appearance of such a troupe *
in Atlanta and it will create
certainly a great sensation.
Their success for years, at :
the North, has been so great
that they were with much Jfc:
difficulty coaxed to come ' y\
South. To this day the pat
ronage given to that institu
tion has been something
marvellous. The largest the
atres have been everywhere
filled to overflowing, and the
crowds were composed of the
highest elements of society,
including clergymen, profes
sors, young and old, and of
ten three generations of the
same family.
The Richmond Whig of last

CHS88 NOTES.
In a quite interesting letter from Mr. John Kirk
patrick, of Lynchburg, who is. if wemieteke not. the
champion of Virginia, we learn that the Va. State
Association is in a flourishing condition, and chess
in the ‘Old Dominion’ is on a boom. Tue association
meats Oct. 25, at Richmond, where the annual tourna
ment will be held. Mr. Kirkpatrick suggests a South
ern tournament to be held in thiB city; a very good
idea and one we will be glad to encourage.
We are glad to learn that Mr, G. A. A. Walker ■
health has improved, but unfortunately he is forbid
den chees by hie physician. Hence his valuable li
brary is for sale on rr leonable terms. Chess players,
in need of books, would do well to address Mr. Walk
er at No. 6, Watei ville Road, North Shields, England.
Our friend Halkett uses his new type by first print
ing our No. 252 by Spitz.
Lipschutz is champion of the Manhattan Club.
The match, Blackburne Gnneberg, begins Sept. 26,
in London.
Yenowine’e News Problem Tourney hes been ex
tended to Oct. 31. Messrs. Joseph and Phelps are the
judges. Handsome prizes are offered and the field is
stili open as only 3 problen s have yet been entered
ai d one of the 3 by Mr. Joseph himself ; of course be
fore he was thought of as judge. Go in, boys, but
don’t ’ike advantage of our credulous friend, who,
sometimes, sticks in a problem wltn 31 solutions!
Address K. D. Peterson, P. O. 332, Milwaukee, Wis.
Ajeeb beats, with ease, the Milwaukee players.
The model chess editor. Jas. D. Sequin, of New Or
leans, is traveling through the Noith-weet.
If we may be permitted to enquire, we wonld ask,
who compose the excellent prob lems appearing In the
Denver Republican?
Dr. Keeney writes np K. D. Petirson iu the Ky.
S'ate Journal.
Prof. Wurm is not a professional.
Miron’s leader in the Clipper treats of the first
move, which we contend ie, of itself, no sort of an ad
vantage.
Mr. Jas. D. Sequin, while in St. Louis, played one
game with Mr. A. H. Robbins which result ad in a
draw.
The Commercial Gazetta makes the important
statement that Lipschutz is to prepare a revised edi
tion of Gossip’s Chees Players’ Manual.
Prof. P. A. Towne expresses the opinion that
Wheeler has exhsuste 1 the possibilities of our stale
mate contest. We hope he is in error and that a
game will be fouDd in 11.
With the September number, the Brooklyn Chees
Chronicle closes its 5th volume. The chess player
can have this excellent monthly one year by sending
82 to Messrs. J. B. and E. M. Munoz, 458 Henry St,

first named a regular contributor to our column, we
take an especial delight in recommending this jour
nal to our readers.

dispute that the house was crowded; and, bet
ter still, that all were delighted.
It is hard to describe the intelligence evi
denced by the animals. It was really human
like, and the large assemblage yelled its ap
plause.
The whole troupe act together in perfect har
mony. They perform the school comedy, play
a tune npon bells, and go through all the evo
lutions of a regular military drill with the pre
cision and vim of old soldiers. Eagle on the
see-saw, Hornet skipping rope and imitating a
rocking-herse, and John Sanbourne, the blind
pony in the swing, give really astonishing dem
onstrations of what the horse is capable of
when highly trained and when his noble char
acter is fully developed.”
Baird’s Mammoth Minstrels.
The Opera House will be occupied only two
days this week, Friday and Saturday at night
and at matinee, when Baird’s Mammoth Min
strels will make their bow before an Atlanta
audience. To show that they deserve the pat
ronage of those who do not know them, we
republish the following appreciation of the St.
Louis Republican:
The curtain rolled np last night upon the
occasion of the appearance of I. W. Baird’s
Mammoth Minstrels, upon one of the largest
and most expectant audiences the opera house
has ever contained. That the great attend
ance was justified was amply demonstrated,
too, by the artistic and laughable entertain
ment which followed.
Prof. Ed. Hardy, the equilibrist, performed
the astounding feat of erecting himself on
chairs from the stage to the flies, performing a
most wonderful feat of balancing. Succeeding
this remarkable exhibition of balancing skill
were original song and dance sketches, female
impersonation of rare talent, picturesque
statue dances, Zouave drilling, banjo gems,
quartette clog dancing, comedy musical duett
and a musical melange, never excelled here,
and other choice selected exhibitions of vocal
and terpsichorean talent.
To please, amuse and entertain an audience,
so large and varied as was that gathered last
evening, requires the highest kind of art, and
Baird’s minstrels appear to have grasped the
situation fully.
