Wonderful as are the feats Of chess
players, who can play game or series
Of games without seeing the board, there is
nothing really remarkable in them.
When once mastered, the trick Is not
only fairly easy of performance but the
fact that the process is purely mental
rather facilitates than impedes the ac-
ton Of the mind.
To the "blind-f folded" chessplayer
there is present mental picture of the
board with the pieces in position. He
can change the position Of the men as
easily as he can think, and after he has
once mastered the difficulty of fixing the
mental picture, it Is distinctly before
him. S0me players, who do not in their
common process of memory use picture
phantoms, work out the moves as alge-
braicaI propositions are occasionally
worked, by phantoms Of sound; but, as 9
fule, chezplayers are mental-picture-
readers, and can at pleasure call up any
one of several pictures of boards as they
last conceived them.
The most difficult feat, and one which
very few mental chesSplayers can ae-
eomplish, is to play two or three games
simultaneously, the moves made by their
opponents being told them in close Sc
quence and their own moves being di-
rected after all the reports of the pro-
eeedings of their opponents have been
received.
Thus, If there be several players
against the one mental player, he must
be told and remember what each of his
adyersaries has done before he begins to
give the instructions for his several
counter-moyes In this exploit the most
perfect development of the mental
faculty of distinct picturing and the dis
placement and recall of mental pictures
at will is exhibited. The prodigfous dif-
fculty Of the feat can only be realized
in the attempt to perform it. Even the
expert blindfolded chess player can rare
ly succeed in accomplishing the per
tormanee we have attempted to describe.

alleged deficit in my cash account as

resenting such deficit is not in my hands,
and never has been, although have been
charged with having the same, and had
my property attached by suit which
the Rutland road has brought against
me. | am not the only party who has
handled the money of the company. |
therefore hope that the stockholders will
take some action upon this matter and
have an investigation made by an Impair

and who will ascertain and report where
the money has gone to and to whom it
ought to be charged. ! have repeated
