He said in part:

The second coming of Christ enters
into the very substance of the Old Testa-
ment, glows with radiant fires in the
faith and hope or the prophets; is the
new wine of the gospel that sparkles in
all the bright antlclpations of evan

are Mrs. Thomas II Worrall, Of Brooklyn,

champion of the Manhattan Chess Club,
mentioned above On November of last
year they began a match of seven games
for the ladies' chess championship OF the
United states, which was conducted IL the
professional style, with uHpires. Although
the final game is still to be PLAYED, next
autumn, Mrs. ShOwalter accomplished de
cided victories. She is a native of Lcxn@-
ton, Ky, and only developed her talent
aftprWarriaSe. Although she is but wenty-
four, her caution ana intelligence would
do credit TO d veteran. Her most strik-
ing success has been IN winning a victory
over Lasker, thF champion Of the world,
Receiving from him the odds Of knight
and scoring five games to two. On even
terms she defeated Mr.. BuZ, strong
second-cIass player OF the Manhattan Club.

Mrs WorralI. an English woman by birth,
is much older, and was taught chess by her

A PRODIGY AT THE BOARD.
Owing to her extreme youth and her
studies at school, where she has distin-
guished herself by bearing Off prizes, Miss
Lillian Baird has not devoted much time
10 the pursuit for which she has evinced
such precucity. At the age of four she
knew the moves, and four years later com
posed her first problem, sending 1t to the

papers in England and abroad, and since
that time seventy problems have originated

Ragged on the Irish Coast Saturday and
Sunday.
London, November 10.-A violent
southwesterly gale prevailed at Queens
town throughout Saturday and sunday
accompanied by heavy gales. While an
chcring in the harbor the C'rnard steam
ship Campania's hawse pipe snapped
snd she lost her anchor and between
thirty and forty fathoms of chain. The
hose pipe was also fractured. After
repairs The Campania proceeded at $50
this evening. The gale was so severe
that the tender could not come along
side the steamer at Cork, and the pilot
was taken to New York. The British
ship ST. Mungo, Captain Hamilton, from
San Francisco, arrived in tow, broke
from her mornings and was blown to
the eastern bank. where she grounded.
Two tugs are still at work trying TO float
her. H. NJ. S. Speedy and Halcyon, and
many other vessels ale now shelterlng
in the harbOr.
