the new headquarters Of the divan
will be available.
The new location downtown is ideal.
The game room is large and spacious
and well lighted and within the next
few days will be renovated along mod
ern lines.

No doubt the chess players Of
Washington are glad to see the con-
tinuance of the divan and much credit
for its social prominence can be
attributed to the unstinted efforts of
President Curran, Vice President
Meacham, Secretary Mabel McPher-
son and the flaming haired tartar,
Treasurer Norval Wigginton. Then.
too, there is a nucleus of fine players
who are loyalty backing and boosting
the divan to the limit.
With such teamwork the
divan is on its way toward
becoming the greatest single
force in Washington for the
Progress Of the royal game"
Membership on May will be prob
ably $l.25 per month, or special of

AS usual the game rooms will open
to the general public and any one may
use the game facilities for the custom
airy small cover charge OF 25 cents.
All moneys received will be invested
in better playing equipment and
toward increasing the growing library.

furious play.
Six years ago he played 200 grouped
around SO boards in the 7th Regimen,
Armory at Brooklyn, N. Y, winning
on 20 boards, drawing on 16 and drop
ping matches. 1t was q first-class
