Mestrs Lchtenhen and Morphy have already fought
two out Of their three battles and 10 both Of II em the
latter was successful. Mr.. Morphy is prodigy Of
chess skill and gsrus for not merely has be not o.
single game 10 the Tournament bu., in addition, he
has beaten everybody soundy who has tried his skill
with him 10 an of-haId game. The most eminent
amateurs from all parts of the country have been
checkmaed game after game, and declare "they don't
" know how he does it." There, too, are gentlemen
who have won games from the great players of Ku.
rope. ard who declare that the Ssuntons Anderssens
and L0wenthals Ct the Old World will have to lover
their fsgs TO this Young Phlidor" of America.
Since Mr. Morphys arrival, three weeks ago, he has
probably played nearly 100 games, two only of which
he lost. No other player in any country can show
such per centage Of successes and yet be is but 20
years Of age. With such amateur over the board,
and so wonderful bindfold player as Louis Paulson,
we can well afford TO challenge Europe on Caissas
fields, and beat her with chess combinations if we
haven't done it yet with horses.
The blindfold play Of the past week attracted large
number Of strangers to Descombes Rooms, among
them several officers of the U. s. Army and Navy.
We also remarked that the clergy paid occasional
visits, noting at the time the Rev. DR.. Vin.on, DIR.
Cressy Of Auburn the Rev. Mr.. Ray of Brooklyn and
others.
The Tournaments will continue at Descombes
Rooms during this week. The saloon is everything
that can be desired for such purpose.
