THE LOCAL CHESS TOURNEY,
Falling or in the Number of Came
pluyed.


There has been a decided falling off in
the number of games played in the present
continuous handicap tournament at the
Washington Chess Club. In the first tour
ney, comprising the first quarter of the
year. the number of games played averag ed
1000 per month, and in the second tour
ney, which closed on June 30, the average
was GD games per month. The present
tourney is two-thirds completed, and but
2ol games have been played thus far Only
hfty-four games We're contested the past
month. This is largely owing to the warm
weather, and the abSerce from the city of
several of the players. There are PLAYERS
also who cannot compete successfully IN
the higher classes, but who do not care 10
go into lower class and accept odds and
therefore they have practically dropped out
of the tourney. There seems to be a re-
luctance on the part of many to accent
ODDS. II, however, one player is strong n
than another and can win easily playing
even, 1t would seem that odds should lac
given In such case A strong PLAYER does
not Improve, but rather the reverse by
playing with a weaker opponent on such
terms that he can readily wiz and it would
seem TO be discourag ing to the one VINO
is successfully defeated
From indicat tons few players will uualifv
for a prize this Tournament which closes
on the Both instant. The rules require
forty games to be played with at lea It
eight different players. Scarcely play,,r
is yet qualified for a prize The leading
scores are follows:

ENTERTAINED AT DINNER
Ex-secretary Foster Gives Banquet to Ii
Hung Chang.
The VicerOy's Associates and Some
Distinguished Americans Also
Present-The Guests Speech.

The distinctive feature of Ii Hung
Chang's visit to Washington and one which
he will probably remember the longest was
the dinner given in his honor last night
at the Arlington by Mr.. John W. Foster,
eX-Secretary of State. Most of the enter
tainments which have been extended to the
viceroy on his trip around the world have
been of perfunctory character, but the
banquet last night was different, inasmuch
as the warmest friendship existed between
the host and the guest of honor, and the
other gentlemen who attended fraternized
in the same cordial spirit. The dinner was
served in the three state parlors Of the
Arlington and was carried out as described
in The Evening Star of yesterday. The
apartments were beautifully decorated. the
walls being concealed by great masses of
growing palms, while the oblong oval table
was beautified with flowers in red green
and yellow, which are the predominating
colors of the Chinese people. The Marine
Band was in attendance, and during the
dinner played Chinese as we'll as American
airs.
Ex-Secretary Foster had invited 10 meet
the viceroy the following gentlemen: His
Excelle ncy Ii Ching Tong, Secretary Lo
Feng Luh, Lii Ching Lou (the viceroy's sec
ond SOM, DR.. Irwin. medical attendant;
Dr. Max, medical attendant; His Excel

rotary Francis, Justice Harlan, Governor
IloWndes Of Maryland, Gen. Miles, Gen
Ruger Assistant Secretary Rockhill Mr.
b. Il. Drew, commissioner of Chinese Gus
toms: Gen. ]. II. Wilson and DR.. W. w
Johnston "
Dinner was announced at $50 O'Clock.
and LII Hung CharS was escorted to his
post of honor by Mr.. Poster The viceroy
sat between Secretary Carlisle and Justice
Harlan, ard conversed with them with
much animation He was particularly
pleased with the decorations of the table.
and was especially gratified at the presence
OF chinese gourd. He was chiefly inter
ested. however, in a Mexican lily which
was included in the floral decorations and
about which he asked many questions.
The viceroy mad taken dinner earlier in the
evening. and partoOk but sparingly of the
repast, which had been prepared by the
American cooks at the Arlington and
barely touched the champagne The
courses were served rapidly, and the din
ner was concluded in half an hour When
the coffee had been served, Mr. Foster
arose and expressed the great pleasure of
the party at the visit of Ii Hung Chang to
the American capital regretting that his
urgent public duties in China made his
stay in this country so brief He assured
the viceroy that the company heartily join
ed in wishing him safe and comfortable
journey across the continent and over the
ocean to his far-off home, and a long life
of continued usefulness to China and the
whole world
