Mr. Jay has increased his lead and should be difficult to 

 overtake ; liut there will at any rate be a desperate 

 strug^'le for second and third prizes. 1 sincerely hope 

 that none of the above will retire before the etid of 

 Januarj', when the lastTournoy Problem will have appeared. 

 Otherwise the number of the jury will indeed be limited, 

 the above six alone being now eligible to serve. The Solu- 

 tion Tourney, of course, ends with the problems published 

 in the December number. 



I am unable to find the problem " Aller guten Dinge 

 sind drei." The sealed envelope is also missing, and it is 

 not likely that both can have been mislaid. I can only guess, 

 therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary, that 

 the composer must, some months ago, have withdrawn the 

 problem, and that the fact has escaped my memory. 

 Should the composer see this, I trust that he will let me 

 know the facts. 



CHESS XNTELLIOENCE. 



Mr. F. J. Marshall has recently defeated Mr. R. 

 Teichmann in a short series of games, winning two and 

 drawing the other three. A small tournament in Paris 

 resulted in the following score : — D. Jauowski, 4^ ; 

 S. Taubenhaus, 3^ ; Von Scheve, 3 ; A. Albin, \. 



Two eminent chess masters have passed away during 

 the last month. One, M. Rosenthal, was for many years 

 the best player in France, eminent alike as a theorist and 

 a practical player. He is chiefly remembered in England 

 for his game against Steinitz, which won the brilliancy prize 

 in the London Tournament of 1883. The other, C. A. 

 Walbrodt, of Berlin, was an even stronger player. He 

 did not do himself justice in the Hastings Tourney, but 

 at his best he was probably among the first six European 

 players. His death occurred at the age of 31.
