jects was forcibly borne in upon him
and that his subsequent reign was
marked by recognition of his obi
cations to the upholders of his realm.
Certain it is that the game calls into
exercise the traits which create SOL
diers and statesmen. It has had for
its votaries the famous of all ages.
Excellence in the game demands
concentration. fertility, invention; in
trepidity, GOODNESS, prudence ana tore
sight. A true chess player studies not
only the game but also his opponent
Hence the study of human nature en-
ters largely into its playing. Daring
against one. and caution in dealing
with another become policies. Expert
ence in the game develops shrewdness
and skill and practice soon covers
natural weaknesses with an impene-
tra BILE mask. 1t is no mere assertion
that the playing of chess is valuable
adjunct in the requirement of knowl-
edge. It is a delightful discipline of
all the faculties that are necessary to
scholarship.
The club. then, will include in its
mission instruction to those who are
DESTROYS of learning the game. An
earnest invitation is extended to the
students of the High School, Punahou.
ST. Louis College and Kamehameha
School to form classes for instruction
in chess. The moderate charge of so
cents per month for each pupil will
be exacted Arrangements can be made
for every evening during the week, and
competent instructors from the club
ranks have volunteered their services.
The same invitation is open to other
novices. and classes of ladies are also
solicited The We n a opc TFOn1Df
acceptance of this offer must be APP
parent. If a beginner would learn
the game let him learn it properly and
with the least waste of time. Two
novices can sit down and eventually
master the game but at the expense of
great loss of time. How many aimless
moves, how many purposeless plays
would they make? With judicious in
struction they would soon see that
every move has a purpose. that every
move is in the line of development.
One month of proper instruction will
secure better results than one year of
aim1ess playing.
At present a series of games are be-
ing played at the rooms by two ex-
perts, DR. Marshall and F. NJ Ballou.
One strongly contested gale has al
ready been placed to the credit of Mr..
Marshall The club halls his coming
to Honolulu as the initiation of re-
vival in the Modest OF games. He is
not only a fine player but he is also
an entertaining writer and it is hoped
his pen will be welded in the interest
of the club during his stay in the city
He enjoys acquaintance with the lead
ing players of the world and he has
an fnexhaustible fund of interesting
"reminiscences.
Applicants for membership in the
club or instruction in chess should APP
ply TO Clarence White or Sydney NJ.

QUALITY. NOT QUANTITY.

Tt is interesting to note the excel
lence of the views taken by Rice &
Perkins of the Floral Parade-instead
of attempting TO get prints "a the
market before the parade was over,
they gave Ethe time and attention
requisite to the making of perfect
negatives and the result is about
seventy-five pictures of great merit.
Mr.. Perkins states that it was not
necessary to take 1S2 shots to get them,
either.

DR.. Benjamin Marshall, the well
ent here on a visit. though now a Cali
fornian, is a native New Yorker, hav~
ing been born in the metropolis on
December %. $780, There he practiced
the United States service as a sur
geon in the Navy, serving throughout
the Civil War. Subsequently known
by his contributions of prose and
poetry to the press as a writer of abn-
fty He is the author of Silver Lining
series of short stories and poems, which
has been accorded favorable criticism.
He viii shortly publish a more preten-
tious novel entitled Adam Grue,"
somewhat after the style of David
Harum.'' In California DIR. Marshall
is recognized as the Nestor of chess,
and ranks among the best players of
the State. He advocates the organiza-
ton of an international chess aSsocia-
ton, of which the champion of the
world should always be president, with
each country represented entitled to a
vice president. Its object. in the main,
should, according to the doctor, be the
management of all matches for the
championship, the adoption of a uni
versal code of chess laws satisfactory
to all nations, and the settlement of
ambiguous points concerning which
many conflicting opinions at present
prevail For instance, there is a wide
divergence of sentiment as to the power
of pawn after it has entered the king
row and many there are who believe
a stale-mate should not be draw, but
counted a win for the player effecting
the block Such questions should all
be submitted for settlement to supreme
authorities. DR.. Marshall was present
during the st. Louis congress of last
year, and endeavored to agitate the
subject then, but the time did not seem
propitious for such a movement.

HUNTING IN THE PHILIPPINES

The Philippines are said to afford the
best hunting in the world. Ducks, deer.
wild boar, wild water buffalo and wild
chickens are plentiful, particularly
wild ducks and other water fowl.
You can not own a gun in the Philip
pines except under strict regulations.
and as a result the natives have no
guns, and the whites get all the hunt

THE CHESS CLUB.

The Honolulu Chess Club is now in
the third year of its existence. It's
membership is divided into two classes
regular and associate. The regular
members pay an initiation fee of s.
and monthly dues of 81. They have
an interest in the property of the club.
The associate members pay monthly
cues of 81 but are released from initi-
alton fees. They, therefore. enjoy all
the privileges of the club without par
ticipation in voting or ownership.
The regular members at present are

secretary and treasurer: Henry F.

The associate members are I. Noar
and r. L. Auerbach. The chess rooms
are on the second floor of the Young
Building on the King street side. DR..

time. has been accorded the privileges
of the club. but with the spirit of a

The investment in tables, chess men,

Peary Will Try Again.

The conclusion is drawn from the
latest of Peary's dispatches that the
intrepid explorer will try again. as he
states that the Roosevelt is coming
southwark for supplies and repairs.
Before starting in July 1905 he de-
finitely announced that this would be
his last dash for the pole. This he
stated publicly in his lecture in Au-
gusta and elsewhere, and the same
declaration was frequently made in
again it is probable that he will regard
it as simply a second part of this eX-
petition from which he is now return
ing, rather than as new expedition.
The truth Of it is that Peary cannot
resist the lure of that vast and frozen
eXpanse about the Pole. Having gone
nearer to the Pole this time than
mortal man ever trod before he is
more determined than ever to add the
browning triumph of discovering the
Pole To the proud distinction of
