said that Mr.. Morphy has found match in the
person of a splendidly dressed lady. A CORES
pondent of the Philadelphi Mercury relates
that splendidly- dressed lady recently drove TO
the st. Nicholas Hotel and requested an inter-
view with the chess champion, which was
granted, when the privilege of playing game
with Mr.. Morphy was demanded, and, inAu-
enced by her " magnificent eyes," Paul said
" Yes " at once. The lady proved to be for
midable antagonist, and the game lasted two
hours and was dram. The lady was then sat
isfed, and blushingly took her leave, Morphy
CALAMITY handing her to her carriage. The
name upon the lady's card could not be found
in the directory, and Morphy and his friends are
completely in the dark as to who she was. But

game in which Morphy was ever contestant.
