os hs ,hs Boston Journal writing from Chicago, says
fn,thAt city by Mr.. Paulsen. ns fpilows
Tne most stuPendous achievement in chess the
world ever saw has just been successfully per
formed in this city, and Louis PsuIsen now stands
peerless. On Monday evening he commeuced
playing biiudfolded ten Simultaneous games
against Chicago. His opponents were carefully
selected from among the most skillful players q
the Chess Club, who used every exertion to check
mate their gallant antagonist
mf. feuiseu sat apart from every one on the
stage OF Light Guard Hall, with his back to the
zen ossrds Two gentlemen of this city acted as
teiers aud circulated among the piayers calling
aloud each move on the different tables, which
were designated by their respective numbers from
one 70 Ten; Mf. Pausen wonld reflect lew mo-
ments, ana then without apparent effort announce
his own move in return. His attitude aud bear
ing were like those of person In a trance His
head thrown slightly forward, his eyes closed his
ngure motiooess, aud nothing to indicate life save
an occasional working of the face when skllful
step was taken by au adversary or sudden coup
de oaffdiHe contemplated by himself The progress
was slow, OF course slow. At the close of the rst
evening, however, enough of his surprising ability
was displayed to make even the most expe rienced
OF his opponents feel nervous, and induce them to
use every tactic to out maneuver him. During the
| second evening his advantage over several was
clearly to be seen. The spectators became much
| e4cted, Dut the sympathiea of those who had no
irienas piayipg were plainly given to that single
silent man, thus pitted against host of foes.

| prscae position of each place upon every board

cerning some disarrangement which he de tscted
| HE assertions had in all cases proved correct ,
while those who had their eyes open we're forced
TO acknowledge their error. 1t was evident that
his astonishing memory and concentrate enabled
MN TO recall at will each move from the frst
upon either board, and thus bring il ss clearly TO
his minds eye as ifi were bodily before him, The
third ever lug was expected to finish this uunrece-

| worked up, except he upon whom all interest cen.
| lered. The self command exercised appeared
| mlraeu ous, and none would have suspectei what
40 intense, powerful stretch must have been unon
that singular brain. Calmly he sat, as II casting
some problem in simple interest, rather than per-
forming q labor of herculean magnitude.
throughout he was subjected to one uufairpess

glory Not only did he play against ten opponents

Pauisen's brilliant attacks had discomftted He

eoure clty opposing him. Every player, too, ex
pected him TO make the assault while their chief
| effort was to fortify position so as to be imprev
