DRAUGHT ITEMS.
None of our correspondents have tackled the problem pahli-hed last week Will the author send his solution ? The Chri«tchurcl> Central I ranghts Hub, rece tly formed, has adopted rules and entered actively upon its work. » The annual subscription is half a-ci own.' The Club has decided to hold a handicap draugh s tournament at an early date for suitable p izen, and Messrs Reese, Menzies, and Kay were elected bandicappers for the same. The Melbourne " Leader," .noticing the play during the Centennial Draughts Conpress, says : '*A remarkable feature of the play was that the New Zealanders, at their second and third meetings. ian through their games at, the rate of about 8 minutes each. Now this, to say the least, gives little evidence of study, and will probably beat all past records of time taken in championship match play. Such speed •only leads to the conclusion that neither of those gentlemen intended to knock the other out if it could possibly be avoided."
