Chess Challenge Accepted by Oxford.

The official acceptance of the challenge sent by Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Columbia for a chess match by cable has been received from Oxford University. The Englishmen consider six players on a side sufficient, and suggest April 20 as the date of the match. They further suggest that no player shall be eligible for more than five years from the date of his matriculation as a mean between the qualifications for English and American intercollegiate chess matches. This tournament is to be held under the patronage of the Manhattan Chess Club.
