Introduction
Counties' Chess Association.—The next meeting will take place, by the kind permission of the Principal and Council, at King's College, London, during the week commencing 29th July 1878.
Membership Qualification.—All bonâ fide British Amateurs may become members of this Association, and compete in its tourneys, on payment of a subscription of not less than 10s 6d, but for Class I. a subscription of at least 21s is necessary. Each competitor must deposit with the Honorary Secretary, in addition to his entrance subscription, the sum of 10s 6d, from which will be deducted any fines which he may incur, but which will be returned to him after the meeting, if he has rendered himself liable to no such penalty.
Class I.—Open to all Members of the Association. The amount of the prizes will depend in each case on the entries and subscriptions, but the First Prize will be of the value of at least Ten Pounds; the Second, Five Pounds; the Third Three Pounds; the Fourth, Two Pounds.
A Challenge Prize will be given to the player who first wins three times the Association's First Prize in Class I., guaranteed to value Twenty-five Pounds, to be raised to Forty Pounds, funds permitting; the winner to give the value of the Annual Class Prize towards the funds for a new Challenge Prize.
This Prize is open only to those who have no won a Challenge Prize under the same conditions. (1)
