Like "Dunne's Trap." it is well known amonK the recitlar players: 11-15 12-10 9-13 11-1S 2.1-20 12-10 82-1S 25-22 1S-9 20-11 S-l 24-ir. 15-22 12 a l t IS. 23 S9-2S 3-12 2.V1S 27-24 22-1 S 20-17 4-S 30-2(1 S-ll 10-14 1-5 13-22 2-7 20- 25 21-10 ISO 23-19 27-21 4-8 7-10 5-14 22-2j EI2.V22 24- 20 32-27 lll-lo 11-3 10-10 While wins. (a) Can?lit: 14-1S is proper anil leads to another trap (in Mark's favor) thus: '4-18 10-14 23-27 14-19 14-10 10-14 21- 17 8-11 31-24 21-10 30-2.5 1-5 25- 22 7-10 10-15 JS.2S 27-31 23-10 17-13 b)ll-7 10-10 10-10 25-21 113-12 18 23 23-27 12-10 9-14 31-20 19-15 24- 20 31 24 21-15 10-0 21-17 5-1 22- 18 0-0 ISO 23-27 211-23 16-10 20- 16 13-0 2S-2-1 0-1 17-13 Blaek wins. (b) The trap: 28-24. 14-17. 24-20. 10-14, 11-15, 1S-11, 10-7. 3-10. 20-16. etc., draws. Of comparatively modern origin is tho play leading to the following nicely concealed little "shot," as follows: 11-15 12-10 9-14 a)14-17 d)13-17 11-15 2"-18 20-22 ISO 21-14 1S-9 20-11 15-22 C)S-12 5-14 10-20 17-22 30-25 25- 18 2S-2-1 22-18 31-22 9-5 10-1O 8-11 el0-13 1-5 7-10 22-20 25-20 29- 25 32-28 ISO 27-24 M30-25 1-8 3-9 5-14 30-14 M20-30 24-29 21-10 25-22 22-1S CI25-22 RIack wins. fa) 13-17 draws, nn.l at one time was considered con-sidered correct; the text, as late as "Drum-mond's "Drum-mond's First." reprinted 1S91. being given as a loss. Tlte subtle little sacrifice eight moves later, however, "make all the difference. '1- fill The safest moves. (e) The loser. 25-21. draws comfortably hy 30- 0 5-1. 20-31. 21-17. 31-27, 10-15. 27-18. 15-S. 10-10, 24-15. 1S-4. 17-13. 4-8. 1-0. 2-0. 13-0. S-ll, 0-2, 11-15, 2-0. "3-7. etc. In lieu of 3-7 at last move. 15-10 looks tempting, apparently ap-parently gaining a grip on the pieces on the side, in reality it loses by 0-10, 10-23 (3-8, 20-10, white winsl. 10-15. 23-20. 15-18. 20-31. 18-23. 3-7 2S-0-1 7-10. 24-19. 10-14. 10-15, 14-17, 23-18. 31- 27, 15-10, 17-21, 1S-22. 27-23. 10-7. 23-10. 7-3 10-15. 3-S. 15-10.

It occurred oc-curred in a Leeds-Bradford match between Messrs. G. M. Ronur (blaek) and W. Gardner (white). (d) Sustains the draw afler 14-17 at a. and must be verv accurately met by white. The text is original with W. Taylor, llundee. (e) It should be carefully noted by the newcomer new-comer what would happen at these slages if black plnvcd 10-14 or 10-15. A Utile examination examina-tion will disclose the "breaks" into black's single corner which win for while. CRITICISM. Re game SS0 at 45lh move, 5-9 draws. I am unable to follow Mr. I.ibby's criticism of game SSI he savs "After the 14th move. 22-1K. it seems to in'e to be a black win by 19-23. 2(1-10. 10-15 " but the position doesn't allow a shol at the 14th move: a white piece occupies 23 and square 11 is vacant. Came 834; the 30-25 move at 14 is not new. though, not so far as I know, in any of the books. It was played against me in the 1901 Glasgow tourney, and Taylor adopted it against McCnfferty in the last S. 1). T. In both games 2-7 was played where 2-0 is given in game 884 at note "c." I won mine and McCnfferty missed a win In his. J. A. Buchanan. Glasgow. Scoibind. J. F. Rathbou of Now Yolk City writes as follows: . Hnve read Willi deep inlerest various loiters of Mr. J. Alexander of Birmingham. Lngland, that have appeared in Tribune. The letter that mentioned Die Espanol book, bv Torquemnda, Valencia, 1547. so far as known, the first published work upon checkers, , mentions, as known, only the tide page, but does not state where the page is. It is mv recollection that years since there appeared i'n the New York Clipper an item by Max Lange. stating Dial the only known copy of the Tontnemaila book is in the B"iiin library.
