<Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Lynn left Chicago this week and their removal to their new home at Dallas, Tex., where Mr. Lynn will be engaged in business, leave a distinct void in Chicago chess circles generally, and particularly so in the smaller coterie of Caissa's devotees in which they were the leading entertainers. Mrs. Lynn is well known as one of the strongest women players in the country, and Mr. Lynn, as a chess writer and enthusiastic promoter of events, local tournaments, and matches, or the engagements for match and exhibition play of globe trotting champions.> |

<Mrs. Frank W. Lynn of Chicago has forwarded a challenge to Mrs. S. R. Burgess of St. Louis, holder of the title for the woman's chess championship of the United States. Mrs. Burgess expressed her willingness last spring to play a match in October at her home.> |
