CHECkER JOTTINGS.

Newport, KY, was visited by great
player from the Metropolis, but he was not
In 1t in old Kentucky, even though he was
the venerable great-grandfather of 13 little
girls. The club must have made a special
study of the Ayrshire Lassie and the Maid
OF the Mill openings, to use up gentleman
so well up in lassies. If the kentuckians
will add the Switcher openings to their
studies the veteran Wyllie will better steer
clear of Newport and their clever players.
DR.. keeney-As Newport has knocked out
New York; a challenge to Pittsburg would
be in order. They feel a little proud since
the Fourth, after their great victory over
western and Central Pennsylvania.
MIR. Wyllie up to July played in London
80 games, lost 2, won 81, drawn l5. Mr. A. H
Granger won an Ayrshire Lassie with the
blacks, and drew q Paisley with the whites.
This is the best score so far. Messrs. Tes-
cheleit, Birkenshaw, Moriarity, Butler, NC
Lay, Patton, Bailey, and others have not had
a sitting yet with the veteran. Mr.. Wyllie
has announced that when playing the lead
ing players he desires them to choose an
opening, and he will do the same, and both
to play the black and white Of each game.
Mr.. Freeman was the first to play on this
system, and chose the Laird and Lady"
Wyllie chose the "Switcher" Score: Wyllie
l; draws. Mr.. Freeman started another
four games on Saturday, and chose the
so."-HerdLd
Referring to summary of his matches
which appeared in the Chronicle Telegraph,
Mr.. Wyllie says that he has not lost a match
for a stake since 1885, and that in the matches
with the late DIR. Yates there was not cent
at issue, and, as THE DISPATCH pointed out,
when the summary appeared, that the two
matches with Reed had been left out, and it
seems that another important match had
been overlooked, that of A. j. Heffner, of 10
games-Wyllie, 4: Heffner, o; drawn, 6.
EX-Champion Barker has posted 500 in
the hands of A. j. Dunlap for his match
with j. p. Reed for the American champion
ship, which is to be played in Chicago in
September.
James Willie speaks of spending a few
months in London. At that rate it will take
him some time to get around, and it is more
evidence of the falseness of the charges OF
lliteracy and meanness.

keep the vessel out of the canal. Here is
case in which the question OF utility OF a
canal turns directly upon the quality of the
canal in the matter of affording depth and
cross-sectional area necessary to a certain
high rate OF speed in the vessels using IT,
Five miles per hour is very high rate or
progress IN ship canal. On the suez, I IN
averaged better time than the day passages;
The average night passage was made in ~
hours and 9minutes-average, ~ miles per
hour.
In view of all the circumstances affecting
the case depth of 20 feet of water with
correspondlngly large cross sectional area),
Is necessity" for this Michigan" canal
The Canal VIII Be Large Enough.
The fact is obvious that in a canal afford
ing 20 feet of water, with a waterway having
cross sectional area of 200 square feet (the
proposed Niagara" section is 2,56213 feet IN
earth cuttings and 1850 in rock cuttings),
vessel drawing IA feet with ordinary beam
for such draft) may be propelled, or towed'
as the case may be, at speed materially
higher than the highest possible in a canal
aHordlng no more than 10 feet OF water,
feet (the depth and area proposes
for the "Lake Erie and ONO @
River CanaD: but in case the
vessel drawing Il feet is big enough for an
entirely satisfactory accomplishment OF the
ends for which the canal is built and those
had in view in running the vessel and IN
case the canal with 10 feet of water ana area
as aforesaid forms not a passage way De-
tween two bodies of deep water (Which Two
bodies of deep water are parts OF the trans
portatton route for Improvement OF "nicn
the canal is made), but a terminal portion
of transportation route: and If the deptn
and width of the 15-foot canal are sufficient
for passage of vessels drawing IL feet at
a speed sufficient to enable such vessels
to make in the Lake and canal a
much more profitable seasons work
than they can in lake nav1ga-
tion alone (which condition insures ade-
quate supply of vessels for the canal traff1c);
and if the conditions at the inland end or
the canal are such as to make the cost OF
providing more than Is feet of water eek
cessive," in view of the advantages possibly
to be thereby secured then the 15-foot canal
is the proper thing for the service in view;
and any money expended in making
"bigger' canal is, practically, wasted.
go into this matter at some length be-
cause am now and again advised (by per-
sons friendly to the Lake Erie and Ohio
River Canal" project, as well as by those
who affect to believe the project entirely
visionary that our 15-foot canal will be "too
small" and desire to indicate the fact that
a depth of more than 10 feet for this canal
is not necessary. The lake marine suited to
navigation of the canal in question, with
depth proposed, is ample for handling
the traffic, for facilitation of which the
canal is to be provided. On this point and,
generally, everything about the canal pro-
ject see the report of the commission.
Yours very truly,
J. M. GOODWIN.

Their Credentials.

As has been said, DR.. W. Copeland was
president of his class at Bellevue Hospital
Medical College, New York, where he gradu-
ated, the most famous institution of its kind
in the country. His diploma bears the writ
ten Endorsement of the medical authorities
of New York, of the deans of prominent med
ical colleges in Pennsylvania. DR.. Halls
credentials are no less abundant and unqual-
flied. He also is formally indorsed by
the secretaries of various county and
after thorough hospital experience and
practice, have devoted their lives to the
practice of their specialties, with what sue
cess the columns of the daily papers show.
In addition to the high medical authorities
quoted above, may be mentiOneda Pittsburg
medical authority, which is by no means to
be deprecated. The diplomas of both gen.
tlemen bear the formal written endorsements
of the Western Pennsylvania Medical Col
lege of Pittsburg

FIVE DOLLARS A MONTH.

The summer is the best time for the treat
ment and cure of catarrhal troubles. The
climatic conditions are then most favorable,
liability of catching fresh cold being then
reduced to the minimum, and the even tenn
perature and the condition of the atmos-
phere fayoring the progress of the patient.
Drs. Copeland & Hall have decided to treat
all patients, old and new, applying to them
for treatment during July and August at
the merely nominal rate of S. month, fur
nishing all medicines. This applies to pa
tients by mail as we'll as patients in the
city. 1t is to all patients, old as we'll as
new, and for all diseases. All patients tax
ing treatment from Drs. Copeland & Hall
during July and August will be treated
until cured at the, rate of S. month.

CRITICISM.
To the Checker Editor of The Dispatch:


Regarding criticism on "cross'' game 113
will say that it occurred in play and was not
intended for analysis, but was given on ac-
count Of the somewhat neat ending. l had
whites, and for variety's sake, played the
1922 '1oser," though it is evident that 25-22
draws nicely.
Perhaps Mr.. Jenkins play may be i'm
proved somewhat. Take his variation l..
The position after tenth move is-(b) 8, 6. 9,
II, 10, % (x)-22: (w)-l2 13 IL Is. 2l, %, 30.
Now, instead of IVA, which allows a ccnven-
lent win, why not 1915, Ills then 17-14, 22-l7,
14-5, 17-l4 81. 1910, I5 and whites gain move
which prevents the easy black win given
by Mr.. j.
However, I would suggest the following
way to win: Variation l. at second move in
stead of 31-26, play "3l27 $685. 27-24 1922, *S1l
1873 4-15. Black wins.
At the ninth move of trunk that Mr..
Jenkins gives try *3l-27 instead of 3l-26, and
the win is materially shortened think.
Call again, Mr.. Jenkins; glad to see you
any time. L. S. HEAD.

he Christ Church Free Press.

Il
The Turf of the Gath of April brought the
news that the draughts editor OF that jour
nal had awarded the above demand. but on
what grounds he could do so we are utterly
at Il loss to know, as we can find nothing
whatever In the articles of agreement as
published in the Turf of August ~, 1880. to
Justify him in doing so. In sending these
articles to the ItuJ Mr.. Hefter stated: I'm
closed please find articles for the Wylle-
Reed match. The exact date OF the COM
mencement of the match must be LETT open
until Mr.. Wyllie arrives" And the only
article bearing Oh this point Is the follow
ing-"6th. That the match must commence
within 80 days after Mr.. Wyllie's arrival in
America" and not word can we find as to
the date on which he is to arrive in Amer
lea.
Unless there is some agreement more def
mite than what We have seen published in
the Turf, We must say that the demand for
forfeit and title, coupled with the reasons
for doing so seem to careful readers in this
part of the world very much like an un-
scrupulous attempt to defraud Mr.. Wyllie,
and also that the appended remarks to both
MI. Hefter's demand and Mr. Wylle's letter
are either unwittlngly or wilfully garbled,
and moreover that the letter OF June 30 seems
to have nothing to do with the final articles
OF agreement, as it is not even mentioned in
these articles, and therefore cannot be bind

TIME OF TRANSIT.
HOURS.

The Is miles of canal in which have al
lowed progress of three miles per hour rep
resents the ship canal between Georgian
Bay and Lake Slmcoe. The lockage on this
canal will amount to about 100 feet.
Progress in the "Michigan'' canal is fig
ured at five miles per hour. This canal must
have size depth and cross-sectional area)
sufficient to admit the making of this rate
of progress by vessels drawing as much rs
Ii feet of water. Making five miles per
hour (of elapsed time) through the canal
steamer, averaging IA miles per hour in the
lake, may make the trip between Chicago
and Buffalo by way of the canal in about
| two hours shorter time than by way of the
straits. Even this, at first view, apparently
to giving the steamer an extra round
trip in season. But the saving of time is
not the only saving, as we shall presently
see. The average sailing vessel taking tow
in canal will make progress in canal better
than her average progress (under sail and
tow, taken togetberl i'll the lakes and con-
Meeting rivers. Such vessel will, in a trip
from Chicago to Bu11alo, save about 81 days
by taking the canal
Steamers Will Save Wear and Tear
The steamer will save not only her two
hours, but great swear and tear and much
fuel. Steaming at rate of IA miles per hour
the average '1iner'' expends per mile run
fuel costing about 20 cents. At this rate
fuel for the trip of SS9 miles, Chicago to Buff
falo, costs Sl7I So
Taking the canal she steams ls5 miles, at
about five miles per hour, at which rate her
fuel will not cost more than 5cents per mile;
say it costs 50 25 for the lS5 miles. Fuel for
through trip (via canal) costs then (344 miles
@20c and 1856 miles @5c.), SIS 05. Here is a
saving of 500 rs; or. say, 500 for a round trip
Even were her fuel to cost per mile of canal
as much as per lake mile her savingwould
be SI44 for the round trip. Saving 500 per
round trip, and making as many as 25 round
trims per season, the canal will save her i'm
fuel, say 5000 for the Season. Carrying, say
