Each game lasted about forty min

of some of the pawnS, who were neces-

with very little change Of position.
The movement of the pieces were ar
ranged so as TO make the grouping as
effective as possible, and the games
were ended by II of the queens Civ

ed king gave up his scepter, which was
received with quite royal courtesy by

Great success is reported Of the first
years experience of the RowtOn model

which fifteen months ago attracted a
great deal of attention among municipal

been compelled 10 live in cheap and

designed the experiment and furnished
the funds for its trial. The house &C
commodities 40 men and affords a
separate sleeping apartment for every
lodger and well warmed and lighted
dining, smoking and reading rooms,
toilet and bathrooms, with a con-
slant supply of hot and cold water,
conveniences for washing and drying
clothes. and cooking stoves, with all
utensils and facilities for cooking food.
Lodgers can either cook heir own
food or buy their meals at cost price.
The charge for the full use of all the
conveniences and comforts Of the house
for twenty-four hours is sixpe3ee, about
equal to Il cents. In all arrangements
of sanitation and cleanliness the house
is perfect, and the degree of comfort
afforded is great. The house has been
continuously full since the opening day,
forty or fifty people being turned away
almost nightly. and commercially the
concern has proved a complete sue
