chess etiquette, now consent to accept odds, and also
the fact that Dir. MoIphy sometime since publicly d..
clared declaration which, TIE ackno wledged cham
pion both Of Europe and America, lie had perfect
right to make, that he would play matches
until he had first been beaten at odds. Mr. Morphy
was probably influenced also in measure by the pain
