Introduction
Prize consisting of the works of Professor Ruskin, Vice-President of the B.C.A, with his autograph inscription, to be competed for by gentlemen connected with Art, Science, and Literature. (1)

Synopsis
Ruskin Prize.—Present scores:—H. Jacobs, won 7 games; D. G. Mills, 6½; J. T. Minchin, 5½; W. Bayliss, 5; W. Mackenson, Q.C., 2; Rev. G. A. Macdonnell, 2; W. M. Gattie, 1½; R. Rabson, ½; L. Sergeant, ½; D. M. Salter, ½. (2)

In the Ruskin Tourney Jacobs has the best score with seven victories, but Bayliss has won five games and has still two to play, so that it is possible that a tie may result in this contest also. These competitions will be concluded at the British Chess Club. (3)

Conclusion
The Ruskin competition game to a close on Saturday, at the British Chess Club, when Mr. D. M. Salter beat Mr. Wyke Bayliss. The prize, therefore, falls to Mr. Herbert Jacobs. (4)
