THE reception rendered Commanderin-
chief Vandervoort and party by Ellsworth
Post, G. A. r., of this city, on Friday
evening of last week was grand affair.
The party arrived here on the steamer Dis
patch about 5 o'clock, whereupon they were
escorted to the Public park, where prelmi-
nary arrangements had been made for the
occasion. They were greeted in the park
by large and enthusiastic assembly, the
2lst Infantry band also being present, which
added largely to making it a neat affair.
Commander Vandervoort being introduced
to the audience delivered a very eloquent
address, which was followed by short
speeches by others of the party. Gen. II.
A. Morrow, 2lst Infantry, made some very
appropriate and interesting remarks, con-
Guiding his speech by the reading of poem
written for the occasion by Capt. II. H.
Pierce, entitled "What is the Grand Army
of the Republics" The reception concluded
with an overture by the band, when the
assembly dispersed, feeling that they had
witnessed an enjoyable affair The honored
party departed for Portland the same even
ing, Ell route to San Francisco.
CAPT II. H. P1ERCEs POEM.
What is that Army? IT'S blaze
OF glory shed by other days
When signals cleaned from every height
To lead the mastering hosts Alright,
And patriots marshaled side by side
To breast fierce Rebellion's tide!
No selfish clan of Church or State,
Nor bond of death, nor league of hate
A band of Brothers left to shed
Their tears above the loyal dead;
A forest that has quelled the blasts
An ocean when the storm is past;
A tender heart, a helping hand,
love that spreads from strand to strand
What is that Army? Not the sight
OF waving plumes or helmets bright,
Nor serried ranks, nor mail clad host,
No grand array that tyrants boast
An army leal in word or deed;
A bulwark i'll OUR CorNTRYs need;
A veteran army, tried and true;
An army that has ,corB the Blue!
Long may that ARMY live to bear
The UNIONS EMBLEM high in air;
And longer yet its deeds inspire
Our freedom sous with patriot fire!

Blindfold Against Twelve.
Now York Thnes.l

DR.. zukertort, the German champion
chess-player, performed the difficult feat
of playing simultaneously twelve games.
"biindfold, last evening at the rooms Of
the Manhattan Chess Club, No. l04 East
Fourteenth street. Twelve tables, with a
chess-board on each, were arranged along
the sides OF the front parlor. with play
er behind each table. DR.. Zukertort was
seated at table In the rear parlor.
The folding doors between the two
rooms were open, but the champion
had h back turned toward the PLAYERS
and could not possibly see the chessmen.
The following were the gentlemen
against whom he pIayei: Prof. Rice,
Simonson', Isaacson, Osborne, Meli N,
J.. w. Baird. Spligle, Hyde, Pinkbam.
Schietielln, Paruell and Fisher. One of
the members Of the club walked up and
down alongside Of the tables, announced
the move OF each player in loud voice,
and moved the pieces for DR.. Zukertort
as ordered by the latter. The first few
moves were made rapidly, but as the
games advanced and the positions be-
came more complicated, he took more
time to deliberate, at the same time
bringing out his pawns admirably and
supporting everyone that was open to
attack.
DIR. Zukertort's remarkable memory
formed the theme Of conversation among
many Of the members, for he not only
knew the exact position of the men on
each board, but remembered every move
that had been made since the opening of
the games. On one occasion he ordered,
"Pawn takes pawn" (which pawnf'
asked the caller, and the reply immedi.
ately came. "Only one of my pawns can
take; only one pawn, take it," The
spectators smiled and cheered. Later on
in the game, when Hyde's number
was called and his move was
announced, DR.. Zukertort ordered
bis move. ''It cannot be DONE"
the caller said. The champion deliber-
ated for few seconds, and then asked
for the number Ct the player. He was
told that it was No. Q, and be remarked,
''You are right, there is a knight there;
/ thought | was playing No. IL. where,
II ! had made that move, I should have
opened splendid attack. But to show
you that | know the positions on No.
9. I'll tell you where every man stands. 4"
He proceeded to do so, and was correct.
The spectators then looked at board No.
II, and found that DR.. Zukertort was
also correct in saying that that move
wo uld have opened powerful attack.
