THE INTERNATIONAL CHESS CONGRESS.

The maritime which had been settled for this
week's sittings, and which wee set aside yesterday foragraud
chess match to be played between London and Paris by
mean, of the telegraph, Lad unfortunately to be altered in
consequence of some delay which arose unexpectedly in
Paris, at nearly the last moment, and this match was poet.
posed until to-morrow. The commi tee of the International
Congress had, therefore, yesterday, to provide some enter-
tainment of a sufficiently excellent character to serve as a
substitute for the match by telegraph, and, we angled to
ray, they were highly successful. But before we proceed to
detail their proceedings it will be advisable that we should
furnish our reader with par • u/ara of the noel result of the
game played on Wed ey bliadfolded by Paulsen against
tee different persons simultaneously. We were enabled, in
our last report, to show that he had become victorious in the
majority of instant:ea. At the conclusion of the match,
which did not take pines until half-past 12, after ten hours'
play, Herr Paulsen had actually won six games out of the tee,
lost three, and bad one drawn. The mental exertion neear
sary to perform all this, continued unintennittently as it was
during several hours, it is scarcely possible for any but •
skilled chess-player fully to appreciate. The feat, however,
was at length accomplished, and Herr Paulsen received the
warmest congratulations from hie compeers, returning once
again from solitary mental imprisonment to the amenities of
social life.

Yesterday there were two consultation matches formed in
lieu of the telegram matches, and in each cam the prize was
W.

The chief attraction to-day is the performance of Mr-
Blackburn°, who undertakes a similar task to that of Herr
Paulsen en Wednesday, namely, playing blindfolded against
ten players at ones. Mr. Black hume comes from Manches-
ter where he has played in a similar match with some sue-
-081111.

At the rising of the congress last evening the score in the
grand tournament stood as follows :—Audersseu won 10

there are six prises. The first, of mi., r will be roes
above, will be probably taken by Harr Andirons. For the
second prise of 50/. there is a vigorous competition that is
watched with great interest.
In the klasdteap Tournament the first round has been
completed with the szeeptioa of the match between Lord
Cremorne and Mr. Deacon, who have to play a conquering
game, each being the winner of one game at the present
time. The following gentlemen having each lost two games
are so longer in the tournament : Lord Lyttelton, Messrs.
Medley, Blackburoe, Schroder, Hestiroote, Pearson, Stocldl,
Chinnery, Puller, Salter, and Young.
The game in the Grand Tournament that yesterday
attracted most attention was that between the Rev. Mr.
Owen and Mr. Moogredien. They bad already played
two games which bad both resulted in a draw, and
the game of yesterday was therefore regarded with great
interest. Mr. Owen bad the first move, but Mr.
dien adopted a close opening, and the game in itst=
stages was oosesqueatly cr a not very exciting character.
Aa it proceeded the interest increased, and for along pe-
riod the chasms were quite evenly balanced. Mr. Owen
at length succeeded in turning the flank of his opponent,
and afters short but brWiant skirmish succeeded in gain•
the viotory. The pew lasted from fear o'clock until
hell-lit are, sad intended over we than 80 moven
