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.

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.

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. ftaifroab#,, RAILROAD TIME TABLE Showing the arrival and departure of all trains from Atlanta.

The treatment of many thousands of cases of those chronic weaknesses and distressing ailments peculiar to females, at the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapt ing and thoroughly testing remedies for the cure of woman’s peculiar maladies. Dr. Dierce’s Favorite Prescription is the outgrowth, or result, of this jpreat and valuable experience. Thousands of testimo nials, received from patients and from physi cians who have tested it in the more aggra vated and obstinate cases which had baffled their skill, prove it to be the most wonderful remedy ever devised for the relief and cure of suffering women. It is not recommended as a “cure-all,” but as a most perfect Specific for woman's peculiar ailments. As a powerful, invigorating tonic, it imparts strength to the whole system, and to the womb and its appendages in particular. For overworked, “worn-out,” “run-down,” debilitated teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seamstresses, “shop-girls,” house keepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women generally. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is the greatest earthly boon, being unequaled as an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic. As a soothing and strengthening nervine, “Favorite Prescription” is une qualed and is invaluable iu allaying and sub duing nervous excitability, irritability, ex haustion, prostration, hysteria, spasms and other distressing, nervous symptoms com monly attendant upon functional and organic disease of the womb. It induces refreshing sleep and relieves mental anxiety and de- Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is a legitimate medicine, carefully compounded by an experienced and skillful physician, and adapted to woman’s delicate organization. It is purely vegetable in its composition and perfectly harmless in its effects in any condition of the system. For morning sickness, or nausea, from whatever cause arising, weak stomach, indigestion, dys pepsia and kindred symptoms, its use, in small doses, will prove very beneficial. “Favorite Prescription ” is a posi tive cure for the most complicated and ob stinate cases of leucorrhea, excessive flowing, painful menstruation, unnatural suppressions, prolapsus, or falling of the womb, weak back, 6 female weakness,” anteversion, retroversion, bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion, inflammation and ulceration of the womb, in flammation, pain and tenderness in ovaries, accompanied with “internal heat.” As a regulator and promoter of func tional action, at that critical period of change from girlhood to womanhood, “Favorite Pre scription ” is a perfectly safe remedial agent, and can produce only good results. It is equally efficacious and valuable in its effects when taken for those disorders and derange ments incident to that later and most critical period, known as “ The Change of Life.” “Favorite Prescription,” when taken in connection with the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, and small laxative doses of Dr. Pierce’s Purgative Pellets (Little Liver Pills), cures Liver, Kidney and Biadder diseases. Their combined use also removes blood taints, and abolishes cancerous and scrofulous humors from the system. “ Favorite Prescription ” is the only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under a positive guarantee, from the manu facturers, that it will give satisfaction in every case, or money will be refunded.
