the form Of policy for which they have
a preference to I. r. Burns, the local

will give simultaneous. exhibition at the
rooms of the Washington Chess and Check

the deyotees of the game are invited. Ad-
mission to the rooms will be free.
The players of the Chess Club are ar
ranging for the winter tourney. The entry
list will be posted in afew days.
In view of the low financial condition of
the club and the necessity for some I'M
proven3ents to the rooms, it has been de-
cided that the club will notfhe in condition
to make date with Pllsbary on his pres
ent tour. This is quite disappointment to

The New Orleans Times-Democrat, in the
following extract from much fuller para
graph, makes claim to bringing Mr.. A. W.
Fox's extraordinary chess performances be
fore the public. THE Times-Democrat
about five months since was the first to in
troduce to the public on a wide scale Mr.
A. W. Fox. etc" Referring to Mr.. Napier 8
disavowal in the Pittsburg Dispatch of the
myth theory (that Mr.. Fox was mythical
person), it says: ''Of course, had our es-
teemed contemporary, who used the various
games mentioned, given their sources as
from this column, we may say we hope we
shall be pardoned the vanity of believing
that NO question as to their genuineness
and authenticity would have arisen
The credit for giving Mr.. Fox's games to
the public for the first time lies with The
Star which. in this column, in July, 1900,
gave the first two games of that gentleman
ever published The first was against Bauer
and was an extraordinary mate. The note
of the American Chess World. which copied
the game to the sacrifice of the queen was
that it was the most audacious move on
record. The second game was against Mr.
Walker of this city, who has wide reputa
ton as an extra strong player, and was
very pretty win.
The following are examples in the Evans
Gambit. The first is an interesting game,

PETER AREIARD. BY Joseph McCabe author
OF Twelve Years IN a Monastery etc. New
York: G. P. Putnam's Sons Washington:
Woodward & Lothrop.
The story of the scholar-priest has been
confused with romance and tradition until
1t Is today not as clear as a satisfactory
understanding would wish. Abelard and
Heloise are pictured in fiction in one guise,
in controversial essays in another. These
are perhaps the extremes of favor and dis
favor. Father McCabe has sought to Learn,
the exact truth concerning this remark
able man, the keenest thinker and the bold
est theologian of the twelfth century. TAX
ing Abelards own account of himself as
basis he traces this life through its
early. easy successes, its mastering love
and its Sufferings. He pictures incidentally
the life of the period, with its license, its
lncipient tendencies toward culture its
tyranny and its ecclesiastical narrowness
His account of Abelard is vivid in por-
trayal of the scholar, the priest and the
man. 1t acquits him of many accusations
affecting his purposes and his moral nature
1t reveals the scholar carried away by mis-
aroused egotism and Justify fed by success
over the established teachers of the time
as woman, a scholar and a religionist,
as nearly in natural portraiture as the
lapse of time and the confusion Of tradi-
tiops and records will permit. The work is
instructive. 1t does not lack in dramatic
interest.

Notes of the Turf.


The grand circuit races closed at Terre
Haute, Ind, yesterday and for the frs,
time In many years no sensational records
were hung up The program for the week
was the most attractive ever presented
but the weather kept the attendance down
Yesterday there was bleak raw wind, but
the full program of events was carried out
and those who attenued were well enter
tained. No sensational time was made. bat
the finishes in all heats were close and ex-
citing.
The only surprise in an otherwise feat
ureless program at the Harlem track near
Chicago yesterday was in the fourth event
when Constellator, the fayorite, finished
last and the Conqueror, an outsider, crossed
the wire an easy winner. The superior
work OF Cobun, who had the mount on
Mountebank, asserted itself in the second
race in a brilliant flash from third place.
The work of the starter in the third race
at the st. Louis fair grounds yesterday
brought much criticism from the crowd.
He sent the field off in two divisions with
Soundly, the first choice, considerably in
the lead She opened up a big gap, which
she maintained to the end, winning by half
a dozen lengths The other horses had no
chance to win. AS Soundly was prohibi-
tive favorite, the crowd went to the other
horses, and the ring won heavily on the
race. Three favorites, one second choice
and two outsiders won.
