Cham- berlin showed the club In good finan cial standing, having accumulated Income on hand of about $700. The following officers were elected for the ensuttig year: President, Walter Penn Shipley; vice president, James F. Magee, Jr.; treasurer, Wil liam B. Chamberlain; secretary, Arthur E. Well. Directors S. W. BamDton. Hood Gilpin, Philip H. Goepp, Edward L. McKenna, Wil liam W. Woodnutt. H. E. Everding S. T. Sharp, W. H. G. Mackay and A. E. Well. An Interesting auestlon Is now be fore the Orphans' Court of Phila delphia county on the Interpretation or the will 01 ine laie narns o Chilton. In the first codicil to his will the decedent eave to the Franklin Chess Club an annuity of $125, to be paid out of his estate on the first days of October of each year, and the said amount was to be devoted by the club to holding an annual chess tournament with suitable prizes to be paid out of the fund, and tne same amount was given to the Mer cantile Library Company in trust for the Mercantile Library Chess Association unon similar terms.
The question befores the court was whether the annuity for the niimose of conducting chess tour naments violated the laws against perpetuities or whether the same was valid on the ground that the gift was for a charitable use and came under that portion of the act of 1855. which Drovides :nat no ais position of property hereafter made for anv religious. cnaruaDie, nierary or scientific use shall fall as being given In perpetuity. The club as trustee of the fund making the claim a chess tournament would come within the clause "for a 1ft erarv or scientific use." The matter was taken under ad vlsemcnt by the court. We give below an interesting game nlaved about a year ago in one the foreign tournaments.
The game Is well-played and is an excellent illustration of an old-time favorite form of the Scotch Gambit. The line adoDted bv Kostich is gener ally conceded by all the masters to v eld w th best play, out an even game, although the best defense is not at an times easy 10 nna ana slight error will give White an over whelming attack.
