Chess.

Some Of the games in the correspon-
dencr match OF the Pillsbury Chess Club
VS.. the BALTIC. City College Chess Club
are nearing finish Huf VS. Geyer and
Clohan VS. Hackett can both safely be
counted on as sure wins for the local team
while Woltereck VS. Yerick will be.won by
the Baltimore player. The best game Of
the series is that being contested between
Messrs. Baker and Stain. After twenty
seven moves on each side the position re-
mains even. Baker is cool, steady play
er who can always be depended upon to
play careful game. Geyer's promised
victory is quite credit to the youngest
member Of the team, and Bruce now
ranks as one Of the leading players iE the
club. The other games are still in a chaot-
ic condition, with the collegans having a
slight advantage on most OF the boards.

The reported rcdscovcry, after being
lost for more than 900 years, of letters
claimed to have passed between Christ
and King Agrippa, and to have been

made by Professor Ileberdey, who had
charge of the excavations there ON be
half of the Austrian government. lie
published the results of his work
some time ago in Vienna.
The fact that these alleged letters
between Christ and Agrippa were
used as Il charm 10y Christians in the
fifth century on their lintcls is estab-
llshed, but this would not prove that
such correspondence occurred. Ger
tain Syrian documents dated in the
year 200 n. D..tand giving almost the
same letters, have long been sus-
peeted of being 1ireFary forgeries The
discovery of he stone tends to relieve
this suspicion and makes it tolerably
certain that as early as the second
century news of Christ's miracles had
spread TO heather countries and that
he early Christians believed that
.Ngrippa asked Christ to come and
heal him and that Christ replied.
The alleged answer lis almost a
paraplrasc of much that is found in

actually sent or was the result of a
continuing tradition, transferring
from papyrus TO stone is a question

archacologists. Many points in Pro-
