An actual size photograph on linen of the international chess trophy offered by Mr. Isaac L. Rice of New York has just been received by the Chess Club. The trophy, is a silver cup, having at its top the arms of England, with the English and American flags crossed below. Beneath, supported by two female figures, is a globe showing two hemispheres connected by a cable. Below the globe is represented the American eagle, and on a shield which forms the background of the whole are, on one side, the shields of the four American universities, and on the other those of Oxford and Cambridge. A laurel wreath surrounds all.
The cup is a perpetual challenge cup, and, as it was won last year by the English universities, it will be immediately sent abroad.
