This club played matches ovrr the table and by corruspond- enco with Harvard, Columbia, and other colleges in the east, and in these tournaments Judge Kirkham always played at No. 1 table.

 The newspapers conducted tour naments In those days, and the New York Sun ran big one which drew entries from all over the eastern part Of the United States The late William Middlemass of this city en- tered the lists. being assisted by Judge Kirkham and Will Fowler Of Berlin. These three spent many long evenings planning out their moves, which were recorded by mail, and, although they were stacked up against the best that the big clubs in New York could offer, they succeeded in winning first prize.
 The Hartford chess club merged with the Republican club and the chess element has gradually dis appeared, as has enthusiasm for the game. It is still played to a limited extent, according to Judge Kirkham, but the heyday of this complicated pastime appears to be past.
