<To-day we present the portrait of a gentleman who requires no introduction to chess players. Mr. Eno has been so prominently identified with the rise of the principal chess clubs of Brooklyn in the past ten years, both as a player and as an efficient officer, that he has become known, by name at least, to every lover of the royal game in this part of the country. Mr. Eno, who is from Manchester, England, was in his early years contemporary with Horwitz and Kling, and at 16 was a spectator at Blackburn's [sic] first blindfold performance. J. H. Blackburn was then 19, and played twelve games without seeing the boards. After Mr. Eno came to this country he allowed the duties and cares of a home to take the place of chess, and between the ages of 25 and 38 played practically not at all. The starting of the Danites Chess Club brought him from his retirement, and when that club was absorbed by the Brooklyn C. C. he became perhaps more active than ever in furthering chess interests in this city.

Were a student of chess to ask the question, How can I improve my strength at chess play? many would refer to Mr. Eno's style as a model - moderately slow, every move thoroughly considered, and yet in simple positions as rapid as could be desired; very sound in combinations, and frequently brilliant in conceptions.
