President Martinez Of the Manhattan Club
offered as a prize for the hest-played game
in the recent interstate match between Kew
York and Pennsylvania a silver smoking
set of unique design costing $50. The
Judges, Messrs. De Wiser and Richardson,
received the games thought by the win
ners fit for competition. numbered that
the Judgment should be impersonal and
fair possible. The award went to the
game won by LipschutZ of New York from
n. Stuart of Philadelphia. When the
suit was announced Kemeny of Philadel-
phia, who had a game in the competition.
protested that the loser had a drawing con-
tinuation and lost simply on wrong move.
The protest WAS dsalowed by Mr. Marti
neg. although the judges seemed to think
that the protest was good on the merits
of the games Mr. Kemeny's against Maj.
Hanham was very fine. for after winning
in force he found A rock on QKtI that
K mighty difficult to save, and 1t was
only by the utmost precision that he sue
ceeded. Simply on the merits of the pro-
test the decision Is right, because the reason

do with the past moves. The question is of IN
the greatest degree. The question is of in

to open Saturday night. October IA. The
prize at stake is humber. a set of loaded
chessmen. but we have not two states
back of us and no wealthy promoters of the
game, but the principles are the same.
