"Nearly seven hours of relentless battle across the chess board, marked the simultaneous exhibition by Dr. Alexander Alekhine, of Paris, in the Eaton Auditorium last night and this morning, under the auspices of the Canadian Chess Federation. Seemingly unfatigued, the champion made hurried exit, to escape eager autograph hunters. He registered his final victory close to 3 a.m., at the lone board occupied by H. Goldhamer, to make the count 33 wins in his favor, with four losses and three games drawn. This is a better showing than local players made against Alekhine on his last appearance here in January, 1924, when he lost one with C.N. Ritchie, then of Hamilton, now of Toronto, drew four and won the rest.

Introduction of the champion was made by B. Freedman, and the gathering constituted a local record. After the games had developed it required eighteen minutes to complete the circuit, and give special attention to his replies at the two screened boards, Where Dr. Alekhine conducted his games without sight of the board. These games were contested by M. Alpert, Jordan C.C., and K.H. Whitfield, of Galt, with F.W. Watson acting as intermediary to annouce the moves. Various sections of the play were occasionally flooded with light for moving pictures of the champion as he proceeded from board to board.

Dr. Alekhine registered his first win after two hours' play by cleverly forcing checkmate against S. Heifetz, Jordan C.C., whose club mate, M. Hoffman, became a pawn to the good, and this he carefully nursed to score the first win. The next victory, a brilliant one of the sacrificial order, was registered by S.E. Gale, Toronto C.C., while D. Luvstrand was then also due to score with obvious material advantage. The fourth victory came near the close, W.W. Robson scoring with an extra pawn.

Meanwhile two Toronto C.C. players, B.M. Anderson and R.E. Martin, had drawn, and interest centred on the two blindfold games. Whitfield was unable to make use of an extra pawn, and a draw was agreed upon. Alpert ran into a critical ending, and in the exciting race to promote pawns he miscalculated, and Alekhine got there first.

This afternoon the champion will make a round of sightseeing, and tomorrow evening is in Buffalo. C.N. Taylor, one of the Buffalo players, took part last night and against him Dr. Alekhine made a beautiful surprise sacrifice of his queen to force checkmate in three. En passant, he also sacrificed brilliantly against J.S. Morrison, to defeat the former Dominion champion. In conversation, he stated that a return match with Capablanca is all a matter of raising stakes, and there seems little prospect of this in the United States."
