MYSTERIOUS CHESS PLAYER

In Austria-Hungary there is a marvel
Gus chess player, whose name and resi-
dence are unknown, but who every now
and then shows remarkable skill in the
game. The last story of him is told by
James H Hyatt, of Philadelphia, who has
just returned from Budapest.
Il was playing chess with friend IN a
cafe says Mr. Hyatt, "and plainly saw
my defeat, when little bit of a shriveled
Pole with tray of cheap jewelry stood
in front of US and offered his wares in
most persuasive tones.
Go away! / said.
Z" You can beat him., answered the ped
dler, whose attention was on the game.
!" What do you know about 1t? / asked
May tell him?' he inquired, looking
at my opponent.
Certainly; crack away! came the re-
ply. in a tone of assurance
Take his knight said my self-ap-
pointed instructor. I did so, to humor
him, though lost my queen by the opera
that the very next move gave me the
game.
Let me play with your asked the
peddler l mate you in the moves you
say and where you say

I answered. Take the white men. Mate

ty-two moves If you can

count of the moves, and moved rapidly
After about dozen moves had the ad-
vantage of a bishop and a pawn, and was
assured l would defeat my aggressive lit
tie opponent. When he let castle go by
an apparently careless play l was sure
of victory. Then came a sudden change
in the situation, and 1 had to move my
king out of check. / was on the defensive
and in rapid retreat.
:" 'Twenty-one moves said my friend
as the little peddler put me out again in
check with his knight.
Mater cried my opponent, as he
swung his queen across the board.
MY king was on the queens fourth
square.
II gave him ten fiorins and he walked
away shaking his head and hands with in
finite satisfaction"

One with an Amethyst Setting vCaus-

At an informal gathering of a faw

host was complimented, and Justly too
upon his unique and original idea The
guests had finished with crackers cheese
and coffee, and were nibbling on paner-
smell mint discs and transparent straws
while the host was relating an exciting
experience with a. huge bear while on
one OF his visits to Canada His manner
OF telling the story was extremely realis-

part, he picked up a dainty teaspoon all

beautifully cut amethyst which was set
in the handle of sterling silver teasponn
OF the Puritan pattern.
When he had concluded his narrative
one OF the friends at the far end of tho
table gave vent to his curiosity and asked
whether that spoon which the host had
used in place of a gun while talking. was
his latest fad.
Yes" said the host, examine it and
tell me what you think of it," as he pass
ed it to his right.
AS the spoon was handed from one TO
another and then back again in order tn
allow everyone its inspection, he told of
its origin
This spoon," he said, was a present
TO me from my oldest boy, who bought
1t with his own savings. We have no
other piece of table artillery like it,.
he said, laughingly, "and no one can use
1t by mistake. The stone, which was
given to me by an old friend before he
died, had set in the handle by the hest
jeweler in town. and holding it up in his
hand in the sunlight, said: What do YOU
think OF it, all Of you, and did 1 steal the
idea from any of you?'
1t was really a beauty, and a broad
shouldered son of Johnny Bull, a ma rticu
lar friend of the host remarked: "By
JoVe, Brewster, that is a winner; artistic
to the last degree, and if you have NO
patent on the idea, I'll have my topaz
watch charm taken apart and a spoon
I'll have"
After dinner, when the gentlemen left
their wives to light the "all Efavanas''
provided for them in the den, the hostess
remarked to her friends in the reception
room across the hall, 81 should think that

Certainly a practical and beautiful
idea, said one; but l hope not many
April babies will be named after me-"
A han5dozens gold OF silver after-dinner

of having his present dubbed a dupll-

JUST ABOUT DRESS.

The new spring and summer gowns
seem to be especially designed for the
display of tiny mites of bows, either of
satin or velvet. The thumb-naH bow-has.
caught the fancy of the hour. Satin is
sometimes used for these bows, but very
narrow black velvet ribbon is prescribed
by several authorities as the correct ma
terial. These bows may be the appropri-
ate setting for the diminutive buckle of
cut steel or jet or "strass, as rhine
stones are now called. These are a beau
t1ful addition to any toilet They show
especially well on q black waist whether
figured foulard or tucked taffeta be used.
You will need one bow at the downward
point of your sleeve cap, an inverted tri-
angle or lace or tuckingS You will require
half a dozen to stud the expanse of the
shoulder collar, which borders the vest
of lace used over cream silk The bows
are also used on the. lengths of black
velvet, which are drawn down through
the openings of your lace front.
Notice the short side sash on modish
| spring gowns, particularly where they
are made of foulard or soft Grape The
side sash is very short; the ends may not
fall lower than the knee. You can, fringe
the ends if you like, but most probably
you will prefer a finish of Brussels net
used as a ruching. Black Liberty silk
and black velvet ribbon can be used for
the short side sash. Very often it is of
taffeta, of darker shade than Ithe tone
of the color of the gown, unless this be
of black, when the same would be used
for the sash The side sash has COM

A Stirring Finish at Last Mile of the Six Day Race-Record Behind Last Years.
 The six day bicycle team race at Mad ison Square Garden, New York, was won by Mcfarland and Bikes at 10 o'clock, Saturday night, with Pierce and McEachren second and Simar and Gou- goltz, the French team, third. Only by scant length did the winning team secure secure first honors, and little more than lap was all that separated the second and third teams. It was stirring finish to a long, wearisome journey, and one that will probably be long remembered by the throngs of spectators who were in the Garden at the time. Early in the week the French team lost lap, and they never sue ceeded in regaining it, although they frequently tried to do so.
 The record made by Miller and Wall CT in the six day bicycle team race held last year was 2,7S3 miles and 1 laps. The final score in the race which closed Saturday night was as follows:

Professor J. Hayden Waud died in Joppa, Scotland, on December 1. Pro- lessor Waud was a well known figure in musical circles here for many years, where he filled positions as organist and solo violincellist. He was mem- ber of the New Haven Symphony or chestra and frequently played in the theater orchestra when the services of a 'cellist were required Over twenty five years ago he came from England to Quebec to assume the duties of Cr- ganist in the cathedral there. Pre- viously he was member of the Queens orchestra in London, After a few years in Quebec he was induced by friends to accept similar place in AL bany, N Y. About twenty years ago he accepted the appointment of organ ist of St. Tohr's Episcopal church ir Bridgeport and remained there six years. He then went to Stamford and played in several churches, finally re- moving to this city. He published many compositions, mainly of a relig- ious nature.
