 

 appeared to be a hopeless game. 



The first-class Open Tourney of the Kent County 

 Association was won by Mr. G. Shories, of Brighton, with 

 a score of 7 out of a possible 8. The other leading scores 

 were — G. A. Thomas, 6 ; E. Cresswell and R. Loman, 4|^ ; 

 J. Mortimer, 4. 



The Southern Counties' Chess Union holds its annual 

 meeting at Plymouth this year, from August 31st to 

 Sej>tember 9th. The winner will hold the Amateur Cham- 

 pion Cup, at ]jresent in the custody of Mr. R. P. Michell. 

 Intending competitors should address Mr. W. P. Weekes, 

 7, Sussex Terrace, Plymouth. 



Mr. F. J. Marshall has caused some sensation by chal- 

 lenging I)r. Lasker for the championship of the world. 

 It is thought probable that the offer will be declined, 

 on the ground that Mr. Marshall has not yet met with 

 sufficient success to justify the issuing of such a challenge.
