Remarkable Game of Chess.

A game of chess under extraordi.
nary conditions was played day or
two ago at a fashionable London club
by some ultra-smart men. SiXty-four
squares were chalked out upon a
billiard table, and the pieces were
represented by bottles containing
wines Of various qualities. Cham
pagne was the king, claret the queen,
Burgundy the bishops. port the cas-
ties, Madeira the knights, while pint
TASKS of common Hungarian vintages
stood for the humble but effective
pawns. The most remarkable of the
rules laid down for observance was
that which rendered it obligatory
upon every player making move to
empty his piece at a draught Faith
full compliance with this ordinance,
however, was found upon experiment
to interfere somewhat prematurely
with the progress of the game, for
by the time the opening moves had
been executed upon strictly Bacchana-
liam principles tie players were under
the table.

reports from the shakhe River, the Rus-

else to take steps to conform with the
provisions of the law.
In most of the cases that have been
brought to the attention of the committee
the offending parties have either with
drawn their plans and taken in their
signs or else they have undergone the
State examination to obtain a license, or
have obtained the necessary authority BY
a compliance with other provisions of the
act by which man may secure a hcense
If, however, no attention is paid to this
formal notice, more drastic measures are
resorted to. The act declares that the
architect or other person who is guilty
of practicing architecture without first
obtaining license is guilty of misde-
meanor, punishable by a fine Of not less
than $50 and not more than $500 for
each offense or Imprisonment in the
county jail for period Of not less than
one month. On the strength of that
penalty the COMMITTEES is prepared to pro-
eeed eriminally against all offenders.
While nearly every person so far noti-
fed has agreed TO conform TO the act,
seven or eight violstors paid ne atfen-
tion to the formal notice. In these cases
warrants were sworn out for their arrest
and the offenders were hailed before
court and held in bail for the action of
the Grand Jury. But no case so far has
gone any farther than that, for whom il
was seen that the committee was in earn
est in the matter each of the offenders
backed down aud agreed to do as the law
directs.
A case of local interest is that OF tbs
chapter against Mr.. Breitenbueher, Of tie
firm of Bower & Breitenbuehar, the ar
ehitects whose plans for the new public
school TO be erected in Harrison were ac-

over to Mr.. Van ARK. chairman Of the
