CHESS MATCH.

A very interesting contest took place on Tuesday evening last between the Hamilton and Ngaruawahia Chess Clubs. The match was p'ayed by telegraph, six a side, and commenced at 7.15 pm. At midnight, when the men were boxed, the result was as follows : Hamilton. Ngaruawahia. McCrea ... * Stewart ... * Stevens .., 1 Wells 0 Going * Burr Home * Davics * Lye .. ... 1 Rathborne ... 0 Edsecumbe ... 1 Mallindine ... 0 * These games were not finished, and have been referred for adjudication ; but from appearances are likely to result in drawn games, in which case the match would result in a win for Hamilton by 4£ to H. No hitch whatever occurred throughout the evening, and thanks to the eaivfill operating of Mr McKeown at Ngaruawahia, and Messrs Roche and MeComish, Hamilton, not a single telegraphic error was recorded.
