CHECKER ITEMS OF INTEREST.
Mr. F. Dunno, of the Leeds MercurA dis
poses of the great bombShell of the checker
editor of the Chronicle Telegraph on the
worlds championship as held by Wyllie in
temporary ought to be aware that Wyllie
has always denied that he had any money
on in the match with Yates, which he has
looked upon, both aG the time it was PLAYED
and since, as mere exhibition contest The
purse was found by the late A. j. Dunlap"
J. p. Reed, ex-champion of America, has
been engaged by the Y. NJ. c. A. of Washing
ton, Pa, 20 give blindfold exhibitions Tor
Wedn esday. Thursday and Friday of this
week. We will be able to give full particu-
lars IeSt week.
James Wyllie's record as quick player is
~ games of checkers in one hour, and the
average game is about 80 moves, making
about 2 a0J moves to the hour. How is that
for quick moving?
Charles T. Barkers visit to Providence
was very interesting affair. His play was
of the championship order, across the board
Out OF IA games played lie allowed but one
draw to MI. Parn3enteF, and won So. In
the evening lie played 10 simultaneously
but in this he allowed l win to Mr.. Lewis
and draws to 4. J.. Eddy and G. A. Barden,
leaving Twins for himself. His principal
openings were kelso with the blacks and
Switcher with the whites.
No. ! engine house that we gave notice of

CHECKER TRUTHS IN VERSE.

Mr. James OIg, in his yearly poem Ito the
Brethren O. the Brod), gives the following
verses on the strength of American players.
1t goes long way in showing that the play
ers of England and Scotland respect the
American experts, and in no encounter will
they hold us cheap. On this point our ex-
perts might take lesson, for to read some
of their writings we would be led to believe
that they can just do up anything over there
with ease. 1t is II good thing to have conf
dence, but if J. p. Reed had not held e. F..
Barker too cheaply in September, 1891, he
would not he so far out of sight to-day; and
in no place is this lesson more needed
than in Chicago. Mr.. j. T. Denvir, who is a
strong player and an able editor, brings his
own personality so prominently forward
thatitis simply tiresome. In his match-games
book, between Barker and Reed, the name
of Denvir occurs % times. This is not the
path 10 greatness. We take the liberty of
speaking plainly, as We desire to see Ameri-
can talent come to the front in way that
will command respect, but not'in way that
would be open to ridicule. Anyone who
studies the following verses will see that the
Scottish poet touches in a delicate way the
same truths:
Dor checker brethren owra the waves
Are garrin's scarf COR Groom:
An ccrtes. sirs their youthful braves
Hae made us change oor tune.

Nor houp they'll come to grief.

We wish them weel across the peel,

His Fame As Widespread.

Kennedy's restaurant at No. 2 Sixth
street is popular among shoppers and ladies
generally who wish to get a nice lunch while
downtown. Kennedy's fame as caterer is
widespread, and there are no weddings of
note or social gatherings that he is not
called upon to serve. His name adds so
much to affairs of this kind that it is the
proper thing to secure his services.

NOTES BY MR.. LEWIS.

(a) Freeman and Heifner in their book
will call this the "Kelso-Cross." Remember
ing that Mr.. Barker had won a "Kelso'' from
Reed in their Chicago match, we took this
odd line of play. What little published play
there is on this line is in favor of white, by
7white wins 0 black wins, and 10 dfaws-in
"Rober-son" and 'B. D. Pr
(b) Off book play. "Robertson's Guide"
var . plays 2L-l9, 1924 aS-l9, l1-l6, % 81, 914,
1S-9 5-14, 22-lS, Is, etc, drawn.
(c) We consider this move the source of
renguh in the strong game white afterward
attained
(d) When Mr.. Barker made this move it
occurred to us that We were getting pretty
good game with white.
(e) The critical position at this stage in
duced US to think that Mr.. Barker had made
his round of the nine other players in rather
quick time. We kept him waiting few Sec
onds and then moved 1915
~ This move virtually wins the game, as
all binck's forces are held in check.

Fire Insurance.

Property owners of Alma, look over
your fire insurance policies and see if
you are insured in sound and reliable
companies.
Many of the smaller companies have
been compelled TO reinsure their risks
and wind up their affairs during the
season of 1891.
Perhaps some one has bought policy
in some one of these financially weak
concerns.
Why will you pay your money for
such protection when there are such
companies doing business in Alma as
Home, of n. Y, Fire Association and
American of Philadelphia, Hartford,
Germania, Michigan Fire and Marine
and other stanch companies with mill
ions of capital and surplus to pay losses
that may occur. Business men con-
slider the value Of an insurance policy
before you buy it and accept none but
the best, The best is none too good
for you. When you buy insurance have
the satisfaction of knowing that should
you meet with loss by fire that you are
insured in company that pays all
losses promptly. 1t will cost you no
more to insure in good company than
a poor one. Are you insured, if not do
not delay getting a policy that is IA
protection? r. ID LEMEN. 500 2w.

Happy Girls.

There is no longer any excuse for
re-worn-loolsing girls, the two great
est worries of the average woman, skirt
braids and shoe buttons need no longer
trouble her. The firstclass shoe-shops
all keep buttons sewed on till the shoe
falls to pieces. A little machine has
been invented which does it in no time,
and 1t is quite easy to run in for a
moment on the way downtown and be
made self-respecting once more. And
then the skirt -braids. Get velvet ones
and learn what comfort really Is.
Bias velvet comes ready cut an inch
