THE PITTSBTTBCr DISPATCH, SATURDAY, JULY 4 1891 9 te j& OTBOY Held Up as a Most Captivating and Heiatliy Intfaver. YELLOW THE-COLOR fOE WEDDDvGS Somo-Hints-ibout Bathing Dressesfor the Present -Season. CHAT-AND-GOSSIP FOE FAIR WOMAN' A writer in the Detroit Ires Fnss takes up the cudgels somewhat -rigorously for the tomboy, or rather the woman who has been a tomboy. She declares that "the tomboy, whom most women recoil from "with little gtiTifl-c of horror, becomes the woman whose presence is a delight to men; whose joyous health and bubbling spirits and unconquer able cheerfulness brighten ier world to the farthest horizon. She is not only an inspir ing; companion, but a Hying, breathing, glorious incarnation of Gesuadheit a most DeneScieut tonic To look upon her is to feel the highest beauty of living, and to be much in her society is to yield unto her the approval and admiration that are so dear to the average woman. "When sensible men meet a grown up tombov and take involun tary note of her royal mein, her elastic tread, her lithe movements, her relish of free air and of beefsteak, they lay at her feet their royal admiration." Let ns have more tomboys. Yellow appears .to be the ruling color at weddings thus far 'this season, says the Xew York Evening -7W. Primrose crepe de Chine dresses, with trimmings of pink em broidered chifion, dressed one group of bridemaids. Spmish yellow faile toilets, trimmed with lace flounce, bertha and col lar, with white lilac boquets, were the pretty attire of a second party of bridemaids. The sweet-pea tints were adopted sever ally by three other maids at ajpretty wed ding in a country church. The maid of honor wore white crepe de Chine, the sec ond pink and the third a lovely tint of pinkish lilac Among the guests at a very fashionable city wedding was a lady from Texas, who appeared in a demi-train gown of golden-yellow satin, duchess-embroidered on the corsage, and deep cuffs with pearls and silks in various shades of mauve. The garniture was not applied, but wrought di rectly on the satin. An odd but elegantly made French dress was of peach-blow satin, with trimmings of palest blue velvet, and a ciel-blue corded silk was mingled with reseda velvet and fine gold passementerie. A gray silk cos tume, trimmed with gray pearl and gold passementeries, was au artistic masterpiece. There was a beautiful French bonnet en suite, and gray suede gloves and shoes com pleted a most chaste and becoming toilet. The fair Saxon beauty of the wearer, how ever, had no little to do with the notable success of this particular costume. The bride wore an entire dress of lace over a trained princess slip of white satin. All the bridemaids were in white, and the flowers carried were white carnations and white roses, surrounded with tender green ferns. Bathing dresses will show this season a nee of a figured woolen fabric on which either stripes of dark on light grounds or large spots will be displayed. A cream with blue spots, an olive i ith pastilles, and a dark blue with small anchors will be among the:e. Around the waist a broad girdle of wash-silk will be tied, with white cotton fringe in balls. This is opened widely, so as to support the waist. The 6leeves are half-long or quite short, and the top of some bathing dresses is cut out in a round or pointed shape, while in others it has a flat yatching collar, trimmed with rows of white cotton braid, or simply bound. Some bathing dresses are made with a straight, loose, divided skirt, in a new shape, called the Spanish, and which is slashed on the outside of the skirt near the knee, which it extends somewhat below, and re sembles the "trunks" worn on the stage by Spanish cavaliers. Other suits show the loose, commodious Turkish sliape, w hich has an clastic below the knee, and bags loosely over it. In some examples there is an undivided skirt, made short, or extending somewhat below the knee, and trimmed with rows of braid. Some skirts are made slightlv full, and suits having this skirt usually have a loose, broad belt of the fabric, trimmed with braid, aud having a large buckle made of braid. An American woman, who is a well known practical housekeeper herself, says : "If housekeepers would only take the hint given by a well-known hotel man they would have less trouble with sen ants, and much of the sen ant trouble would be avoided. Hotel men have no trouble in get ting all the help they want, though they offer only moderate wages. The difference is not so much in the i ork as in the house. In a private house the girl's labors are from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof, and even past the twilight. If the girl happens to be bright and accomplishes Tier wort, venturing to sit down alter her heavy toil, the mistress often objects. How, in a Hotel this is all different a girl has cer taiu well defined duties to perform, and after they are done, as a rufe, her time is all her ov, n. If some such arrangement could be recognized in private houses the servant problem would be simplified and adjusted amicably." There is a decided change in the art of hair dressing. Everything inclines to airi ness, aud allthe heaviness is banished com pletely. The present fashion in hair dress ing allows the parting to be seen. Fringes are to give way to a certain extent The hair is not to lie worn plain, but curled on Ovj'er side of the parting, beingcarried back In ui. far crown of the head. These waved Kiiiilruux ajvimilatp well with the favorite Gr-cian styie, but the back of the hair is atiil drifted high, and is likely to be so as lone as the high collars and runs keep in loshion. A pretty coiffure is the Etagere, which is cuuipowl of four or five horizontal rows of roiled curls filling up the interstice at the back of the head; the ''fairy fringe," which can be worn with this, falls in soft curls and forms a point in the center of the foreheaiL It accords equally well with Grcoiau knots and twists replaced by a Imneh of curls, and both are frequently sur rounded by a silver jeweled, gold or silver bandeau. Stockings are-important as far as good dressing is concerned, and London hosiery firms have brought out an excellent kind, which cannot fail tp wear. These new btockingi are called the "incased heels and toes," which means that not only aro these double heels and toes, but the sole of the foot is dpuble also. Embroidered fronts are still worn, and these sometimes take the form of embroidered stripes reaching to the top of the stocking, and they fiid favor with ruauy royal ladies, including the Duchcfcj ot Mechlcnburg and others. Silk an.d lisle thread are equally well worn, but for god strong wear nothing equals tho ribbed make, esptcially in balbriggan, and all these teveral kindof stocking are made with open work carried to the top. A very piclty introduction are the alternate stripes of black aud color, such as pink, in the open-work horizontal stripes, proving a suc cess, with diamonds introduced upon them; and soaw. of the new colored stockings have a Anpet p-iltem, some ai spotted and some worked Mith a sort of daisy. Stockings are nq'" embroiusred in aU colors to match dies-its sm! silk, lisle thread and balbrig tiu ai.c thu uratci TI.lv ?.ea.o,i i!i U-irlinr' linr.ii (ViWe , ! ?i," W ?US!US U I wrc cucc bo fashionable. There is nothing which makes so comfortable a gown.and they cau be made up simply or diessily as the occasion requires. The new designs arc yeryhuUstio and the colorings are ia all the THE felSKY fashionable shades. A white ground with a delicate green vine oyer it, made with full skirt, has a full flounce of white lace caught in festoons at the bottom with bow knots of gros grain ribbons. A full frill of narrower face is arranged in a point in the bodice, and another about the hips. Nothing in a gown can be cooler or daintier. The brass bedstead steadily grows in favor for handsome and healthful ' furnishing. A beautiful bedchamber recently done was decorated in sunshiny pink if pink of a soft, mellow shade may be so designated carpet and walls and ceiling. The brass bedstead was canopied with pink cretonne to match the furniture coverings. All the woodwork of the room and furniture was of ebony, with brass mountings. Another room was done exactly like this, with tho exception of substituting beautifully painted white wood for the ebony. The effect of either of these two exquisite rooms, with their dainty knicknacks and hundred and one trifles dear to the feminine heart, can be imagined by tho artistic mind.

Little 4-yer-old George Altsman, of "Wil kins street, "Woods' Eun, was badly bitten by a large Newfoundland dog with which he and other boys were playing. The boy placed his arms around the animal's neck and was playing with it, as be had frequent ly done before. The other youngsters poked the dog with sticks. The IS ewfoundland be came savage and attacked young Altsman, biting his ears and nose and inflicting sev eral shocking wounds. The lad's cries attracted help and he was rescued. Drs. Shaw and McCarnell found it necessary to burn his wounds with acid, and the little fellow suffered terribly. Two officers, who fired seven shots at the dog, failed to kill it, and they finished him with their deadly clubs. The boy is not out of danger. Miss Mary Behers, of 180 Martin alley, was attacked by two dogs on Thursday af ternoon while walking across South Four teenth street bridge. She was alone and could not drive off the brutes, which jumped upon her, biting her on the arms and ankles. She was attended by doctors, who declared her wounds not necessarily ser ious.

The defendant sat nervously tugging at his beard. In an swer to the Court's inquiry: "Have you agreed upon a verdict?" Clerk Hunter said: "We, a jury, find the defendant guity of murder in the first degree." There was no apparent motion on the part of ICing caused by this announcement, but he sat gazing steadfastly into the faces ofthe jury, preserving the same calm indifference that has characterized his Rearing through out the trial.

From the Times-Democrat. to We are indebted to that chivalrous veteran of Gallic chess, Mr. J. Arnous de Riviere, of Paris, France (through Mr. Charles A. Mau rlan, of Now Orleans, now on a visit to the French capital), for the score and notes of the following fine game contested between Paul Morphy and himself, and given to the world for the first time in Mr. de Riviere's column in tho Revue des Jeux, of May 15, 1891. "We have already given, last year," says Mr. do Riviere, "ono of those unpublished games, for which the chess world is eager when they emanate from a Morphy. How does it hap pen that we havo so lopg preserved these precious treasures in our portfolio? Wo really cannot give any reason for it. But our readers may be absolutely certain that we are furnishing thorn with an authentic docu ment, and, to dispel all doubts, they have but to attentively study the text, which we havo so much pleasure In putting into their hands."

(a) Whether Blaok, at his fifth move, re tire the B to Q R or to Q B 4, White has nothing better than immediate castling. (b) After numerous analyses, play has re turned to this classic variation. 9 B to Q Kt 2 has boin played, as also 9 R to K. (c) If 9 Kt to Q R 4, White has to choose between 10 P to Q 5, 10 B to Kt 5 fell), 10 B to Q 3 or K 2, etc. (d) Stronger than 10 Q to Q R 4. (e) Also the coup juste, and, as one may see, the neotheoreticians will do well to con sult the archives this being said for the benefit of those among them who conceive that they have discovered the master varia tions ofthe openings. (f) It is not advantageous to take the Q Kt e.g.;HBxKt, PxB; 12 P to K 5, BxKt; 13 Px: BPxP: llBto K3 (ch), Kt toK2; ISPxP, QxQ; 16 RxQ, K to K, and black stands bet tor.

Will ie take the Kt, and If he retire the B, what square will he adopt? (1) We would play the same again to-day. The retreat to Q 2 would havo augmented the constraint of his position. (J) This B is stationed where he can have full scope of action, (kl The logical sequence of events leads up to this movo, and It would seem that black, who has tho advantage of a pawn, ought to be ablo to relieve himself from tho attack. (1) But here is the first false step, we be lieve. 14 P to Q R 4 was of more avail. (m) And at once Morphy spots the vulner able point. (n) An excellent station to establish a bat tery. (o) Instead of locking up his Q R, why not have pushed P to Q 4, seeking to bring bis inactive pieces into play? (p) How admirably the young master dis plays his ability to bring nil of his forces into the battle, and yet to precipitate noth ing. Game3 played by him aro from this standpoint full of practical instruction. (q) With an eye to P to Q B 4, next move, "(r) Black la strongly barricaded; it is diffi cult to break In. For example, could he but manage to push PtoQRS, his gamo would at once become the superior, because the Pawns on the Q's flank would maneuver in consort, banked up by tho"Kts, without its being possible to force the game by an at tack on the K. The move played by Morphy is. Indeed, a stroke of his clairvoyant genius. (s) After all, was this what should have been played? (t) Exceedingly vigorous and exact. (u) Not satisfactory, but he was already In some difficulty, anil, moreover, danger threatened on nil sides. (v) The entrance of this Kt is practically fatal for the second plover. (w) 21 K to B 2 yields bome interesting variations.

Mercury, ii'osmon jio. u. Dispatch. It has been pronounced by com petent authorities to be one of the most difficult problems whtoh has appeared for years. On its first appearance, ft will be re membered, we offered as a small recogni tion, a copy of "Dunne's Guide" to the solver who first posted us the correct solution: and this had the effect of exciting a little Interest among a class to whom tho scientific nicety of the problem really appealed tho ex perts. As was announced, each attempt re sulted in failure, and wo then offered half a guinea to the player who first sent in" tho required moves. Foremost came the analy sis of Mr. Dunne, of Warrington, who touched on the essential points, though ho Intimated that his figures were not in competition. Following him came the analysis of Mr. E. Clark (Liverpool), whose moves contained all that could be deemed necessary; but at the same time we are bound to say the play received later from Dr. T.J.Brown (Bootle) not only covered the ground traversed byMessrs.lunne andClark, but also dealt with the problem In a manner which excited the admiration of the author, Mr. Martins. Still, as Mr. Clark was accurate in every particular and indicated tho points essential to the solution, we were bound to decide in his favor, seeing that he preceded the doctor by one day. Accordingly a check for half a guinea has been forwarded to Mr. E. Clark, 63 Walton lane, Liverpool. We have also instructed Mr. Dunne to send an autograph copy of his "Guide" for Dr. Brown's acceptance. The subjoined figures show tho manner of solving the problem. Continue above game after 5-9. 28-J1 117 B wins The essential moves. (a) Playing thus prevents black king get ting to the relief of his men via squaro 31, because if he make the attempt white simply pins him by 1823. (b) The expert may easily observe that this is the best delense. Black must evi dently be pinned to the side unless he ndw attempts to run the gauntlet. (c) In itself this is not a bad problem. (d) He may vary here. In the first place: 14-18 1 22-17 18-22 15-18 22-23 I 11-7 I W wins And secondly: 27-31 117 31-27 7-3 27-31 13-71 31-27 7-11 Wwlns Let tho problem be set again as it original ly stood. The undernoted figures show Dr. Brown's win on what may be termed the minor defenses: 10-15 32-27 18-15C 27-23 d 18-27 23-32 20-J6 9-14 15-18 17-31 15-18 a 1 6 b 16-11 14-17 27-23 10-15 9-14 I 117 I 28-24 10-14 19-24 15 20-16 14-17 I 2-7 17-21 18-23 1519 69 23-26 1 2420 26-30 24-29 28-32 18-11 I -2-28 7-10 24-19 22-18 19-23 918 72 20-24 1418 W.Wins Revert again to the point 89 at end of above game and continue: 10-15 20-16 117 22-17 27 149 28-32 27-24 19-16 11-18 16-19 15-18 16-11 72 17-14 710 White 32-27 24-19 16-11 9-13 13-17 wins. Correspondents to the number of 102 at tempted the solution by at once crowning the man 20-16, 16-11, 11-7, 7-2 and the beauty of the problem lies in the fact that it can not be solved in this, the most plausible way. Of the more painstaking writers, es- Iiecial mention must be made of Morgan Ihys (Swansea), and G. Whitney (North ampton), whose solutions, as well as many others, exhibit an amount of labor which half a guinea could not adequately reward. It will be sufficient if we take Mr. Whitney's figures and point out the error. He proceods: 20-18 117 10-14 17-21 25-30 26-23 28-32 27-31 31-26 23-19 15-10 59 16-11 7-2 14-17 21-23 30-28 2J-26 32-27 9-13 26-23 19-15 1-5 So far, he has probably made the best -possible defense, but now he continues 914, whereas, according to Mr. Martins, 106 must draw. Mention must also be made of the course pursued by J. P. Grey (Durham), W. Ash worth (Patrioroftl, and M. Gastin Bendin, of Vendome, Loir et Cher, France. Eaoh errs at the same juncture. They proceed: 22-18. 28-32, 18-15, 32-27. 15-11, 27-23, 11-7 and (overlook that 15 followed by 2318 will draw. SOLUTION TO PROBLEM NO. 61. BY J. O. Sl'CBEERY. Black-12. 22, 25, 28.

Mr. Wyllie arrived in London, from Mel. bourne, on Monday last. He is in good health and spirits, and in u note says he thinks be plays draughts as well, If not better, than oefore his lengthened tour throughout Aus tralia and New Zealand. He was surprised to learn of the claim made and sustained to have his deposit declared forfeit because he was not in Chicago by April 1 to play Reed: the more so that no date to commence play was fixed in the articles: and adds, signifi cantly, that it is very doubtful if he will now pay the slightest attention to a chal lenge from any American to play a match in the States. In doing this, WylUe, we think, would act wisely. He should let tbo younger aspirants come to this country; and, be lie Freeman, Reed, or Barker, the "Herd Lad die" will be prepared to meet either or all, Glasgow Herald. The above shows Just Mr. Wyllle's 'posi tion, and we think his course tbe most dig nified that could have been adopted. He ignores the would-be world's champions, and if they are to have tbe honor, they will have to go to him. The following letter to the Leeds Mercury from New York shows if the American draughts players were to give their opinion, nine-tenths would ba just the same as the N ew York correspondent to the above Journal: 'Dunlap went wrong about the money Eosted In his hands. The claim for the money y Reed's backers (not Reed) was made to bring about an amicable decision regarding what the articles lacked, viz., tho date when the match should bo played. Dunlap's deci sion was wrong, as it gave Mr. Wyllie no no tice or hearing, uuiiiap naa no ground whatever for giving up WyUIe'a money. Reed was the challenger, and had posted $100, which Wyllie had covered. Reed had not yet posted his second installment for Wyllie to cover; so that Wyllie was not de linquent in any shape or form. We are sorry tho match has been broken off by Dunlap's Incomnetentbandllncof the matter, and it is a general wish on this side of tho water that negotiations may bo renewed." The. great team match will be played this afternoon at the Home Hotel, botween Eighth and Ninth streets. Duquesne way, when the best players of "estcni Pennsyl vania will again try to defeat their brethren of the two cities. The greatest attraction will bo in the evening, when the strongest players of tho visitors will play James P. Reed, champion of America, Mr. Reed as a blindfold player has no equal in the world, and to all lovers of the game of checkers it will be a great sight to see Mr. Heed play ing against six or eight of the strongest players at ono time without seeing any of their boards, and it is not improbable but he will defeat them all. His visit will be for a few days, and all interested in the game should not lose this opportunity of getting acquainted with America's greatest player. CHECKER GOSSIP. The informant of Life was again off his base. Ferguson did not play Mr. Karr on that dato mentioned, but played him the following day and tbe score was: Karr, 0; Ferguson, 4; drawn, a We have a little al lowance for the editor at this time, owing to bis having a dlnlcultproblom on hand that of choosing a wife. The date of the happy event has not yet been fixed. We wish him much happiness. Harry Lindsay, in his latest contribution to draughts, is away off when he states that James P. Reed was only a local oxpert when he played James Wylllo, champion of the world. He was champion of oar State, and had played for the American championship and had been defeated. And again the old man's memory has failed him. Mr. Wyllio did not charge 1 cent to play a game. He played all comers gratis, and ail the remun eration Mr. Wyllie received was Ills hotel faro, and Mr. need gave him $10 on leaving nnd tho aged champion was well satisfied. We think Mr. Lindsay's letter at this time and Its whole tenor out of place. It would have been mora to his credit had it never been written, is the expressed opin ion of his warmest friends. H. F. McAtcer's latest move was a very im- Eortant Jump to a much higher position In ia office on July 1 and a corresponding rise in salary. We trust such fine strokes may come often. R. W.
