Introduction
The championship tourney now in daily progress at the rooms of the Brooklyn Chess Club, over the Post Office, is attracting considerable attention among the members of the club, and the contests are watched with interest afternoons and evenings. Up to March 10 twenty-one games had been won and lost and six had been drawn. (1)
Synopsis
The Brooklyn chess club's championship tourney has been decreased in interest somewhat by the retirement of Mr. Densmore, who won all of his games in the first round, but who went to Europe after losing a game to Mr. Elwell in the second round. Mr. Orr, too, has retired from the tourney since the first round. (2)
