Alekhlne has therefore returned to the West to resume his exhibitions and was, according to last accounts, In Chicago. We publish this week a game from the Mercantile Library Championship Tournament. This game between Sharp and Drasin is published because it is the only game that Sharp lost out of the first ten games played, a splendid record. Mr. Sharp need not feel slighted that we should publish one of his losses.
We well recall the remarks of L. D. Barber, formerly a strong player of this city, with whom the chess masters 40 years ago were willing to contest and each one as they won a game immediately had the same published. Barber's comment on seeing his losses published remarked: "This Is the way Reichhelm, Davison, Neill and other leading players of Philadelphia make their reputation by winning a game from me." S. T.

CHECKERS PENN BHIPLKY" (Note: It was a surprise to the edi tor that so many of our solvers failed on the three-mover, No. 2918, these solvers playing for Whote's nrst move P-Q8, claiming a Queen, and then commenting on the weakness of the key, stating that even a Rook player could solve this problem, or comments of a similar nature.
Chess players must have been surprised If they looked at the solution to find that P-Q8, claiming a Queen did not solve the problem, as Black replied P-R8, claiming a Knight. The only key move was P-Q8 claiming a Knight as we published some little time ago.) Problem Ho. 2921 is solved by B-KB6. Problem No. 2922 Is solved by Q-QRsq.
