Westminster Papriis.— This noted English chess jour- 

 nal announces in its January number the publication of 

 Wormald's work on chess, and also states that Captain 

 Kennedy is about to Issue a new edition of his "Waifs 

 and Strays from the Chess Board." 



Referring to the centennial tournament in Philadelphia, 

 the same journal says : 



"Tiie New York Congress of 1857 brought prominently 

 before the world a Morphy in one branch of the game, and 

 a. Loyd in the other. The fame of both, and the conse- 

 quent renown of American Chess, now extends from shore 

 to shore, from world to world. We trust the Philadelphia 

 committee will give History an opportunity to repeat itself 

 in 1876, an opportunity for which, if there is any truth in 

 tradition, the genius of history is ever on the watch." 



Tins English Problem Tocrney.— The London Field 

 of December 2(ith, in commenting on the Problem Tourney, 

 says : 



The judges in this tournament pronounced their final 

 decision in' the course of last week respecting the special 

 prize for the best, four-move problem, and we arc pleased 

 to announce, as a consolation to some of our readers who 

 vainly tried to solve it, that the award was declared in favor 

 of the. problem published in our issueof July 25, 1874, be- 

 longing to the set bearing the motto "Xiook after the Caby," 

 which set, consisting; of five problems, had already been 

 crowned with the first prize as the best collection in the 

 competition. The problem committee, having thus settled 

 all the prizes, proceeded to open the envelopes containing 

 the names of the winners, of which the following is a 

 list:— 



First prize, £35 (motto "Look after the Caby"), Lieut. 

 S. A. Sorensen, Copenhagen. 



Second prize, L15 (motlo "Ultima Thule"), Dr. Conrad 

 Bayer, Olmulz. 



Third prize, £10 (motto "Hoc ardua vincere docet"), Mr. 

 J. H. Finlinson, Huddersfleld. 



Fourth prize, £5 (motto "Why so, prithee ?"), Mr. W. 

 S. Pavitt, Kcttenden. 



Fifth prize, £4 (motto "The best laid schemes of mice 

 and men gang aft agley"), Mr. Th. M. Brown, Brook- 

 lyn, V. S. 



Sixth prize, £3 (motto "All's well that ends well), Mr. 

 Wilhelm Nielsen, Copenhagen. 



Seventh prize, £3 (motto "Auf Wiedersehen"), Mr. C. 

 Nndebaum, Tessin, Germany. 



Eighth prize, £2 (motto "Ludimus effigieni belli") Capt. 

 J. Luigi Kossati, Milan, Italy. 



Ninth prize, £1 (motto "Work for money, but think for 

 honor"), Mr. A. Frei Schmidt, Honolulu, Hawaiian Isl- 

 ands. 



Special Prizes. — For tho best four-move problem, £7 

 (motto (Look after the Caby"), Lieut. S. A. Sorensen, Co- 

 penhagen. 



For the best three-move problem (£o motto "Where's 

 the master ? Play the men"), Mr. F. Healey, London. 



For Ihe best two-move problem, $3 (motto "Imagine"), 

 Mr. J. King, fjondon. 



— Herr Kosch has taken charge of the new chess column 

 of the Parti Messenger, and this is what he promises to do 

 in bis opening article to his readers: 



"Our aim is to be the means of communication, the 

 speaking medium between the amateurs of America and 

 those of the old continent. We trust that our articles, 

 although dated from a distaut point, will not prove to be 

 devoid of interest to our colleagues in the Hew World. 

 We shall inform them regularly of all that takes place in 

 Europe in chess circles, of the rising celebrities, of the 

 fine games that are played, and, above all, of tlie superb 

 problems that arc here brought to light. At no distant 

 period the principal players of our continent (in reply to 

 the courteous invitation made by the Philadelphia commit- 

 tee), will so to meet the friendly welcome of their Ameri- 

 can rivalsTand renew the combat for the 'championship of 

 the world.' The tournament, which will take place dur- 

 ing the Philadelphia exhibition, and which promises to be 

 Homeric, will place in opposition a phalanx of competitors 

 superior in number and in talent to all those who have 

 been represented up to the present day in the annals of 

 chess-playing. We shall not fail to inform our readers of 

 the preparations made by the European players in view of 

 this great event. 



—At the annual meeting of the Palisade Boating club of 

 Yonkers, the following officers were elected.— M. F. Howe, 

 President; W. II. Guernsey, Vice President; B. F. Vermil- 

 vea, Recording Secretary; U, G. Jackson, Corresponding

 C. 11. Harriott, Lieutenant.; E. Jackson, W. H. Stewart, 

 W. F. II. Betty, W. It. King, and 11. B. Starr, Trustees. 

 The Treasurer's report show's a balance of $475 on band. 

 The club-roll comprises ihe name of tony active and twen- 

 ty-one honorary members. The number of miles rowed by 

 members last season was 5,49S 



Mllmrth. 



— It is stated that parties are willing to back Budolphe 

 in a match with Gamier to the amount of $10,000. 



— A professional tourney for $t,5Q0wOrth of prizes is 

 to be held al Samuel! 's, in Brooklyn, early in March, in 

 which Budolphe, Vtgnaux, Gamier, Only, Ubassy and tbe. 

 Dions will take part.' 



— The challenge that, Gamier addressed to Budolphe has 

 since been addressed to Maurice Vignaux, with this differ- 

 ence, that while Rudolphe was allowed but five days to 

 cover that $1,000 forfeit, Vignaux is accorded fifteen. As 

 lo table, stake, stakeholder, etc., the terms of the two 

 challenges are identical. 



—George E. Phelan will in a few days remove his ware- 

 rooms from No. 7 Barclay street to a location a trille far- 

 ther north. 



— Tbe room at the corner of Broadway and Thirty-sec- 

 ond street, from which Ubassy, Vignaux & Si rauss' have 

 withdrawn, has lapsed into the hands or Charles Durand, 

 its former owner. It is reported that Francois Ubassy has 

 accepted the position of supervisor there, and will not go 

 with Rudolphe. 



— The Jeffersonian Billiard Rooms, No. 17 Chatham 

 street, have just been refitted with entirely new tables of 

 Griffith's manufacture, Dclnney's patent cushions, and are 

 now under the sole control of Major William II. Lewis, 

 who is a general favorite with the editors, lawyers, and 

 compositors of Printing House Square. The Major avers 

 his determination to make his place in every sense accept- 

 able to his pations. 



Smaller Balls.— Philadelphia billiard saloon keepers 

 are introducing smaller balls. The prevailing size of balls 

 in Ibis country is 2fths. This has been the rule by com- 

 mon consent since October of 18H0. Many yea.s before 

 that tbe balls were much smaller hern at the East, a trifle 

 larger at the West, and much larger at the South. Except 

 in Mexico and South America, where, however, the tables 

 are still 0x12, larger balls are used in this country than in 

 any other. In England, where the table has an inside 

 measurement of 6x12, the standard balls for match-playing 

 are 2 l-lb'th in diameter. In France, where the tables are 

 about the same size as here, balls are not known by their 

 size. They are sold by weight, and the demand is for 

 lOoz. balls.

 more interesting by graphic illustrations ot the text. The article on the

The Phrenological Journal for February is 'now out, and 

 among its noteworthy articles are those on "The Proper Study of man- 

 kind," "The Reign of Panics," "Signs of Character," and "Contrasts or 

 Child Expression." The work is very readable, especially to those 

 versed ia phrenology. 



The Science of Health 'Monthly for February is quite an in- 

 teresting number, the contents including an article by Dr. Thrall on 

 Diptnerla; another explanatory ol the philosophy ol secretion and ex- 

 cretion; warnings against quacks and medical importers will also at- 

 tract attention. Mr Delano has a well written chapter on Hygiene in the 

 School Room. Altogether the number is very instructive in a hygienic 

 point of view.

—A Most Valuable Gift.— We acknowledge the re-

 Engineers, at Washington, D. C, of a most valuable pack- 

 age of Government Maps, which will be of immonsc service 

 to us in the preparation of tbe weekly issues of Fokhst 

 and Stream. Aside from their intrinsic value, such a 

 token of appreciation of our journal and its efforts, coming 

 from so distinguished a source, is most grateful and en- 

 couraging. To tho officers of the Army, both at Head- 

 quarters and on the frontier posts, tbe Foiusst and Stream 

 has long been indebted for valued contributions and useful 

 miscellaneous service. We find among them the most en- 

 thusiastic lovers of field sports and intelligent observers of 



natural objects.

Canine Sagacity.— A black-and-tan dog, on its morning- 

 trip to this city with its master, hasbeen, of late, frequently 

 assailed by a bigger dog in State street. Friday morning 

 tbe little dog came with a big comrade, but the State street 

 dog did not appear. Nothing disturbed, the two dogs sat 

 down and waited awhile, then tho big dog deliberately hid 

 himself behind a tree, and the little one, barking furiously, 

 ran towards the city past the home of his enemy. No 

 fighlinir dog appeared, and the little one repeated the man- 

 euver, this time calling out Ids assailant. The little dog 

 ran straight to his friend, who lay perfectly still until pur- 

 suer autf pursued were within a rod of him, when he tlcw 

 out from bis tree and killed the State street dog in a second. 

 The big dog and the little one then gazed tranquilly a few 

 seconds at their fallen foe, after which the little dog kited 

 off down town, and the avenger plodded slowly back 

 toward Willbraham.— ty>nV/>'M lkpnblican.
