<History>
——————————————————————————————————————————
A meeting of the Executive Committee took place on Oct. 15, at the British Chess Club, to discuss the preliminaries of the forthcoming National Congress. The Rev. W. Wayte was in the chair, and present were: Capt. A. S. Beaumont, the Hon. J. C. St. Clair, Lieut.-Col. G H. Verney, Mr. W. Wyllys Mackeson, Q.C., Mr. R. Rabson, Mr. A. H. Reeves, and Mr. Hoffer, Hon. Sec. The offer of Capt. Beaumont of £50 towards the funds, under the condition that the Masters' Tournament be played according to the Sonneborn-Berger system, was accepted. Mr. Hoffer was authorised to draw up the programme for the forthcoming National Congress of the B.C.A., which was to be discussed at the next meeting of the Council, on the following Monday, when the date of the Congress was to be fixed. At the next meeting of the Committee the programme was adopted, and the date fixed for the commencement of the Masters' Tournament for Nov. 18. This early date having been chosen upon a request of Capt. Beaumont, the generous donor of the £50 towards the funds of the B.C.A.
Rumors having come to hand that the Hon. Sec. was instrumental in hastening the fixture of the commencement of the Congress in order to give Mr. Gunsberg and Capt. Mackenzie, who were to sail for Havanna (sic), a chance of participating, we take this opportunity to contradict this statement, which was spread about by an eminent master on his tour in the provinces. The fact is, Capt. Beaumont had to undergo an operation of his eyes, which would confine him to the house for several weeks, and he intended to postpone the operation in order to witness, at least, part of the play. The Committee unanimously resolved to give Capt. Beaumont the requested opportunity, and the statement of the eminent master is an invention of his own fertile imagination, which could be more advantageously bestowed upon his Chess.
The following is the programme of the National Congress of the B.C.A.:
National Chess Congress of the B.C.A., London, 1889. The Congress to be held at the British Chess Club, to commence on Thursday, November 7th, and to conclude on Wednesday, November 19th.
Programme.
1. National Masters' Tournament.—Open only to masters of the B.C.A., those who have previously played in a Masters' Tournament, or those who shall have obtained permission to enter from the Committee. Entrance Fee, £2. Deposit, £2.
£50 given by Captain A. S. Beaumont, together with the total of the Entrance Fees, and a sum added by the B.C.A., conditional upon the number of Entries, will be divided, according to the Sonneborn-Berger system, amongst the competitors.
2. Amateur Championship Tournament, for the Newnes B.C.A. Challenge Cup, to commence on Thursday, November 21st. Open to amateurs, members* of the B.C.A. Entrance Fee, £1; Deposit, £1 10s. (the amateur champion for the year to be exempt from entrance fee and deposit).
First Prize: The B.C.A. Challenge Cup and a champion's badge.
The amount of the entrance fees, £1 each, will be supplemented by an equal amount by the B.C.A. The total to be divided as in the Masters' Tournament.
3. Ruskin Competition.—The Prize consisting of one of the works of Professor Ruskin, Vice-President of the B.C.A., with his autograph inscription.
The Banquet of the B.C.A. will take place upon a date to be fixed subsequently.
* Membership of the British Chess Association may be acquired on the payment of 5s. per annum for individuals; 5s. for every twenty-five members, or fraction of twenty-five, belonging to a Club; and £3 3s. for life-members.

<Introduction>
What little is known about this event is that twelve participants began the tournament and only eight completed the event; presumably the other four withdrew or never actually started play. Gibbons won Ruskin's prize with Smith reportedly getting second place (prize, if any, unknown). <Synopsis>
Ruskin Competition.—The Prize consisting of one of the works of Professor Ruskin, Vice-President of the B.C.A., with his autograph inscription. [(1)]
The Ruskin Competition is fixed to commence on Monday, Dec. 16. The following players have entered their names: Capt. A. W. D. Campbell, W. Donisthorpe, A. Guest, F. Hanford, A. Hunter, T. E. Gibbons, W. W. Mackeson, Q.C., R. Rabson, E. Ridpath, Bryn Roberts, M.P., Sellon, and Dr. S. F. Smith. [(2)]
The Ruskin Competition.—The pairing for the Ruskin Competition commences this day (Saturday) at the British Chess Club. Twelve players had entered their names for this popular contest up to Thursday evening. [(3)]
The Ruskin Competition.—The following are the competitors in the contest for Professor Ruskin's prize: Capt. A. W. D. Cambbell, W. Donisthorpe, T. E. Gibbons, A. Guest, F. Hanford, A. Hunter, W. W. Mackeson, Q.C., R. Rabson, E. Ridpath, Bryn Roberts, M.P., and E. L. Sellon. The result since Monday, when play commenced, is: Capt. Campbell lost to Donisthorpe, Gibbons, Bryn Roberts, and Rabson; Donisthorpe beat Rabson, and lost to Dr Smith; and Hanford beat Rabson. [(4)]
B.C.A.—Owing to the Christmas and influenza epidemics the Amateur Championship contest and the Ruskin competition are at a standstill; but the competitors being now fairly convalescent from both attacks, it is to be hoped that the Tournaments will come to a speedy termination. [(5)]
<Conclusion>
The Ruskin competition held by the British Chess Association has just been concluded. Its name was due to the prize offered, which was a complete set of Mr. Ruskin's works, with his autograph inscription. Many well-known amateur chess players took part in the contest, including Mr. Bryn Roberts, M.P., Captain Campbell, Mr. W. Donisthorpe, and Mr. A. Sellon. The winner was Mr. F. C. Gibbon (sic), with a score of seven games and a half won out of eight played. Dr. S. F. Smith was second with seven games. [(6)]

<Introduction>
<Conclusion>
For the handicap sixteen players had entered, who were divided into two sections after the first round. In the section of winners (for first and second prizes) Mr Burn came out the victor, and the Rev. A. B. Skipworth second; in the section of losers (for third and fourth prizes), Mr Fisher pulled through finally, and Mr Coker came next. [(1)]
<Note>
The game A B Skipworth vs Burn, 1876 counted for the double event, viz., the cup tournament and the final round of the handicap, by mutual agreement of the two contestants. [(2)]
