CHESS MATCH BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.
The consultation game by Lord Lyttelton, Capt.
H. A. Kennedy, and Mr. J. Lowenthal, at the Bristol
Atherueum, oo the nee part, and Mr. A. Mongredieu sod
two leading members of the London Chess Club, on the
other, which was appointed to take place last evening at
Ries's Divan, in the Strand, WOO off as announced, but
with a modification of the arrangements, canted by the
illness of Lord Lyttelton, whose place at Bristol
was supplied by Sir John Blondes. The wires of
the Electric Telegraph Company were placed in requisition
for this and for six other games, which were carried on
simultaneously. The Bristol players in the alone-handed
matches were Mesas. Medley, Fodder, Kling, Horwitz,
Pullen, and Weight. On the part of London the Rev. G. A.
Maotionnell, Captain J. Cunningham, Mr. Bunion, Mr.
Healey, Mr. G. H. Mackenzie, and Mr. Warmald, entered
the lists. The umpire at Ries's Divan was Mr. Selfe, the
police-magistrate ; while the corresponding post at Bristol
was filled by Mr. S. S. Baden. In the consultation
game the time was limited, each side being allowed
two hours for 24 moves. In the single-handed matches no
limit of time was laid down, but every player was requested
to make all his moves ea promptly as possible. Of course
all the fixed rules of the game were observed, as if the con-
tests hail been carried on over the board in the ordinary
manner. The play was to have opened generally at seven
o'clock ; but the telegraph did not get fairly into action
until half-past, when the first move in the consults.
boo game was flashed from London to Bristol. It 110041
became apparent that the game between Messrs. Burdou
and Kling would be exceedingly interesting. The rapid
development of each gems, too, was most gratifying, two
moves • minute being the average rate at which the
telegraph worked. The characteristics of each game can
only be briefly indicated here. At the opening Mr. Burke
offered the gambit, which his opponent declined ; Mr.
Warmald opened against Mr. Weight, with a " Ruy Lopes
Knight's game." In the match between Messrs. Cunning-
ham and Fodder, Bristol began in the usual way, and was
met by the Sicilian defenoe. The game between Messrs.
Healey and Horwitz opened Irregularly, and that between
Messrs. Maodonnell and Medley was a Scotch gambit.
Messrs. Mackenzie and Pulleo's game opened with the
centre gambit'; and the consultation match was distinguished
by the Petroff defence, in reply to London's opening with
the King's Knight's attack. Up to a very late hour but one
result was attained, Mr. Mackenzie having checkmated
Mr. Pulls,. Thu consultation match seemed farthest of all
from a conclusion. The majority of the games were going
strongly in favour of London. Mr. Cunningham also won
on behalf of London. The other single-handed games were
drawn. The consultation game.; was drawn, on • propo.
Aloe from London.
