Second Game for the Local Chess Championship. The second game of the match for the championship of the District of Columbia, between Messrs. F. B. Walker and E. P. Hanna, was played Saturday evening, and, like the first game, resulted in a victory for Mr. Hanna. The latter had first move, and chose his favorite opening, the Ruy Lopez. The game was a pretty exhibition of che: playing, in which Mr. Hanna won his op- porent’s queen for three minor pieces and afterward played the ending in excellent style. The contest was watched by a num- ber of pl mong those in attendance ving Mr. Waiter L. Campbell. the blind man, to whom the Following is the E.P.Hanna.

Undoubtedly the best way to select the team, or at least the lower half of it, would be to have a competitive tournament. This seems to be out of the question, < several players who are regarded a sirable candidates could not give the time necessary for such a contest. Another method proposed, which seems to find favor. is to take a vote of players of well-known strength in the leading clubs of the country, each player to vote for ten players for ihr team.

Much tnterest is manifested in the coming amateur ten-mile handicap road race Thanksgiving day, Thursday, November 24, over the upper Conduit road course. The race will start at the spring near the en- trance to Glen Echo and continue up to the Anglers’ club honse. There the riders will make a turn, around the big tree, and, returning over the same course, finish in front of Cabin John Bridge Hotel. The race will be run under the rules of the League of American Wheeimen, or rather such L. A. W. rules as apply to read racing, the organization having gone upon record as being opposed to contests of this kind. No riders except those in good stand- ing will be allowed to enter or officiate. Al- ready quite a number of entries have been received, both from out*of-town and loca! riders. The list of prizes, which will be quite large, comprises at least three high- grade bicycles, and the others will be jew- elry, well worth competing for. The prizes will be on exhibition several days before the race takes place. Entry blanks can be secured at the different cycle stores and at the Washington Circle Cycie Company, 2125 Pennsylvania aveaie. A. C. Moran, the local rider, who went Ba a a ment.

At this plaee Bald left for the east. Cooper and Gardiner were anxious to go home, and Major Taylor, the colored crack, had already ‘eft. With the crack riders out, it was decided that it would not be wise to continue the circuit. The or- ganization of the American Racing Cyclists’ Union is still intact, according to Moran. H. R. Steenson, the Minneapolis boy, will remain in town all during the winter. With Lee Counselman, he will ride a tandem, and their entry has practically been made out for the first of the series of indoor races that will be run this winter at Mad- ison Square Garden. Steenson will most likely take the front seat on the tandem, He is regarded as an expert multicycle rider, and, with the Jallu brothers, he’| formed the celebrated triplet team. en he left the brothers went in as a tandem team and have been in France for several years, astonishing the neople of that coun- try_with their remarkably viding. R. L. French, who has been riding a tandem all of the present season with Counselman, has decided to give up riding for the win- ter, and Steenson takes his place. Some- thing Is expected of the local team at Mad- ison Square. For the sprint and six-day go- as-you-please race, it is stated, that a total of 500 entries have been recelved. This only serves to show the interest that is manifested in the affair, which will be run against the rules of the League of Amer- ican Wheelmen. A number of foreign ctack riders wiil cross the 5cean to compete, and many riders will join the outlaw ranks who have not as yet had an opportunity of affiliating with the crack riders. It might be stated that by riding in the con- tests Counselman will be among the local riders suspended. ‘The suspension of Thomas Eck by the chairman of the racing board, which was published during the week, has some local interest. One of the causes of was the failure to pay H. R. Steenson $300 for pacing work and for prize money. This was owed before Steenson came to this city to ride, and though he appealed to the chairman of the racing board to help col- lect the money coming to him, he was never able to accomplish ‘anything. chairman did not suspend Eck for this cause alone, but when other ciaims were filed the whole were bunched and the train- er suspended on the whole number.
