Mr.. Wilson about n year ago. Ho believed the

erect a wall in imitation of a fort. but built of
cobblcstones. This offer was accepted by tho
Grand Army post. The fort was hardly COM
pleted before there was n storm OF objections
from the villagers.
The trustees of the Presbyterian Church. in

declared that the fort disfiRured the street and
hid the church. They requested the Memorial
done because 1t was promised that the appear
ance would be improved after ivy had had time
to grow up around tho fort. Several days ago
the trustees again asked its removal and the re-
quest was granted by the g. A. II.

CHESS.
Another Win for PiIIsbury In the
nhlp mitch,

The chess experts who frequent tho Pillsbury-
Showalter match at the Postal Telegraph build
ing were divided in opinion yesterday noon.
prior to the commencement of play, as to
whether Pillsbury, who had the move. would
permit Showaltcr to set up another French De-
fence or would Illustrate such intention with
P-Q 4. Some new lines of play which the
champion hns been working out md wished to
put to the test determined the point, and a
Queens Gambit Declined was presently in evil
dence.
The carly opening was on the well-known
limos of one Of StcinitZs variations. and. up to
whites seventh turn. followed the games Of the
previous Pillsbury-Showaltcr match. AT that
point white captured blacks queens pawn. in
stead of developing his rock at bishops quare.
and, later, played Q-B .. with the intention of
keeping the adverse knight out Of 5.
So far as X 5 was concerned the play was sue
~cessful; but black, who had brought over his
queens knight to the defence of his menaced
X r p by stationing it at X b square. was able
to force a considerable exchange of pieces, and
thus simplify matters by playing his kings
knight to Kt 5. Thereafter he turned the
kings side attack and compelled white to nd,
vance his X Drawn, TO the serious weakening OF
whites kings pawn. which served as a mark
for Sho walters attack practically through the
whole miadle game.
Piilsbury was able. however. to set up a
queens side attack by pushing forward rapidly
his q II md q kt pawns. the force OF which
Showalter undcrestimalcd, and therefore failed
to forcstall. Ingenious play on both sides result.

white to bring over his two rocks to the open Q
