Introduction
The annual championship tournament of the club will be under way before long, and a keen competition for the title now held by Fox is assured. Among those who will play are A. W. Fox, C. S. Howell, C. Curt, A. J. Souweine, G. J. Schwietzer, C. A. Lawrence, H. M. Barrett, E. W. Libaire, H. Zirn, W. Southwick and A. E. Swaffield. (1)

The championship tournament was started with thirteen entries on Friday, the field being the strongest that has ompeted for the honor in some years. The competitors are A. W. Fox, the present champion; C. S. Howell, A. J. Souweine, H. Zirn, C. Curt, G. J. Schweitzer, H. M. Barrett, C. A. Lawrence, E. W. Libaire, J. D. Elwell, A. E. Swaffield, W. Southwick and H. L. Dickerson. (2)

Play in the championship will begin tonight. C. H. Howell, playing out of the schedule during the past week, defeated W. Southwick in this contest, after a hard battle, which lasted forty moves. (3)

Three players are striving mightily to secure the championship of the Brooklyn Chess Club in the pending tournament for that honor. The leading scores are C. S. Howell, 7 to 1; G. J. Schwietzer, 5½ to ½; A. W. Fox (champion) 5 to 1. (4)

C. S. Howell bids fair to secure the championship of the Brooklyn Chess Club in the annual tournament now pending. G. J. Schwietzer, his nearest opponent, has withdraw on account of sickness, while champion A. W. Fox has lost games to A. J. Souweine and E. W. Libaire and drawn with W. Southwick in a game that lasted 111 moves. (5)

C. S. Howell has succeeded in attaining his ambition of winning first prize in the annual championship tournament of the Brooklyn Chess Club, among his defeated rivals for the honor of club champion being ex-champion A. W. Fox, one of the competitors at Cambridge Springs. The new champion emerged from the ordeal without the loss of a game and fully earned his title in every sense of the word. (6)

Notice has been served on the players in the championship tournament at the Brooklyn Chess Club, that they must finish their schedules by April 22. This step has been taken because in the opinion of the managers of the contest it has been dragging along at too slow a pace. (7)

C. S. Howell, of the American cable match team, has won the championship of the Brooklyn Chess Club, his final score in the tournament being 10½ wins to 1½ defeats. A. W. Fox was second with a score of 8½ to 3½. Third place still remains open, inasmuch as several players have yet to finish their schedules. (8)

All the games in the annual championship tournament of the Brooklyn Chess Club, with the exception of one, have been played to a conclusion. The exception is the one between Champion Howell and Harry Zirn, which the former claimed by default. Zirn protested, however, as he asserted that no date had been properly scheduled. As Howell has left town for vacation, it is not likely that it will be played. Howell's position, of course, was assured without it. (9)

Note
Some sources score the Howell vs. Zirn game as unplayed whereas other sources indicate Howell finished with a score of 10½ which seems to indicate his win by default over Zirn was upheld.
