At the cloaa of the rreat International Tourna ment of 1883 a retrospect of that most important chess rathvrhur annoared in Th Timet, with a rrcord of the principal International Tournament which had preriotrely been held. The preeent niwi n.n. A.

It forested with rninr nointa of noculiar and special interest, and nir be aa(d to hare a hUtory of its own. Tbe fact that the chief honour, both first and aeeond pritM, fall for the first time to two English player, a tut be ratifying eren to the most oormopoliUn the eboea circle, tbouch we nay all equally st that Zakcrtort, the doeiiire nctor tn two nt tne urgew toumaiaouva over uciu Paris. 1678, and London, 1883 should be with out any pnae wHawjvor win a unwecedsntcd in the history of tournament.

Another point, and one of the rreateet possible interest during the progron of the tournament, baa been the cloeeneas of the contest. At tbe beginning of the eleventh round the result was Quite uncertain, and various were the oninions as to tbo probable first priao winner. Oaptain Mackenzie, prior to his unfortunate slip with Oansberg, had been playing admirably, and stood high in favour. Each oi tho seven highest scores could either bo first or aerenth. and this natural It added materiallr to the interest in the latter rounds.

It is encouraeing to young aspirants to know that, difficult as chess is. aptitude and application with a fair decree of enthusiasm may enable him to reach tsxt close to.

if not to become quite, a master in chess. In the jkmmLmnT Tournament the improred force of young players prored quite a dutinguuhing ss well as a gratifying feature. This is particularly noticeable in the ease of some of the representa tiresofpast University teams, ror manr years the annual contest between the two seats of learn In vaa one of the most pleasurable incidents of chess, yet it has been matter of surprise that, not j. v. i no renresentatire of either sido camp to the front.

The play of Gattie and WainwriJit. of Oxford, and 0 winner and Cambiidgebas been of a very high class. On no prerious occasions hare thorbeen such surpruos nover before did tne play orvyounger asmrants exercise so important an innuenoo on the ultimate destination of prixes. Thus, Blackburne's defeat in the early stages of the tournament in a rery line game by Pollock, and subsequently by Taubenhauss, readerod his chance of a leading prire Tcry doubtful, Taubenhauss, Zukertort, and Mackenzie appearing for seTcral rounds to nare equally good proepects. Again, tne excellent tic toiy of the yoong New York representative, Lip sohuta, orer Zukertort also had a great effect on the tournament, the victories of Pollock and Lip ftebntz damaging the score and chances of both champions up to the last few rounds.

When Tau benhsuss had the lead, followed by Mackenzie and Ma, all three met reverses when least expected. Tho prowess of Mortimer defeated both Tiuben bnuw and Mason wheh the loss of a game made a difference of a class in the prize, Pollock about the same time winning a splendid and verr sere re contact of eight hours from Mao kenrie. The defeat of Zukertort rather luckily br in fine style by Ounsberg. again damaged addition to which the Doctor' II i I. lf.1 JosC a game or an acciaent againat juacxenzie at a time when he had secured a winning position by hours of beautiful and accurate play.

Mackenzie, in turn, at a most criticalportioh of the tournament, slipped a gaao to Gmuberg, when on tbo point ot victory. Blackburne's victories in tournaments have been very numerous he has, in fact, never played without gaining a prize. At Vienna, in 1873, be was aecona to owiniu as oerun, iooi, uo gawea victory and his success in the present he again gets first prize, is only second in merit to his triumph on that oeca t. a a a uon.

Sir, For eeverai yeara part, by the kindneaa of friends interested in saflora and nahermen, the St. Andrew's Wateraide Church Mission has been able to send to New foundland and Labrador cases of Warm clothing for diatri butiea among the poor flsher folk aad their families.

which have been moat gratefully received. Jjaat year dent large caaea were sent this rear the needs are fear folly iatensifiei by the terribls disaster ia Labrador aad the complete failure of the cod fishery. I have to day received from the Rev. J. Hewitt, the EnglUh clergy man at Herring Neec, Newfoundland, a letter in which be ays KcTcr within tbo memory of the oldest living fisherman can it be remembered that the fishing was auch a failure as at the present time.

The fishing ia all the people have to depend on for a livelihood, and when that faila ther hare hot little elas to anpport them. Food and raiment are neeesaariea. bat now the men can scarcely catch a fuh to eat." They were hoping that in the fall of the year the flahermen from Labrador; wonld return with a good catch. We now know the dreadful calamity that has fallen on that coast. We have aix eases ready to aend, and should be very thankful for any warm clothing, eld or new, to lnereaae the supply, or contribution! of money, which we should send to the BUbop, who would undertake its careful diftrfbution, and which should be sent without delay to me at the office of the St.

The high position of Burn as winner of second prixe will also be hailed with great satisfaction. Ha has never played in an international chess tournament before.

For many years he has been the leading provincial plarer. and the most successful com petitor of all at county meetings. Last month he Issued a challenge to play any English player.

The winners in previous great tournaments hare been Anderssen in 1S51 Andetssen, 1862 Kolisch, 18C7 Anderssen, 1870 Steinitz, 1873 Zukertort, 1878 Blackburne, Steinitz and Winawcr, 1882 Zukertort, 1883 Winawer, 1883 Gunsberg, 185 Blackburne, 1880.

About ten years later the championship match betweon St. Amant, of Franco, and Howard Staunton, of England, took place iri Parisrand the enthusiasm of tho chess circle, as evidenced by tho articles in Th Timet and the Proas generally at this time, was tin parallolod. Tlw rivalry then existing between ilia champions of England and France had its influence on the prinoipal repressntatires of choss in other countries, especially in Germany.

Sir, The' reatoration cf Stratford onAvon chureb has excited great intereatot only among those many pilgrim a who hare at one time or another vliited the grave of William Shakespeare, but also in that far more numerous body who know and delight in our poet's plays.

Many of your readers will therefore be glad to hear that we hare this week made a beginning of the interior work by removing the galleriea, which were, erected about CO years ago and entirely spoilt tha appearance of the nave. During the past twelve months the repair of the exterior bat been going on, under the. direction of; Messrs. Bodley and Garner, and we have expended about 1,639 upon it. In.

clndugj architects' commiaaion and other Incidental charges, we expect; that this part of our work will cost nearly 2,000. But this ia only a section of tbe work which undertook when we commenced operations. The roof i of the aisles require, if not renewing, at all events very extensive repairs the Interior of the nave is to be rearranged, so as to be more like what It was in the oldea time the ancient vestry, which was unhappily pulled down about 100 yeara ago, ia to be rebuilt and other internal! lmprovementa) which our architects tare ane. getted are to be carried" out. And to do all thla we find ourselves with only 1,800 tn hand or promised When subscriptions were firat solicited every oneaald, There will be no difficulty In getting money for Shake apeare's church." It will hardly be believed that a year begging! has only produced 3,807 Its.

The committee, in face of this, have not felt justified in authorising much interior work, and we bare to be content at present with removing the galleries and temporarily rearranging the pews. Theae Utter, erected at the same time as the gal. ieriee, are both unsightly and uncomfortable, while the choir stalls in the chancel are literally rotting away. But we must leave' them as they are because we have no money. Will you allow me, then, once more to make a very earnest public appeal for help We have arranged our plans so that aubecriptioaa received from England shall be devoted to the nave work, those from America to the chancel, and those from the colonies to the tranaepta; and we are prepared to assign special parta (snoh as the rebuilding of the vestry or the; erection of a reredos) to indlri duals who sympathize in our endeavours to the extent of a few hundred pounds.

The work which at the present moment seems to us most pressing is the reseating of the nave and. for this we want, I reckon, 2,000. A similar aum would complete the transeptsnd our colonial visitors from New South Wales have set a good example by enabling me to open an account at the bank in the name of the Colonial Transept Repair Fund.

Aldenssa Msagber moved the adoption of the address, lie said their Excellencies bad been munificent in their hospitality, aad atili more they were practical la doing all they eould to develop the languishing industries of the country.

Ther had done eremhia that waa beeomine: their position, aad tbe country at lance recognised their enorta sat apart irom was tnere was a principle wnica touched the heart of the country far andawsy beyond that, and that was the fact that Lord Aberdeen represented ia this country the JGovernment of Mr. Gladstone. He was the representative of tbe Government which was the first to recognise the aspirations of this country that they should hare the power to manage their own affairs. That was a truly patriotic act on the part of the Queen's adviser, because by carrying out auch a policy he would make tali country one of the moat loyal oi Her Majesty's vast dominions. (Hear, bear.) Their thaaka were in a special manner doe to.

the great statesman who was. the nrst to make this question a Cabinet one. He was the first to give it the aid of his great intellect, and. in language which he said could not be too strong, he characterized the means adopted to carry the Union as black guard sod mean. They were trying to dissolve that Union so far as the management of their own affairs was eon eerned.

and when the management of their own affairs had been given them, thrro would be a real union between the two countries sad they would have real interest in the question of this mirbty Empire. There were none of the subjects of the Queen who would be more anxious and. more willing to maintain the intecrity el ner Empire or the vsatneaa of ber dominion than Irishmen would be when they got the managemeatof their own affairs. Mr. Dennehy seconded the motion.

Mr. Winataaley propoaed that the Lord Mayor and members of the council, with the Corporation officials, attend in State on the occasion of the departure of the Earl of Aberdeen. Mr. Peter Birne seconded the motion.

A deputation waa received from the Citizens' Committee. who desired that the Corporation should join with tha different trades and societies in the preeession on Tuesday evening. The Lord Mayor said he was just about to put the proposition that the Corporation should attend in Btate. It would be the first time that the Deoole at larre joined in sueh a demonstration sines the Act of The motion was adopted. Tne demonstration on Tuesday next wui be unique, not in its composition aad general characteristics as a popular fsgeant, but in the cardinal fact that the central gure in it will be, not the leader of the people, but the Viceroy who is suffered to bo their ruler.

Ther are called upon by public placards to assemble in' their thousands to do honour, to Lord Aberdeen, not aa the repreacntstive of the Queen and of the Imperial Union, but as the representative of Mr. Gladstone and his union with Mr. Farnell, In this reprewDtatire character he will receive all the honours which are usually bestowed noon a nonular adtator. The forces of disloTaltr and disaffection, the men who hate and hlsa the Queen, who would reseat as an outrage to their feeling the playing of what used to bo called tbe National Anthem, who renounce 'and scoff at Royalty, who treat the authority of the Crown with eontemnt men who defy the law and hold up to ridicule sad odium all who are encaged ia its admiBixtriti on these men and those who sympathies ith them will muster ia full itrenrth and flaunt the emblems of sedition in the face of the Viceroy. The ovation mav be verv flatterins to the renresentatire of Mr.

Gladstone, out it must be very embarrassing to the reprc sentatiTe of the Queen, whose position iu its dual aspect is irreconcilably anomalous. "Amid the elamour of the populace the voice of loyalty will be hushed and stifled. But not' tbe least Incongruous and. as many think. humiliating feature in the exhibition will be the part which the Queen's troops will be required to take.

The organization of the display shows that not the slightest consideration will be shown for his Excellency's feelings but while it purports to bo. in his honour, it will be in reality a political demonstration; in which the compliment to him will only be a subordinate object. The pro gramma to whieh his Excellency has to conform pro rides that Lord and Ladv Aberdeen are to wait at the Castle gates while the train of processioniita pasaeadown Cork hill. They will, it ia stated, assemble in uorkhilL Chriat Church place, and Thomas street. and, baring passed their Excellencies, will proceed along isamo eirect, uoiiere grcen, urauoa itrm, Nassau street, Clare street, 'Mernon street, Wcstlandrow, round Brnns wick street.

In addition to the trades of Dublin and tha nolitiea bodies who are to form the procession, deputations and contingenta will attend from the provinces to give a more representative character to the demonstration. All tha brakos, wagonette, and open re hides to be found ths premises of tha job coach owner are requisitioned for tha occasion, and amounted brigade of tbe Dublin carmen on their own atejeds will form a remarkable feature in the pageant. Tho departure of their Excellencies will take place on Tnealay evening, after the mail boat baa left Kingstown.

Taedr Excellencies will leave the Castle at about a quarterto 7 'c 1 proceed by the usual route to Westlsnd rd terminus. There a special train will be la waitine to obnvey the Viceregal party to Kingstown 1'trr, wtero a special steamer will be in readiness to take them to England. It is Andcrttood that it it tho intention of ths new Go vernment to revive the office of law adviser which waa abolished by the late Government. The effect of the change, which was made on economic groundii. hat not been satisfactory, but has rather involved the Executivs in trouble.

IVm. 1U. A.m. AnaeJB when the Bishop of Rome declared that the Archj bishop of Canterbury was the chief bishop of a second world. But little, indeed, did Aasclm, or he who uttered those words haagiie that within another thousand yean the offer orW would be the glorious region that it was in the minda of all thinking men now.

It must move the hearts cf all who venerated that ancient shrine of riii! na tion, of learniag. aad of piety, to see so bust turning to it as the first home of all those great powers in jEngiahd. for be believed indeed that they eame as Canterbury pilgrims thinkiuz not only of the benefits whieh thev ncr eonally would derive, but also of the great influence wpich their visit on gbt to have for the benefit of the Church and nation. They knew how ia ancient time PUto spoke of the Greeks being always young and of tbeir going bke young children to Egypt. In what a wonderful way that old parable Infilled with us.

Egypt had in those days become a venerated centre or too and tbe Greeks turned affectionately towards it. Now, wben other nations appeared to be coming to the last dars of tbeir civilisation, when they were split aad torn and 'cut asun der, and were turning from principles which made them treat now it was that we found England greater than ever, more full of promise than ever, and this time did her sona select to revisit tne old weenes. Tbe reeks also bad a magnificent custom of sendins out all their colonics com plete with one ct their foremost citizens at its head. The pledge and warrant of his' right to found a colony were that he carried with him a particle of the sacred fire, aad his business it was to see that it nerer went out: until kindled on the new shore. He knew, not whether it was possible to realise the great scale' on which that ancient systematic practice, if now observed, would have to be carried on, but there'were approaches to It, and it might well bo said that wberever the colonists had gone they had founded themselves without ever allowing the sacred fire to bo extinguished.

YChocrO In conclusion, the Arch bishop said he would advise, those preeent, when they returned to those great lands which were theirs and ours to gether (cheers), to follow the example of England and esiaoiua great centres, in an una of institutions it was far better for a pertain few placea to get to white heat than to have a few scattered red sparks. That was the lesson which they eould not but carry home from all the great centres whieh they had visited ia England. Let them get in the colonies their great universities, and, not least, their great cathedrals with their attendant organizations, and let them also take the greatest care that their clergy were learned. Had it not been for the clergy of England being both sealous aad learned, she would not have been what she is, and the advantage cf a religious education' for the people could not be overrated.
