CHESS IN HARRISBURG.—a.B we men tioned last week, M. G. Reichhelm paid a visit to the Harrisburg Chess Club, on the 24;th ult., which proved so pleasant that his stay at the Capital was prolonged to the end of the week. During this time he met with the most cordial reception on the part of the Harrisburg gentlemen, and availed himself of the opportunity to Cross swords with their leading players. His score of even games, during his visit, was as follows: Reichbelm 8 Kn0x........ ..... Drawn ....._.. 1 Reichhelm 6 ernicksharas 0 Drawn u . . . . ....

Drawn, 1 We are glan to be able forepart the Harris burg Club in a prosperous and active condi dition, and that Chess amateurs mayalways look for a warm welcome at their Rooms. Mr. Montgomery, who was expected to join Mr. Reichhelm, did not arrive. Messrs. Montgomery, Marache and Reichhelm have baft• the distinction of honorary membership conferred upon them by this Club. .CErEss LEXICOGRAPHY. —ln Johnson's Dictionary, we find some curious Chess definitions, The Rook is defined in the early folio editions as " a mean man at Chess," and in the later editions as "a com mon man at Chess." The Knight and Bishop are not honored with any definition at all. There are several remarkable things in the usually correct I‘r. Johnsbn's inaccu racy on this point. The Rook, until it was superseded by the increased powers of the Queen, was the most powerful piece on the board, and it is hard to imagine how the great lexicographer got the idea that it was a "mean" or "common" piece. , Philidor was playing in London when Johnson pub lished his first edition, and when he revised the second, third and fourth editions, the fame of Philidor was world-wide. Chess had attracted great attention in England, and Philidor had published his treatise on the games. The Scotch Gambit, which might have excited Dr. Johnson's ire and contempt for the game that could produce anything Scotch, had not yet been invented, so that we are cut off from that theory. But the most singular part of this neglect of our favorite bishops and knights is that the defi nition of Rook,such as it is, is illustrated by a quotation from Dryden, in which they are both mentioned, and which runs thus : " So have I seen a King on Chess, His Books and Knights withdrawn, His Queen and Bishops in distress, Shifting about, grow less and less, With here aad there a pawn." —Dryden's Sbnar CHESS MILITANT. - The French Ohes world has lately had itself convulsed with an un-civil war over the extraordinary re sults of the Palamede Problem Tournament, and now a breeze has sprung up in London of an equally lively character. Strangely enough the dispute, in this case, turns upon the question whether the British Chess As sociation exists or not! Mr. Medley, "Hon. Secretary" of the "body," on which this coroner's inquest is being held, comes out with a card in which he declares that the body was alive in 1862 ; that he attended its funeral, at which Lord Lyttelton was its chief mourner: that the body then and there resolved to be immortal; that, "owing to circumstances," it has not shown any signs of life since, but that it means to come to life, some of these fine days. To this "medley' Mr. Staunton puts in a rejoinder, which leaves the Honorable Secretary hors du combat. Mr. Staunton very sensibly doubts the vitality of a body that professes to have lived three years and a half without any sub sistence. Never a subscriber, and never a shilling to keep the poor thing alive all this dreary long time. He flatly contradicts and his contradiction is endorsed by Mr. Wormald, that the Association ever declared itself en permanence, and he knocks any remaining breath out of Mr. Medley by quoting Lord Lyttelton's own denial of his assertions. We think the final verdict of the jury •'ll be, "Death from starvation and neglec • Served him right." [From Le Sphinx.] Problem No. 418. BY NB. HOLDIBB.
