In close attendance a.re: Messrs Purcha-s, 9—l;9 —1; Hicks, 9—2; Welton, BJ—3J; Harper, 6—3; and Loney. s\—3i. A fixture that is creating, considerable interest is the match between the Hutt and South Wellington Chess Clubs, which is set down for decision at the' Hutt. - Both- c!ubs will, it is understood, bo well represented, ; and* there seems everjtt prospect of a close finish.
