As the active playing season hears it's close, one wonders wheth- CT or not anything worth while has been accomplished in chess since the season opened last Octo- ber. Only the other day, one of the city's strongest players was heard make the statement that never in all his life, had he played so much chess in one season, as he did during the one just closing, and feel frank in saying that with two large clubs operating in city like ours, more has been done for the good of the game in Waterbury than in any other city in the state. l feel rather proud of the fact that happened to be chosen by the membership as president of one of them.
 Both clubs boast of strong teams, and again. this year as last, we find the Waterbury Y. M. c. A. Chess club as winners of the Southern Section Intercity team tournament, entering the playoff with the winners of the Northern Section, the Hartford Chess club, for the state team championship. President N. A. Cornell of the "Y" Club, as we'll as his team captain, Fred Strong deserve lot of credit for the manner in which they have
 brought their team through two years in succession.
 Bellome "Champ"
 In individual play, premier hon. ors go to N. R. Bellome, Water- bury Chess Club star, who not only won the city championship for 1885 but also finished in tie with B. Clareus of Hartford for the 1885 state championship, in tourna- ment replete with thrills and up- sets. The tie is being played off in 8 series of games, and all Wa terbury is behind Mir Bellome in his effort to bring the state title to Waterbury. Incidently, this title has not been outside of Hartford ! since 1881.
 High schools throughout the state have also caught the fever, and in Hartford, Brgdieport, and Chester many fine teams have been | organized. Not to be outdone Wa terbury has taken the field with a team at Crosby High school, head
 ed by the youthful star, Alfred
 Green, which can give any of them a. run for their money. The Crosby
 team played three matches during

to bear in the interest Of peace the
weight Of this country's moral infiu-
ence as a cosponsor and signatory of
the pact Of Paris. The failure Of the
world effort to preserve peace, how
ever, placed us before new situation.
War had become q reaHty-the fire
had broken out. Faced with this fact.
1t became encumbent on me to give
first thought to the unqueStioned
mandate of our people, expressed in
recent legislation and in numerous
other ways, through the press,
through public gatherings and through
petitions and letters, that, above all,
the United States should not be
drawn into the conflict. But while
shaping our Nations policies to the
purpose Of banning the fire from its
shores, did not for one moment lose
sight of the truth that the best guar
antee against such a calamity would
be the Srnothering of the fire itself
Hence, the measures that the Govern
ment has successfully adopted have
served the two-fold object of keeping
us out Of war and of confining and
shortening hostilities.

tinuing closely to follow every develop
ment abroad, shall have steadily be-
fore me that dual purpose have at
