History

——————————————————————————————————————————
An enthusiastic meeting of chess players from various parts of the state met at the rooms of the St. Paul Chess, Checkers and Whist club in the Globe building last evening. Their purpose was to organize a state chess association. Grier M. Orr was chosen temporary chairman and F. A. Hill temporary secretary. A constitution was adopted and a permanent organization effected.

The officers elected are: President, Dr. A. T. Bigelow, of St. Paul; first vice-president, Dr. F. A. Huxman, of Minneapolis; second vice president, J. W. Clark, of Benson; third vice president, Dr. M. B. Cullum, of Duluth; secretary, F. A. Hall (sic; Hill), of St. Paul; Treasurer, George Sommers, Jr., of St. Paul; advisory board, J. T. Jewett (sic; J. I. Jellett) and Emmett Hamilton, of St. Paul; Capt. C. W. Brow, of Minneapolis.

Stated meetings will be held on February 22 of each year. Any chess player of the state, whether a member of a club or not, is eligible for membership.
