NOTES. 



(a) P to Q3 is the right move here. 



(6) The position offers great inducement for this sacrifice. 



(r) Played with the object of making Black play Q to K sq., in 

 order to prevent his interposing the Q on B3, as of course a piece 

 on that square can easily be attacked. 



(<J) A well-calculated attempt at development. Of course, if 

 P X Kt, P X P. 



((■) The text more apparently improves Black's position. 



(./■) K toKt sq. at once would have been better. 



(g) Black is willing to give up his Q for R and B, in addition to 

 a piece he already has. 



(h) Electing not to take the Q ; on the vrhole, perhaps risky. 



(i) P to KE,3 seems to be the better move. 



(./') R to B sq. would have been better. 



(A-) This move loses. Black ought to have played Kt (R) 4 to B5, 

 with a defensible position.

Uncle John. — Victor Wahltuek. 



Donna, M. T. Horton.— If 1. R to Kt4 in No. 144, then Kt to QG 

 and no mate in two is possible. 



Peru seems slightly in advance of some other conntrieR, for its 

 Government has just arranged to have the principal cities lit by- 

 electricity. Coal is very costly in the Peruvian Republic, and 

 Lima and Callao are the only places that have been lighted with 

 gas, while all others have depended on kerosene lamps. In most 

 of the cities the electricity will be generated by means of running 

 water, and the expense will thereby be marvellously reduced. —
