ridicule the declarations of NJ Quesnay
de Beaurepaire, the former president
of the civil branch of the court Of
cessation, is regarded here as a fur
ther example Of the disposition outside
OF France to belittle every incident
and all evidence unfavorable to the
Dreyfus cause. 1t Is impossible to con-
verse with representative men in Paris
without seeing that the action Of M.
de Beaurepaire has created a deep i'm
preston. The facts he alleges are not
considered trivial. Some of them are
held TO be OF real Importance, and all
of them taken together are thought to
make out a good case against the Grim
inal branch of thes court of cessation
Moreover, 1t is noteworthy that M. de
Beaurepaire's declarations have made a
deeper impressionin the legal circles
than anywhere else. Dreyfusist views
had been making great headway at the
palais de Justice, during the last four
months. but now they have few defend

SUMMARY.
Result.
IN THE AFTERNOON.


From Dec. 81 Pillsbury was in Chicago
playing exhibitions daily both blind
fold and simultaneously. Thursday,
JAN 5, he played blindfold at the Chi
cago university against eight strong
players, giving the move, a most I'M
usual thing in this style of exhibition,
as it gave his opponents the openings.
Friday afternoon he played series OF
hard games against Mr.. Lee, one OF
Chicago's strongest. Saturday evening
he played twenty seven chess and ten
checker games simultaneously. Sun
day afternoon he played twenty-five
simultaneous games at the Deutscher
club, at Milwaukee, and in the evening
four blindfold simultaneous games
against the strongest players. Monday
he spent on the cars, getting little
rest. Tuesday at Albert Lea he played
eight chess and two checker games
blindfold and simultaneously in the
afternoon and dn the evening ten chess
games. Wednesday, at Northfield, four
blindfold games in the afternoon and
in the evening seventeen simultaneous
chess games.
After such a series of labors, and
be it known that all the blindfold and
simultaneous experts conf1ne them
selves to two days only of such hard
work per week, he felt mentally and
physically tagged SO that he spent the
afternoon in getting acquainted with
the ST. Paul and Minneapolis players
and chatting over chess and chess
masters and their methods. The even
ing play began at 7:30, when a large
number of chess, checker and whist
players were present to watch the
quiet dark-eyed little man handling
SO many intricate problems at once
one Of which has been enough, often,
to give them headache.
The representative of The Globe
questioned Mr.. Pillsbury regarding the
force OF players of today compared
with Morphy and his contemporaries.
In substance his answer was:
