CleveInnd's Near Ncighhor.

From the Boston Post. ~
On the Gray Gables grounds there is an
other home beside the one which has given
fame to the region of Buzzard's Bay. Dad
dy Brunn,'' hermit fisherman, shares the
estate with Grover Cleveland, ex-President
That state of affairs was brought about by
the loss of the Brunn cabin in fire and
the kindness of the Clevelands.
After Brunn lost his home his friends
raised sufficient money to build him a new
house, but he had no land on which to
build it. Brunn had a longing to live by
The riverside, and while all the desirable
land was owned by Mr.. Cleveland. Brunn
felt that the then chief magistrate would
grant him leave to erect home on some
part Of the land fronting on Monument
river.
One of the villagers went to Mr.. Cleve-
land i'll behalf of Brunn. and in few days
a favorable reply was received.
The news was received by Brunn with
much joy, and he set at work to have a
house built, selecting site on the neck of
land fronting on Monument river.
The house is about 10X12 feet with 10
foot posts. 1t has been built in thorough
manner, and will afford Brunn a cozy and
comfortable home. -l-. .... ..

Mr.. w. II. Smith has won first prize in
the summer tournament at the Washing
ton Chess Club. He won the final game in
his series from Mr.. Prender last Saturday
evening. The latter brought out his queen
early in the game, and lost it on the eiev-
enth move by allowing it to be caught in
a net. He struggled along and secured a
good attack, but the advantage was too
much to overcome, and he resigned after
thirty-five moves.
Mr. Smith thus wins first prize with the
excellent score of nine games won and one
game drawn, the latter to Captain OFar-
Iell He did lose his first game to Mr. J.
D. Elwell, but the latter withdrew, and The
game was Cancelled. Thereafter he did not
lose a game. His score Is somewhat SINH
lar to that of F. 3. Walker, in the cham
ponship tourney of the club last winter
Mr.. Walker lost his first game to Mr.
Wright, who withdrew after winning two
games and losing one. Under the rules of
that tourney the games played were al
lowed to stand, and those who had not
played Mr.. Wright scored a game by de-
fault. Mr.. Walker did not thereafter lose
a game, and came in ahead by a game and
a half. Mr.. Smith did not participate in
that tournament, and Mr.. Walker was not
entered in the present tournament. 1t
would not be surprising II these two play
ers came together in a match before many
months.
Mr. Smith is a very promising player
but his future in the city is uncertain, as
he is employed as boakkeeper in a local
bank, which is shortly to voluntarily go
out of business, and he may leave the city
thereafter.
The following is the present standing Of
the playerS.

CHESS AND ITS PLAYERS

More than half of the Berlin tournament
has been completed. At the end of the
ninth round Marco the Austrian is in the
lead. This is surprising, he has not
heretofore been regarded as dangerous to
the other experts. He has usually finished
about half way down the list. He has not
yet actually lost a game, though four
games were drawn, which is equivalent to
two games lost. Blackburne is second
with enc game adjourned. Janowski, the
Frenchman, is a strong third, and Englisch
and Walbrodt are tied for fourth place.
Bardeleben withdrew account of ill
health, after playing two rounds
The following is the score of the players
at the close of the ninth round:

YERkEs LENS uNMAsks NEW STARS.

Penetration of Spaces Hitherto Be
lieved to Be Impenetrable.
From the Chicago Times Herald.
The great Yerkes telescope has unmasked
hitherto unseen worlds. The great lens has
been focused into space, and to the great
Joy of Director Hale and Professor Barn
ard, and their associates, the light-gather-
ing power of the glass has been proved
perfect. 1t far surpasses the thirty-six-
inch lens of The Lick observatory, &and Pro-
lessor Durham. who is acquainted with
all the great telescopes in this country and
abroad. has given it as his opinion that
the Yerkes lens is the peer Of all.
The wonderfully constructed lens has
light-gathering powers that pierce far into
the unknown, and even the haZy mists Of
the nebulae have been penetrated. Most
of the objects connected with the nebua in
Lyra, the great cluster in Hercules and the
dumb-bell nebnla have yielded up their
secrets in the past only through the agency
Of the Photographic plates. Professor Barn
ard has seen these only family at Mount
Hamilton. At Lake Geneva he has been
able to view them with unusual distinct
ness. After Professor Barnard had swept
the sky in the region of the nebuiae, he
pointed the instrument toward region
located to the astronomer in Pos. 312 Ge-
grees; Dist. So minutes. Professor Burn
ham had frequently pointed the Lick in
pectaticn of finding something new To
Burnham on Mount Hamilton it was all
space and nothing more He watched whole
nights and discovered nothing. He swung
the giant tube toward the region, and the
first discovery at the Yerkes observatory
was registered on the dial near the dome.
The unknown wanderer was found near
Winnecke's companion to Vega. Although
1t might claim some distant relationship to
Vegas companion, it is too far away TO be
considered as physically connected with
the l1minary and may have an orbit of its
own. AS Vega has been one of the best
Observed bodies OF the heavenly wanderers
the discovery speaks volumes for the new
lens. 1t also dlsproves the theory of Pro-
fessor Lowell as to the unfavorable atmos-
pheric conditions of the region in which
the telescope is located.
The instrument SO auspiciously brought
into the field of science, will be dedicated
october Il and 20. In connection with the
fcrmal exercises a series OF conferences on
astronomical subjects will be held at the
observatory and at the University of Chi
cago. The formal presentation of the OBJ
servatory to the university by Mr.. Yerkes
will take place at IL 30 O'Clock in the fore
rcon. The principal orator for the occa-
sion has not yet been appointed. In :he
evening a reception will be given 10 Mr.
and Mrs. Yerkes and to the visiting men of
science.
