CURSOHY JOTTINGS. 
ITT- Our Problem Tourney closet July 1, 1878, 
ihis call. 
—A line chess column has been added to the Argus and Express, of 
Ayr, Scotland. It Is edited by Mr. Norton, we believe. 
— MacKenzle and Mason will represent America In the Players' In- 
ternational Tourney at Paris. Loyd will also participate in the problem 
tourney. 
—Again wc call the attontlon of our readers to our photographic 
problem (ourney. Friends, do not fall to send us a two-move problem 
and a photograph, together with a tourney set. 
—Tho annual lntcr-unlvcrslty chess match, betweon Oxford and 
Cambridge Universities, took place at the rooms of the St. George Chess 
Club, London, Eng , and resulted In a victory for the Cambridge repre- 
sentatives by a score of 10 to 2 . 
—The Detroit Free Press Problem Tourney No. 3 Is a decided success. 
Thlrty-flve sets, containing one hundred aud five problems, have been 
entered. Mr. Bull's problem department Is the best that appears In 
any newspaper that reaches our table. 
—The Chest Players' Chronicle Is now published by W. W. Morgan, 67 
Barbican, E. C., London, Eog. This chess magazine Is ably edited by 
Rev. C. E. Ranken, with the co-operation of G. B. Fraser, fisq., Rev. 
A. B. Sklpwortb, Rev. Professor Wayte aDd J. Crum, Esq. The terms 
of subscription are six shillings and postage per annum. 
—Connecticut friends request that we call upon resident players to 
forma State Chess Association nod solicit subscriptions for a Slate 
Challenge Championship Cup. This we willingly do, and In a way that 
Insures the success of such an undertaking. Bro. Beldcn, of the Times, 
w« request you to lake this matter In hand. “Do not fall In this.” 
— Belden aud success are synonyms In Connecticut chess. 
—Tho chess department In tho Hartford Globe has made Its reappear- 
ance under the management of Mr. A. N. Cunningham, one of the 
strongest players In Connecticut. Mr. Cunningham's predecessor and 
our successor, Mr. Max Peller, discontinued this column on account of 
111 health. We congratulate the proprietors that they have obtained so 
able and competent a chess ediior. 
— The American Chess Journal (March and April) has made lta ap- 
pearance under the metropolitan management. Tne editors are Dr. C. 
C. Moore, Samuel Loyd, G. n. MacKenzle and James Mason. This 
publication has been Improved In every respect, aud should be In the 
bands of every lover of chess. It Is not necessary that we give space 
to an extended notice of this magazine, as It “ speaks for Itself." We, 
however, advise our chess readers to subscribe for it without further 
delay. The price Is oulv $3 per annum. Address Dr. C. C. Moore, No. 
6S Courtland st., NewY ork. 
—Thompson, of the Derbyshire Advertiser and Journal, of Derby. 
Ettg., occasionally glies the Chess Editor of the Cleveland Fofeea hard 
hit, and above the belt, loo. The latter, of course, responds In his 
usual manner. We admire Thompson's spirit of Independence and 
fearless expression of his opinions. Mr. McKlm sooner or later 
And out that men of Independence and opinions are respected by the 
chess public, and are entitled to decent treatment by contemporaries. 
—The International Tourney is no longer one-sided. Honors are now 
easy, the score standing 4 to 4. Belden has been coaching " onr side 
“ Friend K , of the Forest and Stream, spurs us up to do a little 
coaching lo the International Tourney. We take the hint, friend, and 
we will begin with you. Now, Mr. Kunkel, America expects you to 
win a majority of the games from your antagonist. Nothing less than 
three out of four will satisfy us. Do not fail In this.” 
Friend Belden, wcthall fail In this, as onr opponent istooskv In 
transmitting moves. Thus far, we have received and answered five 
letters. If the games are continued at this rate yon will, at the expira- 
tion of the two years, be called upon, as the American umpire, to eud 
them ; consequently, there Is no necessity that yon begin coaching In 
this quarter. Belden very sensibly paragraphed us as follows last 
week: 
“ In Forest and Stream Mr. Kunkel has resumed, or at least Intimates 
that he will resume very soon, his “ Cursory Jottings," or gossipy notes, 
which promised lomake his column so Interesting when It first started. 
Dropping this feature, friend K., was a mistake." 
This opinion of the leading paragrapher of the world Is but too true, 
notwithstanding several chess editors are of a contrary opinion. How- 
ever, we are not altogether In the fault, as this week's "uottlngs " have 
long been crowded ont by the demand Ur space by other departments 
•f this paper. In fact this 1 is Interpolated In order to Impart a " fresh 
ened flavor " to the balance cf the “ Cursory." That wc so often, es- 
pecially this week, quote from tho Hartford Times, may appear Inex- 
plicable to many of our readers, and we therefore state, by way of ex- 
planation and Justification, that "for good things we are always imly 
grateful,” and are not slow to avail ourselves of them. 
—One of the most Inter sting features of the Times chess column is 
the correspondence department which the chess editor ha9 long 
neglected until quite recently. We extract from a recent issue the fol- 
lowing, which, we do not doubt, will Interest and amuse our readers: 
Here Is a " chat ’ with John Gardner, of Boston Ma«s.: 
“ You will observe that Mr. Luster acknowledges the corn In a manly 
way, but look out, bye and bye ‘ Ue 'titer may have de lloab. ’ " 
With Luster, of Elizabeth, N. J., the “chat” runs : 
“ Of course. That's all right. A man must Btep up occasionally. 
Remember dat 
■ De big sunflower may rise above 
De modest ‘later vine, 
An' brag about Its Sunday clothes, 
An' put on airs eo line ; 
But when de winter howls around. 
An' de snow lies at de doali, • 
De big sunflower— oh ! whar am he? 
De ‘tater hez do floah 1 ’ 
—The Westminster Papers Is, If we may be allowed the expression, 
not only the chess classical magazine of the day, but Its editor posesaes 
a vein of sarcasm, combined with a felicitous manner of communicat- 
ing it to a reader. The following Is a part of an answer to a speech of 
Mr. Mlncbln, at the dinner given the Oxford and Cambridge teams by 
the St. George Chess Club, upon the conclusion of the recent annual 
chess match between these “ 'varsities : " 
. • • « And thereat, a singular exhibition of bad taBte took, 
place, in the shape of a wl d and virulent attack, made by Mr. J. J. 
Mtnchln, upon this and other Journals, comprising, to use his own 
words. 1 tho greater portion of the metropolitan chess press. It muy 
be objected that Mr. Minchln did not mention names, and In fact, that 
objection hasjbcen put forward by persons of a Corlolauua turn of mind, 
save that to do the turn-coat Roman Justice, he did not abjectly wor- 
ship while assisting his country'* foe. However, such evasions are 
nothing to ns. Mr. Mlnohln’s meaulDg was well underntood, and were 
he of any authority In the chess world, we might condescend to answer 
him. However, he has never shone cither as a player or a writer, or in 
any other way. lie Is simply the Secretary of the St. George Chess 
Club, and we take 11 upon ourselves to dissever that old and respectable 
association from the action of their official in this matter, and we do 
not consider them responsible In any wuy. In putting Mr. Minchln 
aside, we may Jnst demur from any assertion of Ills. He claimed to 
make his ill-mannered attack In the character of an ' English gentle- 
man.’ It would be as easy to eat a mutton chop In the character of a 
vegetarian.” 
We expect at least one tourney tet from each reader. Oblige. 
— W. A. Shenkman, the famous American problemist, has composed 
1,200 chess problems. As a two-move problem composer Mr. Shenk- 
tnau la probably the finest and most successful In tho world, and a hook 
containing h'.s beautiful and charming two-move Ideas, will meet with 
a favorable reception. 
—We hope that all of our problem friends will not forget to contribute 
a set to our problem tourney. We are especially anxious that our 
foreign friends compete, and as an Inducement, guarantee tho fairness 
aud Impartiality of the umpire. One and all should bear In mind tha 
the tourney closes the world over July 1, 1878. Do not delay your sete 
—The Schach Zeitung has failed to reaoh our new address thus far, 
but we nevertheless live In hope. Will Dr. Schwedo give tho matter 
his attention, as well as call Dr. Gold's attention to the fact that ho h 
equally negligent ? Is ish nicht sehr schwcr 1 
—Mr. Relchelm, of the Chess Record, 1b one of the “ big gun ” prob 
lemlsts. Ills last elaboration Is a 121-move problem, which, he asserts 
is sound, and that Waterbury, tho great solver, is wroDg in his solution 
In a less number of moves. 
—The Cleveland Voice gives Loyd’s Centennial two-mover, for tho 
third or fourth time, tho benellt of a diagram. This time, Mr. Carpen- 
ter's analysis arc published, which, we believe, is the first time that 
the Voice has presented the merits of this problem In that light. The 
I'otcc should now give space to a live issue, and let the post alone for 
awhile, as “ variety Is the spice of life.”

of Mr. P. Heinz, of the Buffalo Audubon Club, at the State 
shoot for the Pierce Diamond Badge— a clean score of fifteen 
straight birds ; five clean on tics at twenty-six yards, and the 
same number at thirty-one yards ! Contest No. 4, with ten 
ties on fourteen birds, was good work also. We might afford 
to chance thut team in a match with our Western friends. 
Ohio— Ashtabula, May 31.— Quail, partridge and woodcock 
more abundant than for several years past. Good outlook

having plenty of pinnated grouse this season, as they arc very 
plenty this spring. No ducks or geese stop here. V. G. N, 
Kansas —Elltncorlh, May 27.— Quite a large number of 
flocks (covies, I should say,) of youDg chickens have been seen 
of late, and we anticipate some very fine shooting in August. 
We have some very good dogs here, all setters, but I have 
made up my mind to have a “Sensation” pup as soon us 1 
can afford to get one, as the pointer is the dog for this section. 
G. E. A. 
Gabbier Pigeons.— M r. L. Waefelacr, of Hoboken, N. J., 
complains that three of his Antwerp carrier pigeons, which 
were set free at Mauch Chunk, Pa., May, 29, returned home 
badly wounded by shot. Wo do not suppose that tho man or 
hoy who committed the outrage ever reads this journal ; it 
would therefore be useless to call attention to the fact that 
carrier pigeons are not generally trained for the purpose of af- 
fording sport to thoughtless Bhooters.

A Dangrbous Shell. — W e have no hesitation in pro- 
nouncing a peculiar kind of shell— with a screw top— as a 
dangerous one. A correspondent has sent us a shell which, 
exploding in a person’s hand, inflicted a had wound. The 
defect lies iu the tightening of the head of the shell by means 
of a cover which fits into the screw of the shell case itscli- 
A little over tension in screwing on this top explodes the cap-
