IN CHESS CIRCLES.

The skittle tourney of the local club was
opened yesterday by Messrs. F. B. Walker
and L. LETTERS Mr.. Walker won both his
games, yet considering the heavy weight
of his opponent, Mr.. LETTERS put up a stout
fight.
Some time since Mr. Mundele put up
humorous challenge to any in his class,
or who thinks he is in my Glass; to have
a small match. Mr.. letters accepted the
challenge, and during the last two weeks it
has been played off, Mr.. LETTERS winning
five to four
1t is matter of regret to the chess play
ers on this side of the ocean that Marshall
is doing SO poorly at Monte Carlo The
conclusion seems to be forced that he is
not a good tourney player; that he Is an
in-and-outer. With Ssuch record as he
made two years ago at the London minor,
where he came through with nearly clean
sheet and last year at the masters tour
ney at Paris and what he has done at this
tourney, when meeting the upper class of
players-drawing twice with Schecter and
Tschigorin and once with Gunsberg and
Marco showing that he Is not outclassed-
1t is certainly disappointing that he is not
first or very close to it in this affair, which
is certainly not first-class one. With his
record before US, we must conclude that
the defect is moral. There are Players, IT
Is well known among the craft, who sit

Harold Money of Oakland, N. j., a men,

City, Long Island, and the youngest son of
Captain A w. Money, the veteran trap
shooter, won the amateur pigeon shooting
championship of America from a field OF
seventeen contestants at the Carteret Gun
Clubs grounds on Long Island yesterday,
with a score of lightweight kills out of a
possible 100. Col. Thomas Martin of Bluff
ton, s. c.. and Harry S. Kirkover of Buff
falo. N Y, tied for second honors with
eighty-seven kills each, and DR.. Frank c.
Wilson of Savannah Ga, and C. A. Painter
of Pittsburg tied for fourth place, with
eighty-siX kills each.
Money was well to the front from the
start of the contest Thursday morning, and
toward the end of the shoot yesterday at
ternoon he made some remarkable kills

teur shooters he proved that it was not by

decided a miss and out handicap at $40

Dan Bradley, who was on a similar mark,

fellow at the finish of the event. Money
killed seventeen, while McAlpin ran second
with sixteen, and Bradley third with f1f-
teen. The closeness of the scores at the
finish of the principal event made the on
lockers very much excited. KirkoVer
shooting from the beginning was OF the
most promising order but he had bad
streak Thursday until he discovered that
he had been dipping his gun. Afterward he
improved somewhat. Col Martin of Bluff

day, and both men passed Wilson of Sa-

the end of the first days shoot. Z. A
Painter of Pittsburg was also in fine form
in the latter half of the match, and got
into a streak of killing. He made the best

South Carolina to the chair to preside in
his absence. Mr.. Talbert has frequently
interrupted the pension legislation, but yes
terday he smiled grimly when the Speaker
disarmed him by putting him in the chair,
and he entered into his work with a great
deal of zest. Among the bills passed was
the Senate bill to pension the widow Of
Gen. Henry w. Lawton, who was
killed In the Philippines. The House cut
the pension from 500 down to $50 upon the
representation that Mrs. Lawton enjoyed
a comfortable income.

1t is indorsed both by the religious
