What is wanted, not only in chess study, but in chess play, is a groundwork of clear and determinate leas as to the final object of the game-checkinata. Tbus, in dress, it is the end we should consider first, so as to more easily master the simple ideas of the game,

In most of us, says Mr Antony fuest, there is some kind of artistic tendaney, that finds no outtat in the handrum of everyday life. This is sullicient to account for the increasing propularity of chess, which is an art aswell as a game.

Its intriències qui its cabinations tre capable of affording westholic' delight which differs, un doubt, from the emotizas produced by poetry, or pictures, or music, but which is to onny stenkerly suficing. Ons need not be an ex-* pert to enjoy the pleasure of play; to the bo. giunerit is like avoyage:hrough an nknown country teeming with beautiful surprises. Every sitting reveals some new and captá- viting feature, sugests une terupting th, ur attords some hint as fo the best mode of pursuing the forener.
