Intercollegiate Chess Tournament.

Arrangements have about been completed for a series of intercollegiate chess games between Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Columbia. The first tournament will be held in New York during Christmas week of 1892. Each college will be represented by a team of three men each of whom is to play with the nine men not of his own college. The team making the highest score will receive silver medals and the challenge cup that year. Several designs for the cup were submitted to the chess clubs of the four colleges. All were in favor of the one presented by Tiffany, and the cup is now being made. It will cost four hundred dollars, one hundred of which was subscribed by Mr. Caswell a graduate of Yale, and the rest was collected from the graduates of the other colleges. The cup is to be contested for during five consecutive years, the college winning it the greatest number of times, receiving it as its own.
