Torre to Meet Janowski. Carlos Torre, who gave a successful exhibition of simultaneous play at the Providence Chess Club last Saturday is scheduled to meet David Janowski in an exhibition match game at the rooms of the Manhattan Chess Club next Saturday afternoon. It will probably be Janowski's last game with clocks in this country, inasmuch as he is due to return to France on the steamship La Bourdonnais on Tuesday. Torre, on the other hand, will be given an opportunity to match his wits against an expert, who, in his day, was ranked among the “grand-masters” of the world. Members of the Manhattan Chess Club are looking forward with interest to this treat.

Smirks, Carlos Torre and E. Tholfsen.
