IN CHESS CIRCLES.

In the championship tourney last Satur-
day night but four of the seven games
were played. The most noteworthy of
these was the defeat of District Champion
Hanna by Mr.. Tibbetts. Apparently #
was not MIR. Hanna's day, for at no
stage after the few opening moves was he
in the game. The score is given below
and is entered by Mr.. Tibbetts for the
briliiancy prize. to be awarded in conpec-
ticn with this tourney. Mr.. Harris in his
game with DR.. Hodges got the best of the
contest at an early stage and won out.
Mr.. Gwyer lost to Mr.. Walker, but @onIv

between Messrs. Adair and Smith con-
Guided in a draw. Friday Afternoon
Messrs. Prender and Walker played OFF a
postponed game. which was lost by MIR.
Walker by an unfortunate slip involving
the loss of the exchange. Mr. Prender
used his advantage skillfuily until he
forced the win. The simultaneous loss of
a game by Messrs. Hanna and Walker cuts
big slice of their percentage of won
games, and leaves Mr.. Sournin with a good
lead in the championship race. and as first
place has been generally looked on as the

GOOD THINGS FOR XMAS.
Boxes Packed and Shipped Witho,
Extra Charwe

One of the oldest established grocery
stores in the city is that Of w. B. Hoover
at 1417 New York avenue. The business
was started many years ago by Mr.. John
H. Magruder, with whom Mr. Hoover was
associated as bookkeeper and partner for
about ten years. When the firm of Ma
gruder & Co. was dissolved Mr. Hoover
bought the stock and good will at the New
York avenue store. Mr.. Hoover carries all
the fine lines of staple and fancy gro
ceries, table delicacies, champagnes, cor
dfals, wines, etc, and everything bought
there may be counted upon to be of the
highest quality and sold at the lowest con-
sistent prices. The Christmas display of
good things 10 eat and drink is the largest
and best that this store has ever had.
Those who intend to send a Christmas box
of groceries and dainties to their friends
out of town would not make mistake by
placing their orders with Mr.. Hoover. He
pays the freight 10 any point within fifty
miles of the city and makes no charge for
carefully packing and shipping the boxes.
Two of the specialties of this house are
White Swan" -four, which is an old IA
vorite In many Washington homes. and Mr.
Hoover's own blend of old government Java
and Mocha coffee, which he sells for SO
cents pound.
