The protest has been forwardod to the Local Government Board, and a mornncat is on foot BMBg the principal ratepayer, to ask them to appoint paid guardians to manage the affairs of the anion. Closely following the organised attack made upon the police Macroom, oa Wednesday evening, come a report of an extraordinary ontragc from the same town, in which the life of at least one.

person was attempted, and a reckless disregard shown for the safety of many others. Vhat was atflrst thought to be an infernal machine was exploded in front of the premises of "William Twohig, who carries oa the busiheas of a Tintncr and Hoar dealer In the principal bnaiaess centre of tha who holds one or farms in the neighbourhood of Macroom. The front of his shop wis completely' blown, away, including two large panes of plate glass and a heavy iron guard. The glass in the upper windows and of those in adjoining houses wis also broken, tnd" piece of scrap iron were bdged in a bor 20 yards distant. Mr.

Twobig himself was in the shop at tha time the outrage was committed, bathe, as well as thtae in the street, though greatly alarmed, escaped Upon an 'examination by the police it was found that the iron box of a carriage wheel, with a use fastened to the iron guard of Mr, Twohig's premise. This was loaded with gunpowder and Bjcrap iron, and from the fact that Mr. Twohig was in the shop at the time there can be no doubt that the object was to injure, if not to murder him. Mr. Twohig recently purchased a farm from which a previous tenant had been evicted i has eTer since been tunpcpular.

Later still ha has had occasion to eriet a tenant, who wa relying upon the intimidation of the local branch of the League to pro tecthim from the consequences; of hi not paying rent. A man named John Rearden, areJatire of the evicted tenant, has been arrested in connexion with the outrage. The trial of Burgeon Major Cross for the murder of his wife by poisoning on June 2, was resumed to day at Monster Winter Mr. Justice Murphy. Again the Court was densely crowded, and a large number of people collected in the neighbourhood of the Court house, seeking' to gain admission, but only those who had ticket were admitted.

Mr. Tyndall, who is married to the late Mrs. Cross's sister, was examined, and stated that on the 17th of June he had a conversation with Dr. Cross in England, in which the latter said his wife died from angina pectoris. Mr.

Marriott, of AbbottVbaU, Essex, brother to the deceased, raTe evidence as to his sister's marriage, with Dr. Cross in August, Her fortune, at hi father's death, over 3,000... "Witness received a1 letter from prisoner on May 9 in which he said that Mrs. Cross had been ill with typhoid eTer for a week. On June 2 Dr.

Crow wrote announcing the death. He said that fever was very rife in the district, and that his wife died from continued fever and txhaustionof the poor weak heart. Her heart had for a longtime been ao weak that he wondered how it carried her along for such a length of time. Mr. Squires, of the Eegistrar Geaerar office, proved that Dr.

Cross registered his wife's death as from typhoid fever, and that she was ill tor 14 days. She wa aged 46 years. This closed the ease for the prosecution, and Mr. Atkinson, Q.C., opened tha defence. He implored the jury to divest their minds of rumours which had been current to the prejudice of the prisoner, who had in no wsy acted inconsistently with the assertion of his innocence.

be did agreed with the action of an innocent man. Of course, there was suspicion, hut he would show them that there was nothing about the case that would justify them in saying that hi guilt was clearly established. The case was altogether baaed on circumstances. It seldom occurred that a man was willing to commit murder to get rid of a woman who was no impediment to him, and the circumstance brought ut br the Crown in reference to Mils Skinner (the prisoner present wife) therefore disclosed no sufficient motive for the murder of the late Mrs. Cross.

Alloding to the circumstances that though Mrs. Cross died at 1 o'clock at night. Dr. Cross informed no one of it until 6 O'clock in the morning, the learned counsel argued that guilty man would have done quite, the opposite. Had he been guilty he.

would have at once aroused tne servants and shed sham tears of sorrow over the woman he had murdered. No doubt the prisoner married, and it was not counsel's doty to defend that marriage from a moral or delicate point of view, but it was the thing above all others a criminal under the circumstances have avoided. The bottles about which Dr. Cross spoke to his sister in presence of a constable were found in Mrs. Crors's wardrobe, under lock and key, to which no one had access but bcrelf and one of them contained rouge and the other a toilette powder.

These were the only things' to which the conversation referred. If his object had been to destroy evidence of guilt, he had ample time to do so previously to his arrest. The whole case mainly depended ntJon the evidence of Professor Pearson, and if that wcro disregarded, the whole thing, would fall to the ground. He implored the jury net to trust too far to that evidence. Evidence for the defence was then gone into.

Mis Henrietta Cross, sister of the accused, was examined, and stated that her brother and the late Mrs. Cross lived 12 years at Ehandy ball. "Witness lived with them for the past two and a half years. Dr. Cross and his wife lived co pretty pood terms.

"Witness always considered Mrs. Cross a delicate On the night she died witness heard a scream from Mrs. Cross's room. She heard Dr. Croat walking about.and about ttve minutes after she beard the scream Dr.

Cross entered witness's room. Ehe got up and went to Mrs, Cross, who was lying quite still on the bed with her hand on her heart. Dr. Cross felt her pulse, and put Ids ear to her mouth, and witness ran er hot water, which she applied to her hands, but life appearid extinct." There was a bottle of brandy, on thechim neypieee.v When Miss IBkianer left 8 handy hall Dr. Cross went with her and ranained away three days.

In Cross examination 'the witness Mid that Mrs. Cross suspecUd nothing wrong, though the knew her. brother and Miss hkinaer stayed three days in the Hibernian Hotel, Dublin, witness at no time thought 'Mrs. Cress's illness dangerous. She attached no importance to the destruction of the bottles.

Mr. Adam addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and Mr. Wright replied for tne His Lordship will charge the jury to morrow morning. LIMERICK, Dsc. 16.

A Belfast correspondent telegraphs The executive committee of the eastern division of the Belfast Conservative Association hare met and passed a resolution expressing entire want of confidence in 4 the Parliamentary representative, Mr. Edward De Cobain, and their inability to continue any political connexion with him in future, and tbev reaucsted him to resicn his position as member of Parliament for the divison.

At the general election of 1SS5 SirJames P.

rith TO THE EDITOR "OF THE TIMES. Sir, A I have had comparatively close connexion the economical doctrine known a "fair trade," may at this critical moment, offer a word of advice through a your columns to tnose woo are oi a similar way or thinking to me In regard to the matter I believe I may fairly claim to have been the first to point out in a speech addressed to a Macclesfield gathering some times go what the Marquis of Hartington so strongly accentuated in hi recent speeen at jjuoiin nameiy, tnat, nowever practi cally desirable Cscal refonn may be, the circumstances and tendencies of the time clearly impres the necessity of assisting tha Government and not harassing them in the execution of certain more It should be obvious to those who are clamouring more or less incautiously for fair trade as it was known before the era of Cobdenism that reform of our fiscal system is now more than ever international, and involved in the larger questions of emigration and Imperial consolidation, both of which have already received quasi official cognizance. One great manufacturing nation is being unwillingly propelled by the force of circumstance, in the direction of greater freedom of exchange, and the wisest statesman ship at present is to wait the issue of events. This subject has long siace gone through the mill of controversy, and little or nothing new can be said as to the principles in volved. The reconciliation of divergent details i all im Accordingly I would suggest that if Mr.

Howard Vincent and the few who support his conduct desire to do something for the relief of labour and for the benefit of the industries of this country, their proper course is not to disintegrate the Unionist party, but to lay their heads together and determine a matter of fact programme, instinct with advantageous effects, in order that the light of discussion may show the benefit or blemishes ot their proposal.

On two notable occasions Jubilee Day and the Sunday of tha Trafalgar square riots it value as a pallia Institution waa conspicuously, proved; Yet the council themaelrca face to face with a deficit of 6.000, Yesterday th cfdiaary: weekly, mettmg of thl Board waa held at fiprbgrardena, when Lord MsgtmmorB Six tenders were opened and read by the chairman for boiler for the Abbey mUl jsniarfn; station, and that of Mcasr. Uodg and Eon, at the um of L4, wa accepted. Mr. UkqCXUM (chairman ol the Finance Committee) reported that the committee bad considered the estimate of the amount required to be raiaed In tha precept for the year 1(558, aad bad directed them to bo printed and copies seat to be members of the Board, and recommended that the Board do appoint Friday, tha 23d initat half past ciotK, to consider tne same.

This was approved, and it waa referred to the committee to consider a to the borrowing of money for the supply of fire hydrant instead of providing the same from current raie. Th Works and General Purposes Committee's report waa read as follows The attention of your committee baa been directed to a scries of letters published ia the Finantial Nevi of Saturday, December 10, and purporting to have been addressed by Mr. J. nebb, the assistant architect, to Mr. Harris, of the Drury lana Theatre.

The letters, which range in date from January 9, 18M, to December 15, 18S5, all contain request for order of admission to tho theatre. Your committee, upon having their attention drawn to these thought it their duty immediately to send'for Mr. Hcbb and to ask him for explanations. Mr. Hebb admitted the authenticity of the letters, and, in reply to the question whether the order of admission asked for were for himself or for members of the Board, he said that at this distance of timo it was difficult to remember with accuracy, but that he had little doubt that the orders were for himself or for his personal friends.

As in one of the letters, dated March 10, 1M4, the' requestfor tickets pur ported to have been made on behalf of Mr. Tumiss. a member of the Board, your committee asked Mr. Hebb whether he remembered having applied for tickets for Mr, Furniss, and he replied that he did not remember having done so. He said that he was under the impression that he had written for ticket for member of the Board, but that he could now remember the name of only one for whom he bad written, and that wa.

Mr. iell, who had ceased to bo a member of the Board. He said, in reply to a further question, that he could not recollect baring written for any other member. Having been asked whether he had written to any other manager besides Mr. Harris, Mr.

Hebb said that he had frequently written to other nnta the rupflcsestary report tan be This wat not seconded. Mr. HaRnxx then moved the preriou queaon, whkh waa carried after a short discussion, in which it was stated that altogether daring last year 40,000 had been spent for ice sewers ana fcuj.uuj at tna outxaiis. Tha Board, after the transaction of aoma routiaa buai neas, adjourned until Friday next. OBITUARY manager: that he had found it inconvenient toco to theatre armed only with the authority which he held from the Board and that he had preferred to have an order from the manager of the theatre.

He mentioned that on one occasion a Mr. Harru manager at Drury Iane had refused to admit him on production of the Board's order, and had told him that if he wanted to go to the theatre he must hare an order from Mr. Hams, and that he would be treated in just the same way as the Lord Chamberlain's officials were treated. Your committee asked Mr. Hebb whether a letter to Mr.

Harris, dated December l.r, 18S5, the last of the letters published by the Financial If net, was the last of the kind that he had written to Mr. Harris. He answered that, so far a he could remember, it waa the last, and that be had not been 'to Drury lane Theatre for two years, no further stated that he had not asked for any tickets for a theatre since the matter wa brought under the notice of the chairman of the Board tw year aco. but that he had accepted order given to him. He said that he might perhaps bave written to a manager, but only wnen tne managers nad previously offered him tickets and asked him to write for them when he wanted them.

Mr. Hebb added, in reply to a further question, that he had never given to any member Of the Board tickets voluntarily sent to him. He further stated that when he went to a theatre to see a perform ance, he never did so under the euise of discharging his duty a an offioer of the Board. With reference to the mention here made of the matter being brought before the chairman two years ago, it is right to state that the chairman informed your committee that at that tiue be had received a communication from Mr.Hare. one of tbe.Ieasees of the St.

James's Theatre, forwarding a letter which he had received from Mr; Hebb aslant: for a box at the theatre. Mr. Hebb, it appears, had written to Mr. Hare making this reanest in eanacitv as the officer of the Board intrusted with the inspection of theatres, and Mr. Hare at once very properly forwarded the letter to the chairman of the Board.

The chairman informed your committee that on the receipt of Mr. Hare's letter he ad monished Mr. Hcbb. and warned him that if such a matter were again brought to his notice it would be bis duty to report it to the Board. It so happens that Mr.

Hebb' letter to Mr. Hare was dated December lo, loco, tne same as the last letter to Mr. Harris published by the Financial Hem. Members of the Board are aware that some time ago statement were freely made that the officers of the Board whose duty it was to visit theatres were in the habit of requiring the managers to give them orders of admission to the performance but the letters published in the Financial Jfetct are the first proof the Board has had of the correctness of these allegations. Your committee need hardly say that they much regret that an officer in the responsible position of Mr.

Hebb should have condescended to proceedings of the character hero referred to. Such proceedings are manifestly calculated to give rise in the mind of the public to grave suspicion and mistrust of the Board's administration. The matter is one which, in the opinion of your committee, requires prompt and decisive action on the part of the Board and they regret that they see no alternative bat to recommend that Mr. Hebb be at once called upon to reign his office." Mr. G.

Edwards, as deputy chairman, regretted that it was his duty to myve the. adoption of the report, and was sorry that any officer of tho Board should so far have forgotten himself to have acted as Mr. Hebb had done. If Mr. Hebb had anything further to say in his defence the committee, he (Mr.

Edwards) was sure, would give it every attention. He was surprised that Mr. Harris should bave kept the matter so long to himself instead of coming to the Board at the outset, when the matter would have been Sut a stop to as long back as 1891. (Cheers.) Mr. Hare, le proprietor of St.

James's Theatre, had acted better by writing to the Board stating what had occurred. (Hear: hear.) He (Mr. Edwards) did not believe any member of the Board had been guilty of receiving orders for theatre. tie (air. Edwards! bad not.

RlCBARDSO" seconded, and said that Mr. Hebb had been guilty of no act of the kind since ha was censured 'in 1SS4. in consequence of the receipt of Mri Hare's lcttter. (Hear, hear.) Mr. J.

Webb said the committee wa acting in a very precipitate manner, and it seemed to him that the Beard were trying to rush Mr. Hebb over the Tarpeian rock of indignation." (Great laughter.) He could not see that Mr. Hebb had done anything very wrong, bnt merely endeavoured to find amusement for hi own little children. 1 Oh," and hear, hear.) Mr. H.

Hakbej thought there should be a public refutation of the charges. mr. nssu aiso aesirca vo nave sue matter uueauea out Mr. J0B5 Jojoa (Strand) said the committee had come to their decision in secret and with only a few members being cognizant of the matter. He strongly urged the Board not to ruin a man's character over so trifling a matter as receiving an order for a theatre, as it was well known that theatrical "paper was as plenteous as thistles or snowflakes at certain seasons of the year when the managers of theatre would rather people went in free than that there should be nothing but empty boxes.

(Cheers.) He objected to public letters being re cevied by the chairman and not brought before the Board as waa the case in the matter referred to. (Cries of Order," and uproar in the public gallery.) Air. it. u. jvebstxk, ai.r.

expressed surprise at tne demonstration in the public gallery. The CiLUKMJLX said he had not noticed the demonstra tion, but could' not allow such expression of feeling. He had received a private letter, and had acted in his judg ment as he thought right. Had it been a public letter it would have been read. If such a letter, wa received by him at any future time addressed to himself he should act a he thought right a on this occasion.

(Uproar in the gallery, which was immediately suppressed.) Mr. J. R. Jolly thought Mr. Hebb should have an opportunity to' state his defence.

As to Mr. Harris he thought the very fact of his having continued to give Mr. Hebb order showed that he was the more guilty Coloiux HcaiiES, M.P., said he bad not had time to go into the matter. Mr.

Cook said the Works Committee could not inquire Into the charge made against the Building Act Committee. The amendment was lost by 27 against 12. Mr. H.IIAUBO then moved to hear Mr. Hebb In hi defence, which wa, after com discussion, agreed to.

Mr. Hkbb (assistant architect) then asked that he might have some time to prepare his defence and get for ward witnesses. Mr. W. SnxrnXB that the matter stand ad ourned till the second meeting of the Board after the Christmas recess, which was agreed to.

That tha ouea, The Austrian array baa jurt lost a distinguished general by the death of Field Marshal Lieutenant Hermann Maluer von Be wu a satire of Bielitx, in Silesia, where be waa borai la 1829. Educated for a legal career, hi studies vera cut short by th event of 1848, which compelled him to enter the army. Of Imirgtvii origin and totally without Influence or private mean, hi early military life waa full of hardship, through which be persevered with remarkable courage and industry.

At length he wa fortunato encugh to be nominated to the Adjutant Corp, where hi many accomplishment, and especially his high erjanixinj geniua, found a congenial arena. From this moment his promotion wa rapid. In the campaign against Italy in 1S59 he served with distinc tion. He waa appointed to the general staff, and on the re establishment of peace was employed by the Austrian Foreign Office on several military and diplomatic mixtions to foreign countries. During the war of 1SG6 he was attached to the 7th Army Corp, and wa the hero of a dashing charge at the battle of Custoaaa.

Hi colonelcy, wa soon transformed Into a brigade command, In 1878 he was intrusted with the difficult post st Banjalnka, and, although he acouitted himself successfully, hi health became permanently undermined by the heavy work and trying anxieties which he. had cheerfully undertaken. General Mallnerven Manege was a Knight of the Order of Leopold and of several foreign orders. He waa one of the most cultivated officers in the Austrian service and spoke fluently, in addition to his native German and other. European language.

Hungarian, Polish, and most of the Austro Slavonie dialects. He was thus in a position to converse with the' various nationalities represented in the Austrian army and he found this exceedingly useful. although a strong advocate of the linguistic unification of the service. In politics ha was a rigid Centralist. His soldierly frankness and kindness of heart won for him the affection of the troop he commanded, while his many talent rendered him not less popular in civil A painful sensation has been caused in Vienna by the suicide of a distinguished General in the army, Field Marshal Lieutenant Gustave von Greiner.

Born in 1817 at Anspach, Bavaria, he entered the Austrian army in hi 17 th year, serving at first in the 10th Regiment of. Dragoons. He was afterwards transferred to a Hussar1 regiment, and became favourably known as a daring and capable officer. He took part in the campaigns of 1S48 and 1849 against Hungary nd that of 1SGG against Prussia. His services obtained for him high military preferment, and several important decoration.

As field Marshal Lieutenant he was in command of the 11th Division of Infantry at Lemberg until 1877, when he retired on half pay. The death i announced of M. Pierre Augusta Lemaire, the wall known professor of rhetoric, in his 86th He was bnm at Brian court, in the Department of the Meuse, in 1802. After a brilliant University career be waa appointed professor of rhetoric successively at the Saint Louis, Buonaparte, and Louis le Grand Colleges at Pari. A nephew of the famous French philologist, Nicolas Lemaire, he at first collaborated with him in, and after, wards continued, the Bibliotheca Classic' Latina." To this well known series he contributed commentated editions of the PharsaHa" ofLucan (1830), of Terence," of Velleius Patereulu," of Pliny the Younger," of Lucretius," and of Silius Italicus." Among hi other works are Athena rum Panorama (1822) On History, with special reference Titus Livius" (1823); "The Liberation of the Greeks (1827) a 'poem which waa crowned by the Institute and several revised editions of the ever popular Grammaire des Grammaires." M.j Lemaire wa a Knight of the Legion of Honour.

He died in hi native town, whither he retired from active profes aorial work 40 years ago. From lessen the death Is announced of the ac complished architect, (Heinrich Ernest Schlrmer. A native of Leipsie, where he was bom in 1814, he entered the service of the Norwegian Government early in life.and employed in the designing and erection of public building. Many of the most beautiful edifice in Norway are due to him. His principal work was the restoration of Drontheim Cathedral, on which he was engaged from 18(0 to 1871.

After 35 years' service the Storthing con ferred on him a special pension, with which he retired from active life and settled in Germany. Scientific circle in Vienna have sustained a severe loss by the death of Professor Carl Lancer, the well known Professor of Anatomy at the' Vienna University, in his 65th year. He studied at Vienna and Prague and had an ex ceedingly successful University career. In 1842 he obtained an assistant professorship in his native city. In 1650 he was promoted to a professorship, and in 18S6 became Pro fessor of Zoology at the Budapest University.

Returning to Vienna in 1670. he was appointed Professor of Anatomy at the Josefinum and the University. Prof easor Langer, although to the old school of anato mists, waa highly esteemed for hit vast learning and immense industry in research and experiment His Manual of Anatomy (Vienna, 18CS), which has been translated into almost every European language, eontalna an almost unrivalled record of personal study and experi ment, lie wa a busy and voluminous writer and a notable figure in Viennese society. In recognition of bis eminence as a scientist, tne created nun, a lew years baex, a Privy Councillor, with the title of Bitter von Edenberg. A distinguished violinist and composer ha been removed by the death of Miska (Michael) Hauser.

Born at Pressburg, in Hungary, in 1822, he manifested at an early age a remarkable taste and attachment for music. Conradin Kreutzcr taught him the violin, and to rapid was his progress that he wa enabled to appear in public in hi 12th year. Hi first performances were cordially received by the musical public but his friend wisely resolved that his training should be matured before he ventured defi nitely on a public career. At the Vienna Conservatoire he made further studies under Mayseder, and for composition became a pupil of Sechtcr. He then undertook, with hi father, himself an accomplished amateur violinist, a musi cal tour through Germany, and wu received with such en couraging appreciation that he wa induced to extend hi journey to the; north, visiting successively Denmark, Sweden, and Norway, and traversing the whole of Busaia aa far as Siberia.

Returning to Vienna, he visited England in 1848, whence he journeyed to Canada, the United States, Mexico, and Peru, and finally completed hi tour with a circuit of the Australian colonic. In the concert he gave during this long voyage he wa assisted by the pianist Laveneau.the singer Gerold, and Madame Pattinos, a well known singer. In addition to acting a manager of this little company and it principal performer, he found leisure to contribute a series of travelling letters to the Ottdcuiiche Pott of Vienna, the vivacity of which pro cured for them a wide circulation. They were afterward revised by their author and reprinted in two volumes under the title Travelling Diary of an Austrian Virtuoso (Leipsie, 18S9). After a visit to Italy and the East, where he earned further applause and another for tune, he retired into private life, only at long intervals appearing in public either as composer or performer.

His last concert waa given in 1874 at Cologne. Hauler waa in his day a violinist of undoubted brilliancy and technical skill; but it is doubtful whether, had his career been dated(20 year later, he would have successfully rivalled the greatest of contemporary instrumentalists. His compositions for the violin are valuable, and some of hi Lieder ohne Worte and his arrangements of Schubert's "Licder still enjoy a deserved popularity. MR. BURKE AND THE SEPARATISTS; TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir. Lord RoBcbery ia convinced that the Separatists are heirs of the Whig tradition, and that tho baldordaah which would attribute tome weight to the commerce and the aristo cracy and tho cnirnro and the wealth of Ireland in deciding the Constitution and mouldim? tha destinies of that cons try is a new fangled heresy' begotten of Liberal Unionist depravity. He formulates tnat heresy as tollows we are told that we are not to count by heads, not by mere massc3, bnt to consider in any great question what is the view that tho wealth and intelligence of the nation take." Last night Lord Rosebery appealed to tho authority of Edmund Burke. 'Here are the words of that apostolic father" upon the doctrine condemned by Lord Eosebery as an impious novelty. I see as little of policy or utility as there is of right," he says in the "Appeal from the new to the old Whirs in laying down a principle that a majority of men told by the head are to be considered as the people, and that.

as such, their will is. to be law." To act as a people they must be 44 in that state of habitual social discipline in which the wiser, the more expert, and the more opulent conduct" tha rest.

16. JLNTI JACOBDf. CHESS. THE BRITISH CHESS ASSOCLiTION. The match pending between Burn and Guns berg to decide the tie arrived at in the Masters' Tournament at the close of its rounds on the yth ot December waa drawn by consent yesterday.

At the finish of the fourth game on Thursday, which Burn ought to have won, the score was even one each and two drawn games, yesterday another drawn game wa played. The consideration that the first game won by either would secure him the leading position in the Masters' Tournament and the chess championship of 18S7 naturally increased the interest of the onlookers, and if possible yet further incited the energies of the player. In the competition which concluded on December 9 Burn and Guns berg tied for first and second prues, with eiht game each out of a possible nine. Blackburne waa third with six and a half games, and Zakertort fourth with six' games, aad the four prise thus fell as generally expected from the first, the probable order of the winner bavins? alone formed the subject of speculative interest. Of the ten competitors in the Masters' Tournament four only (the winner) cave bad any practice wnicn would lustily leziti mate hopes of success.

Blackburne In the cummer had caused considerable surprise ia chesa circles by defeating the world' ex champion Zakertort, who had long been thought invincible, by a score of five to one. Zukertort. it is true, had lost to Steinita in America ia 1886. the latter scoring ten to four but Blackburne's victory waa in a greater ratio and under more favourable circumstance, and for the moment be was thought by. some of his friend to be unequalled even by Steinits himself.

Success, however, in ehej, is somewhat fluctuating, and in the most recent event of chesa interest, a match between Mack burne and Gunsberg. the famous English player himself in turn bad to submit to discomfiture, winning two game only to hi opponent' five. The four who are the prise 1 winner tne present competition nave been in splendid practice throughout the year, and they all had the advant age of competing at Frankfort in tha summer in a tourna ment. The attendance lat the British Chess Club during these competitions and its daily increasing tendency, with the great interest and pleasure manifested in the play and in comparing the various styles exhibited, all combine to prove that there I no abatement either in the appreciation with which these periodical trials of cheat skill have so long been regarded, or in the consideration entertained for 1 I 1 I .1 sna Bsouunoij isavn aj sue community ox eness admirers and supporter to those who participate in them, not only to the few remaining of the old masters, who are already favourites, but also to the young players, whose skill and success hare ao fully justified their ambition in entering the tournament, as well a to the brilliant amateur whose specimens are frequently found quite as interesting ana attractive, not in every respect to exact, a those of the more experienced master. The other competition still in progress are those for the amateur championship and Newnes challenge cup.

the Raskin and the Tennyson prises, and they are all under the immediate supervision of the British Cheat i Associa tion, this beinr it third annual eoneresa. In eonseauence of the impracticability of obtaining the attendance of our distinguished foreign and American brother eheaa player all together at this period of the year, the idea originally: broached of an International: tournament had to be abandoned for the time and Is postponed till next' year, the chief of the eompetltioni actually arranged by the council having been for home masters only. Asa national masters tournament, however, the present will.eompare ia interest with any previouslv held. for though Steinitx. now living at Brooklyn, Captain Mac kenzie oi xv ew era, mawer ox arsaw, ana xenigorin of St.

Petersburg four of the greatest chess olarers in the world and the most successful international tournament pUytrs wtre not competing, we yet had Blackburne, Zukertort, Burn, and Gunsberg, equal in record and re nown, and they are four of the five champion winners in the seven International tournament held since 18S2. The last of these at Frankfort this summer fell to the champion of the United States (bom at Inverness)Captain Mackenzie. Blackburne, who was second on that occasion, has also been the winner in two of the other events at Hereford in .1685, and at tha Criterion, London, in 1886. The other chief prizes were secured by Zakertort, Criterion, London, 18S3 Winawer, Nuremberg, 1883 Gunsberg, Hamburg, 1S85 and Burs, Nottingham. 18S6.

The tournaments cf an international character since that of the Exhibition year in London, 1851. have been 20 in number. Of theae six have been held London, two in Vienna, one in Berlin, tlx in other parts of Germany, two in; Pari, two. in Kew and one in Philadelphia. Of these London 1851, 1862, and 1883.

Vienna 1873 and 1882. Berlin 1881, and Pari 1867 and 178 were on the largest scale, though those in Germany promoted by the Rational Association, though for much smaller prises, were scarcely of leas interest owing to their admirable management. The name of W. H. Pollock, the winner of last year' Masters' Tournament ini Belfast, when ha came in first before Blackburne and Burn be added to the list of victors seven contests named.

The third Chess Congress of the British Chess Association, though held at extremely short notice and so late in the year, has, nevertheless, been fairly suceessfuL That this year has not been allowed to pass without any chess celebration being held is the subject of considerable satisfaction to all players. It ia worthy of remark that in the present day these meeting are the only occasions upon which the leaders in cheaa are; found meeting together to compete, except in the few cases when matches for large stakes are arranged. One alone that between Steinitx and Zukertort absorbed as much money as would sufSce for three or four gatherings like the present.

Howard Staunton will always' be remembered a the greatest chess player: of hi day, and he wa the most viperous and entertaining of chesa writers. Those who witnessed hi play during lSt5 to 18f9, when he was still in full force, retain deep impressions of hi extraordinary powexa of combination, his soundness and accuracy. Although comparisons of chess player who lived or were ia practice at different time appear of little or ao value, we have yet been tempted once more to compare Staunton's, Anderasen', Horphy, and Steinitx' best games without arriving at any precise or definite ccncla sion except that Anderssea' stjlF.stlil appears more mveo tive and finer than any other, white Steinitx la pre eminent for care and patience, Burn and Mason inost resembling him in our day while Blackburne is often compared witn Morphy, and Bird's name has far many years been placed side by tide with that of Anderssen.
