The second DAYS play in the cable chess match
proved 10 be even more exciting. II possible.
that any Of the days oi tho preceding contests
for the Ncwnes trophy. In the morning every
thing appeared TO be going Americas way. but
before the final move was made the home
team and the unusually large crowd that
watched the players had ~occnsion for
, many misglvings. Fortune seemed TO favor
each side In turn, but. after several surprising
occurrences had taken place. everything wound
up to the satisfaction Of the enthusiasts. The
Americans won by a score Of six games out OF
a possible ten. thus retaining tho cup in this
country. Among the spectators was n large
representation o, women, who followed the
course OF the different games as intentlY and
applaudcd as voci'erousIy "a did the men.
It was with plcnty Of confidence on the part
Of both players and spectators that the contest
got under way In the morning, Nearly
every one who had watched the progress
Of the games on Friday afternoon aud was
acquainted with the state Of affairs when
tine was called was fully convinced
that nothing short OF a miracle could
prevent the Americana from scoring IN q
most decisive manner. Metropolitan experts
had been busy most Of Friday night with the
. pending games and had given to each OF thema
searrhing analysis. with q result that an over.
whelming defeat was figured out for the bene-
IL Of the hapless Britishers. At that time and
early yesterday morning the final totals were
variou sly estimated at Gt and 7 points for the
tenn stationed at this end in the Assembly
Room. OF the Academy of Music, Brooklyn.
Even the most pessimistically inclined could
not foresec any other outcome to the great
struggle for supremacy.
Tho developments in the play during the
earlier part Of yesterday mornings session did
not tend to oycrturn these saneuine %calcula-
tons. A a matter of fact. it dill not take long
for Barry. llymes. Voigt and Delmar TO add to
their Advantages Of the previous evening. The
. exception was Showaltcr. who moro than any
on- else, was expected to win hands down.
The Kentuckian. however. through some III
Judged Exchanges. managed to fritter away
his predominant superiority. True. he
was able to win the exchange.
but in doing 80 he had to swap or the queens.
and this gave Lee his first chance to draw a
long breath. Later on the London professional
still further freed himself. and finally he
emerged rom his p~redicamont with n whole
skin. much to the chagrin Of the ex.champions

PREPARED to raise the roof from tho building
when the Westerncr succeeded in making il
five straight. but in this they were soreIy
disappointed.
What Showalter missed In the way OF an
ovation was accorded to John Barry. the clever
Boston expert. He. for the better lart OF
Friday, had been playing what Appeared To the
MAJORITY OF the ,onlookcrs an uphill game, and
nobody, except him self, was particularly cun-
ident 81 his ability to hold the British amateur
champion, until Just before play stopped for

combination. his redoubtable adversary at his
