A Clever Chess Player.
At the Cafe de la Regence, in the Palais Royal quarter, the headquarters of the Paris chess players, the other night, M. Janovsky, a rising young Russian player, gave an exhibition of simultaneous play. There were to have been thirty p*gyers, but only 21 had put in ap prance. M. Janovsky walked rapidly from board to board, rarely taking more than three or four seconds to consider his move. By 3 little after eleven many of the players weie already in difficulties, but sonio of the best contested games did not finish till a late hour. M. Janovsky was, of course, successful in almost every instance. One of his opponents, a boy about fourteen, made a resolute defence.
