British and American players, which ended
Saturday in a victory for the latter. was
the second OF its kind. the one last year
having been a draw. The contest on this
side was managed by the Brooklyn Chess
Club. The hail in which the Americans
played was decorated with English n
American flags. The New York Sun thus
describes the arrangements for conducting
and recording the games:
The tables for the players were placed on
east end OF the hall. There were twelve
tables, eight for the players and four smaller
ones. placed between the playing tables
Tor the accommodation OF the ~tellers, each
or whom scored for two players. Large
score cards were suspended from the plat
form, one In front of each player, and
OF the spectators. Eight large chess boards,
each about four feet square, were placed
along the south wall and properly tlcketed
with the names of the contesting players.
A superintendent and staff of six operators
looked after the Geographic facilities. Two
tables were used by the Geographic corps,
one for receiving and the other for trans
hitting moves. On each playing table
stood clocks for registering the time of the
player In making his move, the rules re-
curing that eacn player should make mis-
hour. his fortieth before the end of the sec
ond hour, and so on. While waiting for
the other man to move. the clock was. OF
course, stopped, the companion clock licking
away merrily on the other side of the At
lantic. As fast as dispatches came in from
abroad they were manifolded, one copy
the player. one to the teliex in charge of the
big score sheets, and one to the men who
moved the pieces on the large board along
the wall. AS soon as the English players
move was handed to his American opponent,
the latters clock was set in motion by the
teller. When the American player had made
up his mind what to reply he moved his man
slip on which the number Of the board
and the number of the move were marked.
He signed the slip. which was passed by
the teller TO the sending table. His clock
was meanwhile stopped, and he was then
of duty until another slip came to his table.
