Counties Chess Association.
(Preliminary Programme.)

The next Meeting will take place (by kind permission of the Mayor) at the Guildhall, Bath, commencing at 7 p.m., on Monday, July 28th, 1884.

Class I. (Division 1.) Open to British Amateurs (on subscription of £1 1s.) who have previously won the first prize at any of the Meetings of the Association, or who, in the opinion of the Committee, have otherwise eminently distinguished themselves as Chess-players. First prize, £12. Second prize, £5. There may be other prizes if more than six competitors.

Class I. (Division 2.) Open to British Amateurs not qualified as above, but too strong for Class II, on subscription of £1 1s. First prize, £10. Second prize, £4. Other prizes may be given if more than six competitors.

⁂ In both divisions of Class I. there will be a time-limit of 20 moves to the hour.

Class II. Open to British Amateurs (on subscription of 10. 6d.) not strong enough for Class I. First prize, £7. Second prize, £3. Other prizes may be given if more than six competitors.

Class III. Specially intended for, but not confined to, local amateurs who are not strong enough for Class II. Entrance fee, 5s.

The Rev. J. Greene has liberally given £2 2s. for Class II., and £3 3s. for Class III. for Prizes and Consolation Prizes to be apportioned in somewhat small sums according to the discretion of the Committee. The £3 3s. for prizes are specially for local players of Clifton, Bristol and Bath. Other prizes will be dependent on the number of entries, and amount of general subscriptions.

Handicap Tourney. Open to all comers, at an entrance fee of 5s. First prize, £5 5s. (kindly given by F. H. Lewis, Esq.) Other prizes dependent on funds received.

The Committee further hope to be in a position to offer Consolation Prizes to unsuccessful competitors in Classes I. and II., such prizes to be regulated by the scores which they have made with the Prize-winners, in the same manner as in the London International Tourney of last year.

The Final Programme, containing also the names of the Officers, together with the Rules of play, will shortly be published.

All entries, accompanied by subscriptions or entrance fees, must be sent on or before Friday, July 18th, 1884, to the Rev. A. B. Skipworth, Tetford, Horncastle.

A. B. Skipworth,
Hon. Sec. and Treasurer.
June 17th, 1884.
