A HSra A1r Ghess. 81
To The Editor o the Aanitosrec fiot:
DEAR Sir: You have heretofore,
through your columns, advised'your resa
ers of the existence of a chess club in the
city Of Nanitowoc, and have warmly en-
Outraged its support, AM, having tius
manifested yonr interest in the prosperity
Of the afore named club / gra.uitousiy
assume tina. YOU will kindly give place to
4 few words ia favor Of the ancient, noble,
AMI clIiyairoas game of Chess.
The antiquity of The game is singular
and pre- enineo; over all the games in the
world, for its origin, as franklin has it,
=" is beyond the memory of history" and
its cosmopolitan universally is one of its
Distinguishing features, being practiced by
all the civilized nations Of Asia, the Per
SLAMS, the Indians, and the Chinese.
Europe has had it above eleven hundred
years; the Spaniards have spread it over
their part of America, and is has rapidly
spread over the United States since the
days of Franklin. Sornaci for the anti
qulty AMI univ n salty of the game; and
now worl as to its character. This game
is not merely an idle amusement, it is
purely aud deeply, and solely an inteliec-
tsfh st,ri-, arnising in degree, but at the
same time in t-actins and discipiinins all
the higher facilities of the mind, in fact there
is scarcely faculty Of the mind but what
il brought into most earnest and cxhila-
rating activity, strengthening and develop
it has been claimed by no small number OF
thinking men that, as means Of devel-
oring the mental powers of man, it stands
without an equal, and hence We find the
game has received the encouragement and
commentator Of many of the most Illus
trious men in history in all ranks of life,
such as the philosophic and sasacioas
Franklin, and brilliant and gifted John
Van Buren, in our own country, and Napo-
leon the Great, Prof. Andersen, Stanton
and Stanley, and others in Europe. Be
sides the reasons above given the moral
cifaracter Of the game speak. highly in its
favor. There are no professional Chess
players that make money the stake of their
game, and excessive wine drinking, dobauch-
cry or passion of any kind cannot possibly
connect themselves with this king of all
games, for without the cool, clear head
and steady purpose, defeat Is inevitable;
tire game being strictly game Of skill and
not IN the remotest degree game of
chance.
And now, in conclusion, Mr.. Editor,
permit ME to ask, would it not be worth
the while Of those in our community who
find fault with the expense and demorali-
gation attending the billiard hall, the card
table and the bowling alley to foster and
encourage the spread of this intellectual
MORAL and economical game Of chess. l,
seems to me that there is much need Of
some little EFFORT being male to furnish
the young men of oar city with some limo
cent, instructive AMI healthy amusement
other than they now seek AMI obtain, il
order that we may be saved the pain o.
seeing, as we walk aloa5 the streets of oui
city, the staggering gait Of no small mum
Der Of the yoGt!is among US.
Very truly yoars, PAWN.

leCted heretofore to call attention to the
handsome drawings in one OF tho show
windows Of Harding's music store, of the
Opera House proposed to be erected BY
Mr. James Hamilton on his lot near the
corner Of Quincy and Market The front
elevation on the last named street makes
a splendid appearance, and that on Quin.
cy, while not so ornate, is in good taste.
The various plaus Of the interior, giving
longitudinal and sectional views, give a
good idea OF the general arrangement and
style of flash to be carried out. There is
no question that il the architects ideas are
executed in detail as he has delineated
them on paper, tho building will be a
credit to the proprietor and an ornament
to the city. There is also no question that
such n public hall is needed here, and we
trust that our citizens will encourage the
enterprise Of Mr.. Hamilton not only In
word but in deed. Mr.. KcmblC, the ar,
chitect, in the drawings referred To-, has
furnished another proof that he is a mas
ter in his profession. He Is located in our
city, and may be found ut his Office il
