lasted from the close of the market until

Prof. Jackson gave it out to his admirers
after the games were over that he, for
some unknown reason, could not con-
centrate his mind on the game yesterday.
This tournament gives Mr.. Barrick the
right to call himself champion of the
street. At several of the brokers' Offices
