The intercollegiate chess tournament will open on December 26th at the rooms of the Harvard School, cor. Fifth Avenue and 47th St., New York. The Manhattan Chess Club kindly offered their rooms for the tournament, but as in was deemed desirable to keep the tournament a purely college affair, the offer was declined.

It is hoped this year to put the meeting on a paying basis and each club repcesented will be given about 200 tickets or dispose of. The tickets and a prospectus will be ready early in December.

The members of the winning team will, is before, receive medals. The committee has decided also to give a medal to the candidate winning the most games, in case such a candidate is not a member of the winning team.

Mr. Lloyd, whose work was soa cceptable last year, will probably be asked to actagain as referee.
