Buttermaker Heileman a Winner.

When it was announced that there
was to be a meeting of the National
Creamery Bnttermakers Convention
at Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and
that prizes would be given to the
successful contestants, Mr.. Fred Heile-
man, buttermaker at the Blue Grass
Creamery, in Hamlin, carefully pre-
pared tub of butter and modestly
sent it to the convention, in COMPETE
ton. There were tubs OF butter en-
tered from the States of Minnesota,
Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Kansas and
South Dakota, Six Hundred in all,
and the judges gazed fixedly at each,
then they scored them, and they
scored them hard, but we find the
name of Mr. Heileman floating we'll
up to the top of the successful ones,
he being the fourth man with score
of Nlnety-Six Points out of the posi-
BILE one hundred The contestants had
to score over ninety-five per cent.
to get in the lis, of cash winners, and
out Of the whole six hundred entries
there were only twelve whose
average was so high, and naturally
Mr.. Heileman feels much elated over
the splendid markings his tub of
butter received and the honor he has
won for the Blue Grass Creamery.
Only twelve men averaged above
ninety-tive points, and as there is
S2.50J.O0 to be divided between these
twelve, Mr.. Heileman's personal earn
ings will amount to S25O.O0, and we
all say, hurrah tor Fred!
Iowa got the highest score on but
ter exhibited at the Sioux Falls con-
vention of the National Creamery
Buttermakers' association, the man
winning this great honor for the
State being A. w. Mccall of Creston,
whose score was 81 per cent.
Mr.. O. p. Jensen, of Wells Mime
sofa, was second best in the list with
A. w. Mccall, his tub of butter test
ing 962 per cent.
Minnesota had only one less entry
than Iowa, and succeeded in taking
the $4,000 prize state banner,
Minnesota's average score being the
highest of all.
Herman Book, Lake Park, Mimi
esota scored highest in the gathered
cream class, his mark being 81, and
with just one point less M. Magnus-
son of Bee, Minnesota was second in
the gathe red cream class.

IN CHESS CIRCLES,

Saturday night the same busy appear
ance of late presented itself again at the
rooms of the club. All the pairs in the
tourney were going, except that Mr.. lib
belts was prevented by indisposition from
playing his game with Mr.. Prender. Mr..
Woodward, as the bye Of the occasion, fit
ted around for time with the uneasy
look of man out of job, and soon dis
appeared. BY o'clock all the games had
peen started, and so nicely are the contest
ants balanced that at IL none had been dis
posed of.
Shortly after that Mr.. Gwyer earned the
inst win, Ruy Lopez OF his openinR from
Mr.. Harris, who is playing thus far under
the handicap of bad health. Shortly after
Mr. Boykin, who had the advantage of
pawn, but the balancing disadvantage of
bishop of opposite color, agreed to a draw
with Mr.. Smith
The next game closed was a Ruy Lopez
opened by Capt. OFarrell against Mr..
walker The end game even as to
force, and very exciting, as it looked for a
time as if Mr.. Walkers passed pawns on
the queens wing would be lost, and with
them the game, but by good management
the latter forced the win.
Dr. Hodges. playing against Mr.. Sournn's
Slclil&n Defense tD-qBi in reply to p-KD
/ established an excellent game and looked
| like a winner. but in his cagerness to force
! the win he overlooked the pinning of his
quce2 by the adverse bishops. Even with
THIS handicap he had by good mana cement
q Peipe'ual ctlech, Dut failed To adopt his
best moves. and Mr.. Sournin scored the
| win.
Two games We're adjourned. Mr.. Tharp
| opened with Zukertort's game (Kt-KB3)
| against Mr.. Adair, and at a late hour the
game was postponed. with the latter in a
winning position. The second was Mr. Ly-
mans Philidor defense to the X Kits open
ing CT Mr.. Hanna. During the game Mr.
Lyman sacrificed Il rock outright for posi-
ton, and had succeeded in establishing his
| fins side pawns in a threatening position,
When the game was adjourned at l 80 a M
HIS sacrifice came entirely expected by all
, and the prediction is that if he succeeds in
| winning he comes in for the brilliancy
prize. Later in the week this game was
played to finish, draw resulting. The
score is given below. The standing in the
champiOnShin tourney Is.
