successful enterprise, industry, and skill in manufactures 
and other businesses, enable them frequently to enjoy at the 
Belvidere and elsewhere, the otium cum dignilaU. Con- 
spicuous among the distinguished personages present, was 
the great patriarch and father of racket players, the elder 
Mr. Pitman, now in his 85th year, who came to witness the 
athletic and skilful feats of his own son Matthew, now in his 
52nd year, as well as more juvenile players ot the present 
generation, who, for age, might almost have been his ow m 
grandchildren ; and who, however disposed he be 
to give them a due meed of praise for then- excellences, 
were still, in all probability, in his eyes, not what the crack 
Savers were in his younger days. It was pleasing to mark 
the* interest which the venerable gentleman took in th ® 
games, and instructive to those who were within reach ot 
his voice, to hear him point out, with the judgment and dis- 
crimination of a profound master of the scieiicethc 
and defects of the play ot the several artistes. With 1 
nride he displayed a snuff-box testimonial of respect to him- 
self, and another a trophy of the prowess of one of his three 
highly^takntedsoiw ^ ^ day were opened by a match 
between Samuel Young and Frank Erwood, against George 
Erwood and John Sowdcn. The first game was won by 
tlie last-named players bv 11 to 7, and the second and 
third by the two tirst-named by 11 to 5 and 11 to 10, t he 
final game, up to the hist moment, being anybody s. The 
heat of the sun, and the indisposition ot George Erwood, 
occasioned materially by fatigue arising from his anx ety to 
arrange everything for the comfort of his friends and the 
publief rendered it advisable for him to desist awhile from 
Fiis exertions. The second match was therefore arranged , 
The London Amateur and one of the finest amateur players 
in England were pitted against Bull and Young, two of the 
best professionals in the kingdom. G in 
ceeded in winning every game m the fiist by 11 to 6, 
the second, an exceedingly hard game, by 11 19 10, and m 
the last bv 11 to S. The third match was single-handed 
letweenVhe brothers George and Frank Erwood, Frank 
the younger carrying off the palm, in the one game by 11 
lo 3, y aZ the o'the!- by 11 to 5 The fourth match i wa*| 
also single-handed, between John Bowden and John 
Caplin, the former gentleman winning by 11 to 4. 1 lie 
players in the fifth match were Greatwood and John 
Sowden against Samuel Y oung and J ohn Caplin. The fir st 
two ^ames were won by Greatwood and Sowden, by 11 to 
4 and 11 to 3; and the third by Youn" and Caplm by 11 to

govern overy chess player. On that occasion ho was empowered 
to ontor into communication with Messrs. Jnoniseh and lloydo-

ing out this object. They had entered heartily into the scheme, 
acknowledging the desirability of its accomplishment, nod 
1 Mr. Jaonisoh had written an elaborate work hearing upon tho laws, 
which lie iMr. Staunton) was translating for publication in Eng- 
land, nnd bo had hopes of its being issued during tho proaont year. 
Tho first stop towards realising their great object was to acquire 
some knowledge of the ancient moves and power of tho chass-mon, 
and to ascertain when that remarkable change in tho moves took 
plnco which gavo us our prasont games; and, for this purposo, to 
obtain abstracts of tho different laws which from time to time hod 
been devised to govern play. Many works now ohsololo had been 
consulted, and materials which had hitherto been boyoinl the 
reach of modern masters, including the MSS. of Greco nnd othor 
ancient masters, which had been discovered in somo of tlie Italian 
libraries. Tho originals were, of aourso, priceless ; but tho pro-

dittlouUios hitherto experienced in tracing the nnciont moves nnd 
power of tho men. (A portion of tho copied MSS. was exhibited 
by Mr. Staunton. It is an exact imitation of tho original, which 
is shown to bo n bountiful specimen of Italian oaligrnpliy of tho 
thirteenth century.) The MSS. of Greco, continued Mr. Stnnnton, 
hud provod most valuable, having enabled him to sottlo many con- 
troverted points ns to tho old usage of tbo game. Tho first point 
which had been under tho consideration of Messrs. Jiionisch, Hoy- 
dobrnnd, ami himself, waft tho desirability of a uniform and universal 
system of notation. Tho matter had been very fully discussed, and 
they all agreed that tho adoption of the German system of notation 
would bo the best; but while convinced of tho importance of carrying 
it into effect, lie was satisfied that tho objection of young pluyora to 
any system of notation which did not describe tho exact pieces would 
prove an insuperable barrier to tbo general adoption ot tho German 
system. This was much to bo lamented, ns tho abstract notation 
prevailed almost throughout tbo Continent. (Hear, hear!) Tho 
chief points with respect to the laws which engaged tlioir attention 
wore : — First, tli vex at a ijur.it io of counting fifty moves, with 
respeot to which they nil throe differed, his own opinion being that 
the practice would ho a good ono if they had some moans of deciding 
tho exact time when tho counting should commence; secondly, the 
rulo prescribing penalties for illegal moves, — his own suggestion 
being that in such an event the person so violating tho rulo should 
forfeit the movo, or ho compelled to movo Ills King at his opponent's 
potion ; thirdly, with regard to queening n pawn, Jiionisch being in 
favour of tho present rule, to which, however, ho (Mr. Staunton) 
i was opposed, believing that it was n violation of tho principles 
of tho game to give such preposterous power to tho Queen. 
I Potroff, tho groat Russian player, was in favour of tho pawn, nftor 
i obtaining the opposite gaol, still remaining a pawn, lint that was 
mi error, for it would then ho n nullity, ns it would ho unnblo, 
being only a pawn, to movo backwards, and forwards it could not 
go. Hoar, hear!) lhs own suggestion was that tho pawn, hav- 
ing fought its way to tho further end of the hoard, should have tho 
power of tho Queen ns it had by tho prosent rules. In tho 
elucidation of tho ancient power of tho Queen, Mr. Staunton 
introduced soir.o interesting facts, showing tho praotico in Greco's 
time. The othor points discussed were tho right to take a 
pawn cu passant, Jaonisoh wishing for tho abrogation of tho law, 
on tho ground that it violated tho principle of tho game, hut lie 
(Mr Staunton), wliilo acknowledging tlie force of Joenisnli s nolo 
arguments, was for maintaining tho present rule, becauso its abo- 
lition, although it would greatly add to tho spirit of tho game, 
would so iinmensoly ineivnso the alrondy preposterous power of 
Queen pawns. Mr. Staunton stated thoro wore two other points 
discussed, tho right of lookers on io iatorfero with a gamo, which 
ho thought should ho restricted to onlling attention to false moves; 
nnd the disposition of tho board, with regard to which nothing very 
material transpired. _ 
At tho conclusion of this interesting statement, a vote or thunks 
was, by neolamution, accorded to Mr. Staunton, and tho congress 
separated without entering into a discussion, whioh wns precluded 
by the arrival of the dinner hour. 
The annual dinner of tho association wns held on the Bntiiruay 
evening, at tho Adolpl.i Hotel. About 30 gentlemen sat down ; Mr. 
Schwabe, occupying tho chair, supported bv Mr. Staunton and M.
