Games of Chess.

Seven chess players from the Chess and Whist Club visited the Boston Chess Club last evening and made a creditable showing against Mr. Prentiss Cummings, one of the strongest Boston players. The men sat down at two rows of tables, and Mr. Cummings walked up and down in the middle, making his moves against one player after another, with almost no hesitation. R. D. Brown was the first to resign, having made an unfortunate slip in the middle of his game. L. W. Chamberlin was the next victim, and was soon followed by O. Everett. Meanwhile F. W. Nicolls was making a plucky but losing fight. H. A. Davis lost a considerable advantage by a careless move, and had to resign soon after Nicolls. The others were more fortunate. F. M. Brown played a winning game throughout, and was the first to defeat Mr. Cummings. H. Webster also won a victory, making the total score five games to two in Mr. Cummings' favor. A few members of the Boston club had also taken tables, so that eleven games were in progress at once. The visitors were very cordially received and invited to come in at any time for informal games.
