NEW CUP YACHT POSSIBLE.
Prince of Wales Building a Boat to
Bent Shamrock III.

A special to the Boston Herald from Glas-
cow, Scotland, says that with the mixing
up Of two cutter yachts one was much
bothered for the few weeks back as to
which was Sir Thomas Liptons challenger.
The mystery has been solved, and 1t can
now be stated that the new big cutter sup
posed TO be for the German emperor is for
the no less distinguished person the Prince
of Wales. This important piece Of news
will cause an immense amount of interest,
for it is known that the prince wants to
help Sir Thomas out in every way, and ne
will do all that he can in the direction of
aiding Sir Thomas in lifting the Americas
cup.
When Lord Dunraven refused to fit out
the Valkyrie III, as a trial horse for the
Shamrock /. his royal highness soon after
put the Britannia in commission, and ne
had her raced against the Upton chai-
lenger. What the outcome will be should
the Prince Of Wales new ship beat what
is now intended to be the Shamrock II, is
a matter of much conjecture, but swap
could be made, as either cutter will surely
come within the terms of the conditions of
the match, as agreed upon for next August.
So, in case the royal yacht should prove
the faster one, 1t would be easy matter
to name her the Shamrock II.
So much mystery and secrecy has sur
rounded Henderson's yard at Glasgow for
over a month that all the information which
came out of 1t was of a most doubtful
nature. 1t can now be stated that the Prince
of Wales cutter will be built there, prob
ably Of composite construction, while the
rev challenger will be built of metal plat
ing in Denny's yard. Dunbarton. Lest there
should be an error in the dimensions Of the
Prince of Wales yacht, positive instruc-
tions have been given to Watson as to the
size Of the vessel, 1t being specified and
agreed to that Watson shall build to chal-
lengers size, so to give the new chal-
lenger the best trial horse for her tuning up
sailing 1t may be that the princes yacht
will cross to this side with the new cut
ter for the blue ribbon event of sports
Whether she will be named the Britannia
II or the Shamrock II will be known after
the pair have had II out in hard racing
Sir Thomas and a number of experts re-
Gently had the model and plans of the
Shamrock I compared with those of tbs
now supposed-to-be Shamrock II. and the
experts were strongly of the opinion that
either Of the new Watson cutters was min
utes faster than the Shamrock I, and fur
ther the tests in the tanks at Denny's
yard proved this conclusively. The Prince
Of Wales boat will have very long over
hangs, and she is different In design from
the Shamrock II, being more Of the Amer
ican wide. shallow. ballast I'm type
The Prince Of Wales will come to the

Two Knights Defense.

(a) 1t Is this move instead Of B-QB4 that forms
the opening called the two knights game, open
ing which the reader VIII find very fully examined
in the German Handbuch.
OBJ The move OF kt-KKt5 formerly recon-
mended for the first player at this point. Modern
analysis shows, however, that the attack is haz-
ardous and superficial. The following Is the line
Of play now adopted when the knight IL played
to his fifth: 4, Kt-Kkt5, P-Q4; s. PIP Kt-QR4;
g. B--Qkt5 teh). P-QB3; 7, PxP, PxP. 8. Q-kB3

Qkt into speedy action.
I'D The command Black has Of the kings rocks

(e) This is also well played.
~ To give freedom to his knight, which at pres
ent has escape.
70 The Oncoming of this second knight renders
Whites game hopeless.
th) He had two three other modes Of play but
none which could long ward OF the impending final
blow.
ID This attempt to divert the attack might have
succeeded against less wary and experienced op-
a good position TO give 1t up while he can
possibly maint tain his ground.
Qk) BY this move White gains a short-liyei at
tack, but he has not force enough to sustain it
long.
ID Better. perhaps, to have played K-Bs in
which case the following variation was a probable
one: AZ k-B3, K-B6 eh.; A XXX KIP: AZ

but the visit is unlikely, as for state rea-

would hardly be able to leave the country

Sir Thomas. however hopes that the
prince may find favorable opportunity Of

royalty taken such an interest. With his

IN CHESS CIRCLES.

The leading players Of Germany and Aus
tria have organized a Masters Chess Union,
intended to be international and embrace
the strictly frst-class players of the world,
for the purpose of designating the competi-
tors of international matches. etc.
Pnlsbury has notified the management Of
the Monte Carlo international tourney that
he will not be able to work his engage
ments in this country so to participate
In that contest. AS Lasker and Maroczy,
now touring together, are also handicapped
in the same way, it is possible a postpone
ment may yet take place, although the au-
thorities are trying to hold it down to- the
date set, February 1. The amount set
apart for prizes, 2oooo francs, Is to be dl-
minished by 5000 francs prizes for a
salta tourney, leaving but little above
50, 800 in our money for the chess competi-
tors-a very paltry amount divided up into
even few prizes.
Pillsbury gave his blindfold seance against
the New York Checker Club under unto
ward circumstances. The rooms were mad
equate for the crowd that piled in, crowd
ing the single player and contestants; those
who couldn't get near enough to see what
was going on occupied the lower end OF the
hall, engaged IN games on their own ac-
count in a noisy manner, and to crown the
confusion and noise band q lower
floor set itself to work vigorously Pills
bury won two, lost four and drew the re-
mainder.
In the twentieth century correspondence
tourney the lists have come up to ia con-
teStants from the west and 105 from the
east. More are wanted, especially from
the east, as it was intended to make this
record breaker with $50 players a side.
A correspondence tourney on novel lines
has just closed in Vienna. The contestants
were unknown to each other until its close.
Zinkl took first prize. Tschigorin was 50
pleased with it that he is organizing Rus
sian tourney on the same plan. Marco, the
noted Austrian player. Is its author.
The championship Of the Boston club is
being contested for by E. E. Southard.
This peculiar game comes from the late
Bohemian tourney. TraXler plays white
against Samanek. In every move in the
game Black plays precisely the same move
as his opponent: 1, P-K4; 2, Kt-KB3; 3,
Kt-R3; 4, B-Kt5; S. Castles; 6, Pos; T.
BxKt; s. BxP; 9, BxR: 10, B-Kt5; II,

The examples Of the Two knights De-
Tense this week hinge on Whites fourth
| move. The variation POT, is chosen, the
strongest line of play at his disposal. 1t
does not give won game by any means,
mistakes in and leaves room for a very
vigorous attack.

Six more days of horse racing and then
the Benning meeting will end. So far the
meeting has been unusually successful ana
the prospects are that this condlton Will
continue to the end. The program for this
week has been especially framed SO that
all horses can secure some money. Ihis
will bring out runners Of good quality and
some that are poor But the racing will not
be one-sided, however. and close contests
should be the order Of the day.
There will be general exodus OF horse
men next Saturday to New Orleans and
San Francisco, although many Will prob
ably stay to witness the Inauguration OF
the Chesapeake Beach track, the opening
of which has created considerable interest
among the followers Of the runners.
