Progress of State Match.

The first two games between E. P. Elliott,
present Wearer of the state championship but
, ton, and the editor Of The Jour na !
column, in the challenge match for state
honors, were played at the Minneapolis Chess
Club, 529 Boston block, last Monday evening
Both games came me t our way for which
GRAFTON of our generous rival. We fear,
however, lest In the third game, which is
to be played at the same place one week from
Monday evening, April 81, he may be moved
to reconsider his charitable program and
substitute one of hammer-and-tongs There
is special ground for this in the fact that
three wins decide the match. u
Last Monday evenings play was a double
bill not down on the posters Only one
game was scheduled to be played. When Mr.
Elliott lost the first game at S:45 in the eve
ming, after little over an hours play, he
was so little satisfied with the result that he
thought the spectators, II not himself, were
entitled to another CO. So the second game

In justice to Mr.. Elliott's play. however.
it must be said that he undoubtedly was not

extra labor which has devolved upon him dur

that work will be completed and he will have
received several days rest as preparation
for a hard-fought and Enthusiastically Wig

means a foregone conclusion, and we would

the first evenings result.
DR.. A. r. Bigelow, the st. Paul chess cham
| pion, as we'll as DR.. F. A. Huxmann, the Min
neapolis veteran, have both announced their
| intention to challenge the winner of the
match. But J. w. Clark, of this city, who
recently won the Minneapolis Club champion
ship, has stolen a march and posted his chal-

the winner. Mr. Clark held the champion
ship during. part Of the season two years
ago, when he beat w. e. Hill, of St. Paul.
in challenge match Mr.. Clark has good
all-round knowledge of the game and puts

make any opponent earn his honors.

SINGER OF PROMISE
Miss Ada Won Boos Now Touring
the Southwest.
GREAT THINGS ARE PREDICTED
Already Called "The Swedish Night
inGale"-Refore Public Only
Short Time.

Miss Ada Won Boos, who Is touring the
Southwest under the stage name OF Ada
Arnoldson, Is usually heralded as the
Swedish nightingale, and her most enthu-
siastic admirers predict that some day
she will stand with Jenny Lind and Chris
tine Nilsson as the third Swedish night
dngale. This may be premature be-
stowal of honors, but the young singer
wins the most cordial approval every
where and never fails to establish herself
as a favorite.
She has been before the public only a
few months, since Aug. 5. last, to be ex-
act. She is native Of Stockholm and a
relative of Sigrid Arnoldson, the famous
Swedish contralto, whose name she uses
professionally on that account. Strange
ly enough, her family has been closely
associated with Jenny Lind and Christine
Nilsson. Miss Arnoldson's grandmother,
Mime. Hilda Won Boos, who Is still alive.
was an intimate friend of Jenny Lind and
Is credited with being the discoyerer OF
. Christine Nilsson. 1t was at the Var
Aamo fair that Madame Won Boos heard
& girl II years old singing most Won
derful song while an old peasant,-her
3ather-accompanied on the violin. The
child was soon placed under proper tut
tion and in time became the most
famous singer of the day-Christine
Nilsson.
Aua ArnOldSOn 1atner was JOnn
Matthias Won Boos.
Her fathers father was OBJ noble rank
( IN the German empire and held a generals
commission in the Napoleonic wars. Her
mothers maiden name was Wilhelmina
Berglund. On her mothers side her
grandfather, Gustaf Berglund, was the
attendant to Queen Josephine, wife of Os-
oar l. Of Sweden. His wife was the
Duchess Jablonske of Poland. Their
home was Rosendale castle, or to Angli-
cize it, 1.-The Castle of Roses" near Stock
holm. They were wealthy people and
people of high rank in their native land,
but through the fortunes of war and bust
ness reverses the father lost the bulk OF
his estates and when he died in 1894 the
mother and daughter were left with but
comparatively little Of this worlds goods
They came to this country, as many
others Of all nations have done, under
such circumstances. They made their
home in New York, which, in fact, is still
their home. The child, Ada, was placed
under the tuition Of Professor Bjorkston,
s who was formerly the protege OF Christine
!. Nilsson, as Christine Nilsson had been the
!, protege of Nine. Won Boos, the child S
grandmother. The little girl, however
had begun her study OF music in her
: native land, under Professor Julius Guen-
ter, famous as an instructor In the Royal
Academy of Music at Stockholm.

ehe chances that have set the Aladdins and

eyes. When in May Of 1912 the Princess
Louise Of Hesse- Cassel married her first
cousin, Prince Christian Of Schleswig-Hol-

handsome young captain In the Royal
horse Guards, of royal blood and high

which meant the strictest economy to
