The tourney of the Minnesota State Chess Association is a thing of the past. It occurred on Washington's birthday, and was eminently successful. There were 13 entrants, and the prize winners were George B. Spencer, Minneapolis, first; F. A. Hill, St. Paul, second. Consolation prizes were won by J. W. Lee and Dr. F. A. Huxmann, Minneapolis. It was the first annual meeting and created a great deal of interest among the home players.
