DRAUGHTS ITEMS.
A meeting of draught players was held in Robson’s Rooms last Saturday evening in order to make final arrangments for the forthcoming match for the silver trophy and the championship in Auckland. The match commences this evening in the above rooms, and will continue Tuesdays and Saturdays until the conclusion of the match. Messrs Healy, Wilson, and Lochhart have been chosen as supervisors. Mr I. Woolf, hon. secretary of the Christchurch Draughts Club, spent a few days in Dunedin last week and visited the clubroom on Saturday night. He was intro duced to one or two members, and after looking round the room fora few minutes he turned to a club member—a stranger to him—and asked, “Is Mr Brodie in the room ? Which is he?” The clubman looked Mr Woolf in the face, assumed a most benevolent smile, and slowly extending five digits said, “ Put it there.” They shook, laughed, sat down, and played six games. Result: Brodie, 5 ; Woolf, 1. The visitor, however, had a good record with other players, securing three wins in succession from the veteran Mr Shaw.
