F. J. LEE. N JAsNOGRODsKY.
nament at Bradford in 1888 and at Man
chester two years later he won games from
Blackburne, Bird, Burn, Captain Macken-
zie, Taubenhaus, Thorold and other well
known masters of the game. Lees most
brilliant performances have, however, been
in the handicap tournaments at Simpsons
classic chess divan in the Strand, London.
Jasnogrodsky isG Polish expert. He is
now Sc years old, but has only been play
ing chess about eight years He has a
wonderful memory, and his forte is blind
fold and simultaneous play. At Brighton,
England, he once played 26 games stimuli
taneously, of which were conducted
blindfolded. He won 20 games over the
board, won blindfold games, lost 2 and
drew l.
Now that William Steinitz has formally
accepted Emanuel Lasker's challenge a
great struggle between these chess giants
may be expected. The match will be 10
games up for at least 5000. The contest
viii probably begin next February. AS a
commentary upon the money that may be
made by the leading eXponents of great
sports it is interesting to note that while
Lasker and Steinitz, the monarchs of the
chess world, viii battle for 5000, Corbett
and Mitchell, the kings of the prize ring
will contest for 100000 Brawn thus com
mands 20 times as much cash as brains.

fnmmerman's SI2uOU, despite the racJ that
there were no Sangers, Windles, Tylers
and Johnsons in the Cash Prize league to
prevent him from winning a rich first prize
now and then.
At the Worlds fair meet alone thinner

II. c. Tyler captured collection of trophies
valued at S605. During his career thinner

precious stones in a single day. For the
first time America has had professional
circuit this season, but despite the fact that
liberal cash prizes have been given the
half dozen leading professional wheelmen
have not won anywhere near the amount of
money represented in the prizes captured
by the same member of amateur riders.

When the owner had departed the
head contractor abused his superin.

tendent then in good set terms swore
at the master mason and the captain

made it uncomfortable for their infe-

carriers addressed most disrespectful

Royalty Doesn't Alwnys Como HIGH.

The smallness Of his stature is al
most as sore point with the Duke of
York as the same shortcoming is with
his father. Both the Princess of Wales
and Princess May are a good deal
taller than their S onses, and that is
the reason why the Prince of Wales
has such marked aversion to being
photographed standing by the side of
the princess. If you look at almost
any photograph of their highnesses
you will see that either the princess is
sitting in a chair with the prince stand
ing behind her, or, if she be standing
up, the prince is mounted on some steps
in the background. There are num-

from Virginie's garden into the High
