Cruise.
The trim yacht Penelope. owned by
Mr.. William Lacy, it is announced on
good authority, is to be transformed
from a pleasure craft into strictly
business vessel The report could not
be corroborated from Mr.. Lacy nor his
sons last night. as the latter were out

story is given as told by one of the fam

1t appears that the yacht, which is
one of the fastest on the coast, has
lately been overhsuled and put in shape
for sealing cruise. Her interior has
been arranged 20 as to give her carry
ing capacity for 5000 skins, and ehe has
been strengthened and adapted to the
hard work before her.
1t is announced that she will sail on
the 10th instant, and her cruise will
likely be a long one. extending, it is

Manhattan Chess club and entering the
handicap tournament received the odds
OF pawn and move from Captain Mac
kenzie.
In his game with this recognized
master, Lipschutz was unfortunate,
carelessly leaving his queen en- prise,
which forced him to resign after the
fourth move.
In spite of this handicap he won,
however, the third prize.
He then joined the New York Chess
club and took part in the championship
tournament.
Among his opponents were Messrs.
Delmsr, Lloyd, Burke and other strong
players.
Mr.. Lipschutz. however, beat all the
contestants, winning every game, with
the exception OF one, which he lost to
an inferior player.
A year later the New York Chess club
sent him to London as their champion,
to take part in the international tour
nament OF the B. @. A., 1885, where,
greatly to his own astonishment, he de-
feated Mackenzie and Zukertort in the
personal encounter and general score,
and also defeated Burn, Bird. Mortimer
and Schsllop, drawing With Blackburn.
In 1887 Mr.. Lipschutz won the cham
pionship of the Manhattan chess club.
and in 1889 the frat prize in the New
York state championship.
In 1892 he acquired the title of cham
pion of America, by defeating j. U.
Showalter by to and draws.
AS matter of course Mr.. Lipschutz
has had matters almost entirely his own
way at chess in this city.
The only player who could at all make
stand against the superiority of his play
was Mr.. Pierce of the Athletic club,
who picked up couple of games with
the champion, but with these exceptions
Mr.. Lipschutz has easily defeated all
comere.
On Saturday next an extremely inter-
esting feat is promised at the chess
rooms of the Athletic club.
Mr.. Lipschutz will play, blindtolded,
IL simultaneous games, the best players
of the city being pitted against him.
The chess enthusiasts are looking for
ward TO the occasion and will undoubt-
edly attend in large numbers.
1t is three to one bet, however, that
the champion OF America will win his
12 games.

And now the worlds fair management
have finally decided to open the exhibit
ton as we'll as the gates on Sunday. The
dissertation of the Sabbath day by a
Christian nation is bad enough, but TO
do it in direct ~contravention of law and
a moral business obligation not to do it,
is only another prominent instance OF
the weak spot in American individual
and national life-disrespect for law and
worship of the god, Mammon. 1t is on
ly a question of time and a not very long
time at that in the life OF a natlon~when
this ulcer will eat it up. We are fast

War now 'rears it's horrid 'front.'" as a
result of the supreme court decision in
the Geary law case against the Chinese.
While the right OF congress to make
such a law is no doubt constitutional, it
is, in this case directly subversive OF
every right granted to Chinese by former
and existing treaties and az q moral OBJ
legation between nations the treaties
stand superior to any act OF congress
violating them. Justice Field in his
dissenting opinion denounced the act as

Chief Justice Fuller Writes n Love Letter.
A few days ago having occasion to
consult his physician Chief Justice Full
Ter concluded instead of sending for him
to enjoy the short walk to his residence
and perhaps o social little chat IN the lat
ter's library. The door was opened for
him by a new man, who after informing
him that the doctor was ont, but left
word he would shortly return, asked the
chief Justice into the library to wait.
Wholly unaware of the exalted posi-
ton In legal circles held by the quiet
gentleman with a kindly CLEAN in his
ewes. the man soon presented several
sheets Of ruled paper, a stamped envel-
ope, pen and inkstand to the chief jus
| tice. The chief justice looked up IN
auiringly at the man, who. in evident
embarrassment, stood before him hold
ing the literary tools. Bashfully trip
ping his words over each other as he
stated the case, the man proffered the re.
quest that the visitor. while waiting fol
the doctors return, employ himself II
writing a love letter, as though ardently
desiring to communicate with his sweet
heart. the poor fellow being deferred
from doing so by his lack of knowledge
in the art Of penmanship.
Without hesitation, as though tina
was the one business of his life, the chic
Justice at once acGuiesced and settlet
down to the composition of what wa
undoubtec ! the most unique love lette
ever penned by his hand.-Washingto
