Introduction
The Manhattan Chess Club is organizing two Handicaps for the coming season on a similar plan to that adopted in the City of London Chess Club. The players will be divided in five classes, and each class will form a section in which the competitors will play on even terms in two rounds. The first and second best of each class will be entitled to play in the final pool of one round for the three prizes. (1)

About four more games remain to be played to complete the first round in the second fall handicap tournament at the Manhattan Chess Club. Twenty-five players are engaged in the contest. Major Hanham leads with seven games won out of a possible eight. Other prominent scores are: Ryan, 6; Ford, 6; Squier, 6; Delmar, 4½; Filch, 4½; Yeaton, 4; Schieffelin, 4; H. Rosenfeld, 4; Le Vino, 4; and Dahl, 4. Clapp with three games won, has still two to play, and Scheiffelin the same number. (2)
