 It woul'i savi; nuich trouble in fj;oiH^ tlirouj;!) solutions if 

 eorrespondonts would refrain from the complete analysis 

 which some appear to think necessary. Post-cards are 

 jireferred, and duals and claims for second solutions should 

 l>o clearly indicated. Some solvers have sent in claims for 

 duals on the third move, but these, under the conditions, 

 do not r.ouut. 



Composers of "Leonard" and "All's veil thai ends 

 well." — Corrections received, and will be made accordingly. 



Norseman. — April solutions correct, but too late to 

 acknowledge. 



Composer of " Vega." — Since you have sent your name 

 and address it would be impossible to insert the problem. 



G. S. Johnson. — As pointed out in my re))ly to you last 

 month, a problem cannot be admitted to the tournament 

 when the conditions as to sealed name and address have 

 not been observed. Nor could any correction be received 

 in the case of a problem which has been shown in this 

 column to be unsound. 



H. D'O. Bernard. — In the circumstances I think that 

 your solutions may be accepted for this occasion. 



G. F. Todd. — I "fear that your solutions were too late to 

 be counted. 



Alpha — Tour revised solution of No. 3 is (juite correct, 

 but too late, as you say, to count. I (juite understand 

 that you are not a serious competitor, but solutions must 

 be acknowledged on a uniform system.
