All Problems must bo accompanied by the solution and name of the composer. F Phxladelthia Chess Club—Northeast corner ■of Thirteenth and Chestnut streets, Rooms open daily at 10 o’ clock. Answers to Correspondents. " G. H. M., Va.”—Very glad to hear from you. Hope you will be able to sendus some of the games referred to. Luwentbal’sißook of the Congress 'has not yet made its appearance. “ BusTieus.”—We cannot answer you better than by referring you to the Weekly Bulletin, which furnishes a large amount of Chesß matter for $1 per annum. “ Telegkam.”—There were to have been’ two games played, but, at the suggestion of the Now York players, the match waß decided by the first game. \ “M. J. H.”—We have written to you by mail in reply to your interesting letter. Errata.—ln Game No. 681, White’s 34th move should be P to KKt 4, instead of P to KKt 3, and his 36th move, Kt to K 3,-instead of P to K. Kt 4. The difference is quite material. Ladies* Chess Club.—The ancient rural suburb of Philadelphia; known as Germantown, is a most enterprising and spirited place. Chess Clubs, Whist Clubs, Music Clubs, Union Clubs, Field Hospital Clubs, Ac., are all the rage; in fact, Clubs are trumps. But at last has .come a novel sensation, and to the ladies of Germantown belongs the honor of establishing, bo far as our knowledge goes, the first Chess Club for ladies in America, if not in the world. The Ladies’ Chess Club was organizefflast week, with a dozen members, who are to meet weekly at the residences of the members. No gentlemen are admitted until the hour when their services as escorts are required. Several rules have been adopted, hitherto mi. known in Cheßs. No player is *to be considered mated unless she has first captured a Knight, and at the conclusion of every-game there mußt be left a Queen on each side of the table. Smoking, that in scparablefcature of all other Chess Clubs, is strictly prohibited. * We compliment the fair denizens of Germantown on their spirit in starting this novel enterprise, and wish them a great deal of pleasure and success in it. Our readers will probably remember the ar rival in New York, last fall, of Mr. George H. Mac kenzie, an English Chess player, who had acquired an excellent Chess reputation in London. Mr. Mac kenzie made most creditable scores tvith several of the strongest players in New York, and is now en gaged in the great game being played by our govern ment against the Southern rebels. We were glad to receive a letter from him this, week, dating from Virginia, and signing himself with the honorable title of “ Captain 10th Regiment U. S. C. T.” In referring, to his games with Mr. Lichtenhein; which have been a good deal quoted in New York, Captain Mackenzie says: “ Mr. Lichtenhein was bo much out of practice, that I look upon the result of the games played as no test at all of what he can do when in play.” A valuable hint, if they would but see it, to many Chesß players who build reputations upon chance successes, won from the carelessness or want of practice of superior playerß. “ This mode of play is the most dull and tedious imaginable.”—A'ew York Albion. What could have put it into Perrin’s skull To call our Chess match “ tedious and dull!” ’Twas not like Perrin, to he so invidious As thus to designate us “ dull and tedious.” But,he, ini play with us, haß twice been floored; No wonder then, that Perrin should be bored.
