NOTES. 
(а) Inferior In the opinion of the best authorities to Kt-Q ;i!3. The 
move made reduces the game to a variation of the Petroff Defence i 
that should, with the beat play on both sides, ultimately yield Black a 
somewhat superior position. 
(б) Authorities differ upon the efficacy of this move. We consider It 
the best at White's disposal. 
(c) Mr. Llchenheln, who first brought this defence Into notice 
Castled at this point. It appears that P-K R3 Is necessary at the same 
lime, hence we think the move In the text la preferable, as leaving 
Black bis option of Castling K R or Q R. 
(<i) Black evidently Intends Castling Q R. We think this to bo better 
play than the more oh vlons move of Castling K R, as, In that case, attack 
can be made upon Black’s K R P by P-K Ktt, R-Kt, etc. 
(e) This seems beat, bat should have been followed up by Caslllng on 
Q's side. 
(/) Threatening the following : P-K5, and If Kt tks P, then Kt tks Kt 
and If P tks lit, B Ktt. 
(<;) Injudicious. It lessens White's chances for an attack, and re- 
moves a piece which could bo used defensively lo great udvuntagjs. 
(A) White Is now weaker on K’a side than Black Ison Q's side. 
(0 White Is In no condition to commence an attack, aud this move 
turns out lost. R-K would have beeu better. 
0) A very strong more. If 23— Q Iks P, Q tks B P, elo. 
(A) Good agulu ; preparing to bring the U Into play in a quarter where 
White is most vulnerable. 
(0 This move looked very tempting when tho U was at Q5, but Is now 
almost decisive. 
(m) There Is nothing better. 
(n) Far better than taking tho exchange at once. Tho gamo has now 
become very agreeable for Black. 
( 0 ) From this point to the end Is only a question of tho number o 
moves.— Uart/ord Qlobo,

THE OAR AND PADDLE. 
Schuylkill Navy.— The thirteenth stone boat-house of 
this association is now being built above Fairmount Dam for 
the West Philadelphia Barge Club. This house, like all the 
others, is built from ornamental designs, and completes an array 
of fine boat-houses and appurtenances such as no other city in 
the world can show, even the metropolis being; far behind 
sister city in this respect. Good for Philadelphia, say we ; 
may others follow her leadl The clubs located on the Schuyl- 
kill comprise the Bachelor, Crescent, College, Fairmount, 
Malta, Pacific, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Quaker City, Un- 
dine, University, Vesper and West Philadelphia. Capital in- 
vested, over $100,000 in houses alone. 
Henley Regatta.— 1 The stewards of this regatta havo 
finally complied with the demands of justice and common 
6ense, and have removed the six weeks’ restriction against 
American crew9, the entries for British and foreign competitors 
closing on the same date, June 22. This will afford the win- 
ners at Watkins an opportunity to Bend over representatives 
to Henley, as intended. 
Watkins Regatta.— The Secretary announces that no 
crews will be sent to Paris, os originally proposed, since our 
French cousins have not seen fit to arrange any races on the 
Seine, but the propositions with regard to Henley will he 
strictly carried out. 
Harlem Rowing Matters.— Messrs. West and Mack will 
go in a pair at Watkins, and Mr. Rathbone will try his luck 
in a single, as will also Mr. Geo. Gaisel, of the Gramercy Club. 
The night and day clerks of the Post-office pulled a four-oared 
race on the Harlem, May 2. Day crew broke an oar, and 
dusky night got the best of Helios' sons. Distance, three 
miles, with turn ; time, 21m. 25s ; winning crew pulling easy 
The May turn-out of the students of the college of the City of 
New York took place last week, thirty-five boats in the fleet. 
Harvard and Cornell Fbkshmen.— Tho freshmen crews 
of these two colleges will offer all-meet at Saratoga Lake, the 
Harvards having reversed their decision not to row on tho 
Saratoga course. 
The Amateur Question.— The London Field makes a 
mistake in speaking of Courtney as an amateur. He is now a 
professional, and no longer recognized under the N. A. of A. 
O. as an amateur. It is by just such oversights of the Eng- 
lish press that the Henley difficulty arose, ana that Amcrioau 
amateurs are placed iu bad repute in Europe. 
Paris International Regatta. — The utter decay and 
stagnation of French nautical interests may be gauged by 
their failure to offer prizes of any description at the coming 
Exposition Universelle, either for yachting matches or rowing 
races. The condition in numbers and spirit of the aquatic 
clubs of a country can always be taken as a true index of the 
prosperity of the national nautioal interests, and the elimina- 
tion of yachting and boating from the list of French sports 
is only in unison with the disgraceful display of the incapacity 
of their navy during the Granco-Germau war. It seems al- 
most incredible that a government, while voting away vast 
sums of money for grand State dinners, could not find a few 
crumbs left with which to initiate a series of competitions 
which would materially add to the brilliancy aud eclat of the 
season. Such things as our international meetings at Cape 
May and on the Schuylkill will, ns it appears, not form a 
prominent part of the French exhibition. 
Boating at Baltimore.— Our Baltimore correspond?!)! 
sends the following : 
“Considerable interest is being awakened in our yachting 
and rowing clubs for this season, and already the Patapsco is 
dotted in the afternoon with crews practicing for the summer 
regattas. Tho Undine, one of the best of our Baltimore 
crows, will have a spurt with tho famous Analostan Club, of
