The junior partner of the firm s"ore

The case came up in court, and the
counsel for the senior partner asked

more time to prepare his case. Ihe
Judge granted the request, bail was
fixed and the senior member released

Amateur Athletic Clubs Finances
Are in Good Shape.

The beard of directors of the new ANA
tgur Athlet1c ASSOCIATION held a short ses-
sion last night The admission of a num-
Der of new members was approved and
some bills audited. The directorate is
highly pleased with the showing the club
Is able to make and feels that the club
is no longer an experiment, but is on a,
permanent basis. However, the organiza-
uon has not yet enrolled as many mem
bers as was set as mark, but it is
likely that the deficiency will be made up
very shortly. All active members have
paid their dues and the club is on a
firm financial foundation. In fact, the
club has made it a maxim not to incur
any indebtedness or spend any funds that
are not actually in the treasury, and the
results of the busIness-lke manner Of
conducting the affairs of the club are
very apparent
1t is regretted that the club has felt
under the necessity for the. past few
months of accepting the kindly offer Of
Prof. kasson to act as physical director
without compensation for as much of his
time as he able to spare from his bust
ness. It IS hoped that In a measure, at
least something can be done before very
long to receinpense him partially for his
valuable work.

with several antagonists, and other things
OF this sort familiar in chess, are practi-
cable in checkers. The reason of this is
plain, because the chess forces are pc
turesque, and the board at any partic-
lar moment makes a clear picture in the
mind of the expert, and his brains holds
these separate pictures of knights. sh-
ops. pawns, queens. rocks and kings as
each game orders them. with compare
uye ease, though the strain is very great.
Whereas the mere numbers of fndivid-
ually iDdistinguishable draughts can ere
ate no picture, and each game demands
the closest attention of the actual play
err Checkers. or draughts. is not only
the elder game but it is the Oldest intel
lectual game known, having been played
certainly for more than 1000 years, az
Egyptian paintings bear witness. 1t was
brought into European use probably not
moro than four or five centuries ago In
New. England it was the one game Of the
forefathers, who brought it from Eng
land, and while it is so simple that any
body can play it somehow, it is so diff
cult that there are few eminent players.
The literature of the game is no hing in
comparison with that OF chess. There is
no embroidery about it-no frills, SO to
speak. 1t is plain. down-ris hit hard work.
