We quote part of Mr. wunng s letter: Lyons furnished chess books to my father in the 80s and to myself up to the time of Lyons' retirement from business. His catalogues, particularly the one Issued in 1909. were standards for American prices. He was always noted for his fair dealing and integrity. He acted as agent for many collectors, particu larly tne inte jonn G. White, of Cleveland, O. Lyons belonged to the chess period signalized In play by Stelnitz, Zukertort, Mackenzie, Bird, etc., and In problems bv Loyd, Bayer, Shlnkman. the latter of whom is almost the sole survivor of the great composers of the past."
