Washington Chess and Whist Club
In line with the broad policy I'm chess
matters which inspired the Washington $
birthday tourney, and made IT an open
event, the Washington Chess and Whist
Club has established Junior member
ship branch, which will undou btedly be
a tremendous factor in bringing Wash
ington up to the chess level upon which
it should rest. This Junior member
ship is particularly designed for the
large student body in the universities
colleges, high and preparatory schools
of the District. These students for the
most part, are not able to pay the regular
dues Of a club, and are thus deprived OF
a chance to learn the finer points of the
game at the time of life when the mind
is most receptive. Hence il Is that the
few first-class chess players in this city
have come here after they had attained
their skill elsewhere. We are going to
have a chess school and produce our
own experts. In other cities the high
school leagues are big factor in chess.
and turn out many fine players: over
half OF the last team to come to this city
from Philadelphia, was composed OF
these Junior" players.
All players under the age Of twenty -one
who wish to join this Junior member
ship Of the Washington Chess and Whist
Club" should communicate with DR. W.
III. Merrill. secretary and treasurer. GA

NEW ENTERPRISE
MAY LOCATE HERE

Failure of the auditors who are
making up statement of the bust
ness of Malsby, Shipp & Co., to
complete their report in time,
caused a postponement of the meet

slider the company's plans for locat-
ing buggy factory in Marietta. A
number of the city's prominent bus
mess men were present, but it was
decided to hold another meeting
next Tuesday might when the
auditors report would be available.
Mr.. Tasker Camp, of Marietta, is
one of the officers of the concern,
and if enough local capital can
be interested, a buggy factory will
be located here.
Malsby, Shipp & Co., is a mail
order house and has sold more than
th1ee thousand buggies since their
organization three years ago.
