the richest thins I have raid for gome time was in your last 

 issue about the trout knocking the fly iuto his mouth with his

Bedfobd, Ohio.— Dear Hallock : I think it all nonsense to 

 talk about trout flopping the fly into his mouth with his tail. 

 I have repeatedly Keen a trout take a iiy in still, clear water 

 never using his tail for that purpose except as a propellor to 

 move his body. T. Gabliok.

Black announces mate in B mors (t) 



NOTES. 



(a) Most authorities recommend Black to decline the gambit by P-K3. 



(ii) Until recently this move was considered best, but now P-K3 Is re- 

 garded as a better move. 



(cj Q ki eh is sometimes played, in which else the reply would be 

 P.Q B3. 



(d) Cp to this point 'the moves were proposed by Jtr. Waight and 

 accepted by Mr. Atkinson, who knew it was not considered good play 

 to accept the Queen's Gambit. 



(e) This move appears to give White a slight advantage, as it aUows 

 him to obtain a strong centre with his pawns. 



CO The game is well developed on both sides. 



(n) The threatening move of the Kt properly answered. 



: ,ory to assuming the defensive in a vigorous manner. 



(J) Of d.iuhtful utility, giving White an isolated P and no advantage 

 in position. 



(j) Black's game is now preferable. If 26— F/tfcsF, 26— R-KtTcti, 

 winning a P, as the B cannot be taken on account of the check with 



the 



at Q4, and should not have been moved, 

 te moves which would have followed 



(0 This move of. the Kt enabh 



(in) A better move than it i 

 the proposed pomt of attack, which El 



(n) P-B4 looks like a nonslesome m< 



(o) GettiDg too far away from home. 



(p) Just what Black was waiting for. 



(g) A bold sacrifice, and one that shows Blaek is confident of his 

 attack. 



(r) Equivalent to giving the game into Black's hands by one of the 

 two to! lowing variations :

NOTES. 



(a) Here the books dismiss the game as even; from this point the 

 players are thrown upon their own resources. 



(JO Perhaps Et-QB would have better. 



(o) Thtt object of this move is not apparent. 



(d) Another move of doubtful utility. 



(<•> Kl -B3 should be tried at, tlds juncture. 



(/) The last two moves of Blaofc somewhat paralyze the attack, 

 though only temporarily. It is too early in the game "to right with the 

 pawns, 



(9I This leaves the K too much exposed, and subjects him to com- 

 plicated diitlculties. 



(ft) Threatening a check at Kts, winning two pieces for the R. 



(0 The Queen's Pawn cannot be tal.en with safely. 



O) Why not. have stopped on this square when the B retreated ? 



<*) Making a sortie into the enemy's camp without accomplishing 

 much. 



(/) Winning a piece, and bringing the Kts into play with telling effect, 

 virtually winning the game. 



(m) Perhaps as good as anything. Blaek cannot save the game. 



(ii) White announced a mate in eleven moves, as follows : 

 27— BtksB 27— K-Kt I 33— 1S-B3 ch 33— K-Kt* 



28— K-K7 23-K-QO 84-Q-B6T 31-K-KS ch

 31-KtfesE 

 32-11 K 



30— Any 



* This move permits White to mate in nine moves instead of eleven, 

 By interposing the. R at K 4, Black can prolong the mate one move, 

 Which is still one short, of the stipulated one— eleven. 



t Q-Kt6 ch makes the ninth move mate as stated above.— Uart/ord

THE JANUARY MONTHLIES. 

 Appleton's Journal. — A most noticeable change in our 

 monthlies this month is the alteration of Appleton's from an illus- 

 trated journal to one which shall depend solely upon the merit of 

 its articles without the engraver's art, and for the most part the 

 papers of foreign writers at. that. The editors, announce also their 

 intention of devoting'more space to articles bearing upon art and 

 literary and soaial and political topics, and to give lees room to 

 fiction and descriptive arlicles. We must express our regret at 

 the change from American to foreign authors. We had the Eclec- 

 tic and tiie Living Age already ; they gave us the cream of the for- 

 eign periodicals. Appleton's, however, as it appears now, is full 

 of good things, and will in all likelihood hold its place as a popular 

 journal. 



Harper's Magazine.— My. William A. liideing opens the 

 number with an illustrated article on Liverpool, "England's 

 Great Seaport,'' and Mr. S. G. W. Benjamin's "Rambles in the 

 Soulh of Prance" is another paper from across the seas; and 

 the list is still farther supplemented by Miss Young's description 

 of (he manufacture of "Cloisonne Enamel." Col, Geo. E. War- j
