The contestants are divided into two classes. Sixteen players have entered their names for the grand tournament, and eighteen for the minor. There is every probability that the play will begin in the course of next week, and we hope that in our next issue, we shall be able to record the names of the winners in the first section of both tournaments. In order that the tournament may not be unnecessarily prolonged, it is desirable that the contestants be very punctual on the days appointed for play. We have no doubt that under the very able management of the Committee appointed to superintend the play, the tournament will prove a lively and successful affair. [(1)] <Rules and Regulations> [(1)] For the Chess Tournaments, issued by the Committee of Management. 1. The Tournaments are to be played at the New Orleans Chess Club. 2. The playing will begin on Monday the 20th inst. 3. The hours of play shall be from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m. 4. The games are to be played in accordance with the Code of Chess Rules, published in Staunton's Chess-Player's Hand Book, with the exception mentioned in the following paragraph, and all disputed points referred either to Mr. Isaac T. Hart or Mr. F. Michinard, who are appointed umpires by the Committee. 5. Drawn games are not to be counted, but the first move changes with every game, whether drawn or not. 6. The method of play will be as follows: The Committee pair off by lot the sixteen players of the first class, and the eight players first winning three games are to be declared victors in this first section of the Tournament, and the eight losers excluded from all further share in the contest. The eight winners are then to be paired off by lot as before, the four first winners of three games declared victors in this second section of the Tournament, and the four losers excluded from all further share in the contest. The four winners are entitled to the four prizes; to determine the order in which the prizes shall be distrusted, the four prize bearers will then be paired off and have to play as before. The two winners in this third section of the Tournament shall then play for the first and second, and the two losers for the third and fourth prizes, the first winners of three games being entitled to the first and third, the losers to the second and fourth prizes. 7. The result of every game is to be reported to Mr. John Tanner, Secretary of the Committee of Management, or to Mr. C. Lagarde, Assistant Secretary of the Chess Club. 8. Any player not attending the play for four successive days is considered to have abandoned the match, and will not be permitted to enter the lists again. 9. Every player of the Tournaments must consider himself bound by all regulations issued by the Committee of Management. 10. As any restrictions, viz: to play at certain hours or days, the payment of fees for non-attendance, etc., would be incompatible with the regular business of most of the players, the Committee, in this respect, have to rely on the good will of the players and amicable understanding between the competitors; but wishing to bring both Tournaments to a quick and satisfactory conclusion, the undersigned beg leave to express the hope that every player will attend the play as regularly and often as possible.    F.

Tickets, £1 1s., wine included, to be had of the Secretary, or of the Stewards. It is earnestly requested that early application be made for tickets. The Council draw attention to the fact that, although sums of money are in the programme attached to the several competitions, they earnestly suggest that the competitors should in a Chess contest take their prizes in kind, as the sums named are rather intended as indicating the limit of the liability of the prize giver than as money rewards. This does not refer to the Chess Tournament, as the Council are aware that considerable expense may be incurred by the competitors from the country and otherwise. Rules. 1. Entries will close on Friday, June 12. Subject to the direction of the Council, entry may be allowed after such period, if satisfactory reasons be furnished.

For years past the majority of chess players have admitted the desirability of associating the amateurs of each State under a central organization as the true method for obtaining the maximum of enjoyment from the game, by means of mutual acquaintance, social reunions and tournaments of such importance as could not fail to be both highly exciting and instructive. To accomplish this the Boston Chess Club recently issued a circular to the chess public offering the use of its rooms on Pemberton square, and requesting delegates from the minor clubs in the State to assemble there on Fast day and consider the advisability of forming a permanent organization. In response to this invitation a large number of favorable communications were received from prominent clubs and players, and when the meeting was called to order at 11:30 a.m. yesterday, some forty amateurs, representing most of the principal chess organizations in the State, were in attendance. The meeting organized with Mr. Hasseltine of Melrose in the chair, and Captain E. S. Huntington of the chess club as acting secretary. Captain Huntington made the opening address, stating the object of the meeting, and dwelling upon the great benefit to be derived from the contemplated measure. Dr. W. L. Faxon of Quincy, Judge Fox of Taunton, Messrs. Woodward of Fitchburg and Farham of Uxbridge heartily indorsed the remarks of the secretary, and the meeting, by vote, express itself as unanimously in favor of a State association. On motion of Mr. J. B. Goodrich of Newtown, the chair appointed Messrs. Fox, Woodward and Alden a committee on permanent organization and instructed them to prepare and submit a plan of constitution and bylaws. On motion of Mr. J. E. Tibbitts (sic), the chair appointed Messrs. Harlow, Sargent and Goodrich a committee to nominate officers for the ensuing year. While these committees were deliberating, Captain Huntington, on behalf of Dr. Horace Richardson of Boston, presented to the association a handsome chess table and set of chess men to be awarded as a prize to the victor in the tournament of the afternoon and evening. At 12:40 p.m. the committee on constitution and bylaws asked leave to report, and Judge Fox as chairman presented the following consitution of the Massachusetts Chess Association. 1. This organization shall be known as the Massachusetts Chess Association. 2. The object of this association is to promote the general interests of the game of chess in this State. 3. The officers of this association shall consist of a president, five vice-presidents, a secretary and treasurer and an executive committee of seven, which shall include the president and secretary. 4. The executive committee shall have the entire management of the affairs of the association. 5. This constitution may be amended at any regular meeting or at a special meeting called for that purpose. The report of the committee was accepted, and the articles of the constitution, being severally put on their passage, were unanimously adopted. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Dr. Horace Richardson, Hotel Berkeley, Boston. Vice-presidents, Preston Ware, Jr., 310 Columbus avenue, Boston; William C. Paine, 46 Mt. Vernon street, Boston; Dr. Z. B. Adams, Framingham; Judge William L. Fox of Taunton; Frederick F. Woodward of Fitchburg. Secretary and treasurer, Captain Edward S. Huntington of Quincy; executive committee, Dr. W. L. Faxon of Quincy, C. B. Snow of William Claflin, Coburn & Co., Boston; J. E. Tibbets (sic), Boston; E. S. Farham of Uxbridge, W. H. Howe of Cambridge, and the president and secretary [[ex officio]]. Dr. Pollock of Boston nominated from the floor Mr. Preston Ware, Jr., of Boston, for president of the association, which motion was seconded by Mr. C. B. Snow. On proceeding to ballot the report of the committee was adopted and the nominees declared elected. Dr. Richardson, on taking the chair, expressed his appreciation of the honour of being elected the first president of the association, and concluded with a brief dessertion (sic) on the game, in which "mates," "checks" and a genuine invitation to dinner were humorously commingled. After a short session of the executive committee to perfect arrangements for the tournament, Captain Huntington extended the hospitalities of the club in the form of the first grand banquet of the Massachusetts Chess Association. For an hour or so, salutations, congratulations and long and deep wishes for "many returns of the day" were in order. When the popping of corks had ceased and fragrant La Volkmanns had restored something like tranquillity, the minds of the assembled "chessers" reverted to the final and decisive feature of the day—the knightly tournament. The first tourney of the association was necessarily of an informal character and partook more of the nature of a social chess soirée than a struggle of champions. Nevertheless, several of the out-of-town representatives made very creditable showings, particularly Mr. Weston, delegate from the Uxbridge Chess Club, who, after defeating two antagonists and drawing with Mr. Harlow, one of the finest players in the country, was unfortunately compelled, by the lateness of the hour, to withdraw from the tourney. The tournament opened with a general mêlée, in which twenty-three players entered.
