The famous Franco-P Polish chess expert D. ia
nowsk sent word a friend in this city on
Thursday that he would be ready to start for this
CITY on October % and that he hopes to arrive
here on October 81 or 81. He intends playing
match OF seven games at the Manhattan Cness
Club with Showalter. and this contest over. ne
will start on an extensive tour through the United

extraction, but he has been for nearly ten years
resident Of Paris. Like many professional play

Cologne II will be found that JanowsN takes the
third place at Vienna. fifth at Nuremberg. fourth

makes his play with amateurs doubly interesting.
