CHESS.

To the Editor. Permit me to explain % very small matter which has both “amused and puzzled ” toe writer of the letter signed “ A Member of the J). G. CKb,” whieh appears in your Tuefl- « j B j.I SBUe V w pi obably surprise him to hnd that the telegram from Lawrence, published in Saturday’s Stab, was entirely unauthorised by our representative players, and surprised them quite as much as ft did him, I he Lawrence players do not intend to r linquish the contest At the close of the last nights pKy i,h'.y expressed a wish to postpone tlic next game for ndvrt, tune, and tha.t pro'bably accounts ur th.i oriyiu of the telegram. If A Member oi the 1), O. Club’’ had m.nde inquiries at head quarters, he would hav’e found that the Lawrence (.layers were arrnng'* mbnt.M with their opponents for the next party, and consequently would hot have displayed his . P ,,or judgment” by milling unnecessarily into punt. 1 he which this apparently uneven contest has excited in chess circles, is my best apology for tresspa sing so far on your spade. —I am, &c., ■Robert Cross,. President of Lawrence Chess Club. Lawrence, December 1.
