The Chess Club held its first meeting of the year last night. The principal business was the appointment of a committee to take charge of the annual fall tournament, open to all members of the University. The members of this committee are: F. E. Thayer '99, H. C. Ffoulke '98, W. C. Arensberg 1900, James Hewins '98 and P. W. Long '98.
The club has received a challenge from the Chess Club of Berkeley University, California, to play a consultation game of chess. The executive committee are considering the proposition favorably. In case the challenge is accepted three men will play for each club and the moves will be made by telegraph. A San Francisco newspaper has volunteered to furnish the telegraph for the match.
