Tbe finale of the first part, r Tbe Congreas of Nations," Is conceded by press and public to be a gorgeous presentation.

E. Aklns, who had raced neck and neck throughout, each having lost one game and drawn two, producing a tie for 1st and 2d prizes, and necessitating n supplementary match between them for tbe championship of Great Britain. This championship being at Issue the managers decided that none but native born players could compete. This rule has evoked considerable criticism. We hope The Field or B. 0.
