The st. Petersburg Tourney.

The first round and one game in the sec
ond round in the chess tournament at st.
Petersburg has been played, with the re-
suit that Pllsbury and Lasker are tied for
first honors with the score three wins and
one loss, which Tschigorin and Steinitz
bring up the rear with one win and three
losses for a record. The surprise Of the
week was the announcement of the defeat
of Pillsbury who had won from Lasker and
Tschigorin, by SteinitZ. who had previously
lost to the same two players Pillsbury had
a winning position, but tried to force mat
tiers, and failed.
Pillsbury had the black pieces in all the
games of the first round, while Lasker, who
lied him, had first move twice When Pills
bury has played 1P-Qi in all the games
of the second round, as he undoubtedly will,
it will be a disappointment If he has not
added as many wins 10 his score games
played.
One thing noticeable in the games played
thus far is the number of short games re-
ported, viz, two of twenty-five moves one
of thirty moves, one OF thirty-flve moves,
and two of forty moves, especially when it
is remembered that the greatest living chess
masters are contending, and that the time
limit Is slow. The openings adopted We're
the PetroT, P to GA, Ruy Lopez, four
knights. Evans ganlbit, and queens gambit

White man Always on SOps
The negroes have song which runs
somewhat after this fashion:
"Makes no difference how you put in
de time
White mans boun for ter bring you
out behin."
A Republican darkey was making a
speech 10 the negroes in radical times
and told them that they had nothing
to expect at the hands Of The white
man Or "Dimicrat" party, in this or
the next world for he had been to the
lower regions in dream and there he
saw every white man holding a "nigger
'twixt him and de fire."
This was demonstrated in an accident
to Mr.. T. II. Ketchin's road cart
coming from Pennington the other
day. The cart was suddenly upset
and he and his driver were both thrown
violently to the earth. The harness
were badly broken and the darkcy bit
the ground with great force-but Mr..
K. managed to lisht on top of the
darkey; somehow or other the white
man is always on top.
