In Chess Circles

IT M. PHILLIPS, chairman of the
Committee of the United States
International Chess Team, writes I'M
der date of July 90 that the COM
mittee has undertaken to pay all of
the expenses to Warsaw and return,
and in addition to giving each player
$50 for spending money, and that
their board and lodging will be taken
care of by the Polish Federation.
He states that up to the present
time the total amount collected is
S719; that there is a considerable
deficit and contributions would be
very welcome if forwarded to 2
Layette street, New York City.
The Brooklyn Eagle states in a
recent issue that Chairman Phillips
has given instruction that the sched-
ule of games of the United States
team with the 19 other countries be
divided as equally as possible among
the five players of whom only four can
participate in any match"
The Star of July 90, 1893, stated,
with reference to the international
team tournaments: Two years ago
a rule was adopted to prevent jockey
ing and the shifting of players, in
order to win points; that team must
at the beginning of the tournament
enter its players in the order of their
strength, and they always must play
in that order. Should a player not
appear, the other player will move
up, so that the reserve player will
always be at board f." This rule
will have to be applied in carrying out
Chairman Phillips instructions.

Burkemo learned how, and how not,
to play golf by observing older players
whose clubs he carried.
Last year, with a borrowed outfit,
he entered tournament competition.
Six weeks ago a friend gave him his
first set of clubs and the following
week end he went to the emi-finalS

Work Of the state highway de-

lined in its biennial report Just
issued, includes the following:

451 miles, paving 1874 miles; paving
base, 127 miles; shouldering, 148
miles; new bridges, "a bridges

mated, q; dangerous center piers
eliminated in underpasses, -; In
1885, the report says, 1t Is hoped
to eliminate all remaining center
piers on the trunk system.
Official mileage Of the system,
by types, is shown as follows: To-
tai system, 1880 miles, which 10
made up Of 1855 miles Of concrete
paving, 101 miles Of bituminous
pavement, 3,0s6 miles Of bitumin-
Gus treated gravel, 1870 miles Of
untreated gravel, "a miles Of grad
ed dirt road and 872 miles Of I'M
graded dirt road. A considerable
portion of the graveled roads, the
report says, hardly comes up to
that classification because the
crawling is so light and Is on in
ferior grades or foundations.
Much of this type of road was adj
ded to the system in the 1884 ex-
pansion.
Owing to federal regulations
governing most Of the highway
construction Of the past biennium,
the work was broken into many
small projects widely scattered
over the state. This was done as
an employment measure and re-
suited in providing more jobs.
