History

——————————————————————————————————————————
Sociability.—The Brooklyn Institute, which is the centre of sociability in this city, has established a room for conversation, where the subscribers (which now amount to near four hundred,) will find a large room well lighted and warmed every evening. The chess-club numbers enough to keep three or four tables occupied.

We are requested to say that the Brooklyn Chess Club will meet in their room in the Institute, on Saturday evening, Dec. 29th, for the purpose of organizing for the coming season. Members and others are invited to be present.

Chess.—A club is organizing, (or has organized) in this city, for improvement in the intellectual game of chess. We believe it meets at the Brooklyn Institute.
