first, but the best he could do was one

NEW YORK, January 99.--Protesting
on behalf of Columbia. Harvard. Yale
and Princeton, w ~ Woodbury., captain
of Yale's chess team, has written to
Professor Isaac l.. Rice president of the
Triangular College Chess League and
donor OF the international intercollegiate
trophy. for the possession of which the
league has challenged Oxford and Cam

stance that under clause of the deed OF
gift, published In one of the American
chess magazines year ago, the control
of the matches for this trophy was vest
ed permanently in Columbia, Harvard,
Yale and Princeton. irrespective OF who
else might challenge for the emblem.
Professor Rice. however, has vindi-
Gated Brown, Cornell and Pennsylvania,
the three universities composing the
Triangular League. by stating that the
articles of the deed of gift. as published.
had not been authorized by him. and
that he would not finally determine
upon the regulations until all the
American and English universities in
terested In the trophy had had a voice
in framing them. This he hopes to ac-
complish at meeting with the Oxford
and Cambridge representatives during
his next trip abroad.
Professor Rice will, at any rate. not
countenance the management of the
matches by universities that have not
challenged for or arranged them. In the
meantime the cabled acceptance of the
challenge has been confirmed by letter
by Oxford and Cambridge both of which
institutions profess delight over the pros
pect of having the series revived. The
dates thus fixed are March "a and 81.
Eut a determined effort will he made

Linton Will Not Challenge.

LONDON. Jan. 2a.-The Observer states
in an.artlcle to-day that 1t Is Improbable
that Mylne will design cup challenger
for Sir Thomas Upton. "Mylne would
have done so. says the article, "hud the
challenger been class boat under the
new American rule. 1t is not known
however that the New York Club will
hedge behind deed Gift and refuse to dis
cuss the subject until definite and
formal challange has been issued. 1t was
considered possibility that the New
York club would have discussed Lipton's
project, but an American representative
who has been in London for the past
fortnight places beyond all doubt the posi-
tlon of the American club.
Fife is also said to be unwilling to be
associated with another race under old
conditions, and In view of this, nothing
can be definitely settled now. Indeed, the
matter may not be heard OF again.
