Walker SIN Leads for the South
worth TrOphy-Other Matters.
The contest for the Southworths trophy
among the chess players is growing more
exciting as the final games approach. The
schedule Of games that was posted several
weeks ago contemplated finish by the
4th of August week hence, but there
have been several games postponed on the
default of both players. and so it may. be
that the conclusion may not be reached by
next Saturday. Tine lead of MIR. Walker
seems to be inyincibie. and ne is. hardly to
be headed off before the tourney closes.
Mr. Patterson, who was until recently
seemingly good icr second place. has lost
ground curing the week. Up to yesterday
evening the score stood ;hus: u a. acc, Won

started SO aGspiciously. Ordinarily thiS,can-

For small affair the summer whist tehr-
ney is making slow progress iadeed, hat
each week shows some slight change in
the score and the end is in sight. The lead
which has hitherto been stubbornIy held
by Gailinser and Cooley. is undisputed by
Lee and Finn, who have drawn up to a
tie. The latest score stands thus: CALM

The checker men are pegging away at
their own tournament, which has been
blockaded somewhat by the vacation ten
iencies of the occupants of the west end Of
the long room on 18th street. Mundelle
holds his strong lead. undisturbed by the
Entertainments of Robbins who HANGS
close to his skirts. The score last evening
showed the competitors to stand thus: Mun-
