The Ontario Chess Association held its third annual meeting at
Guelph on Feb. 17th, when there were present delegates from
Toronto, Hamilton, and Guelph. After the election of officers, and
the choice of Toronto as the next place of meeting, it was resolved
that the goodly surplus of funds in hand should be utilised as
follows : —
First, in the purchase of two gold medals, to be given,
one to the best composer, and the other to the best solver of pro-
blems in a tourney open only to members of the Association, for
the conduct of which a committee was appointed.
Secondly, in a
gold medal for each of the three dubs - Toronto, Hamilton, and
Guelph, to be competed for by the respective members of those
dubs in such manner as each club shall decide on, the tourney to
be open to all the members.
Thirdly, in two prizes of 10 dols.
and 5 dols. each for the first and second winners of a tourney
among those now present at the meeting, the play to be on the
pairing out system, but no player to be thrown out till he has
lost two games. For this tourney there were eight entries -
Messrs. Littlejohn, Gordon, and Punshon of Toronto, Judd and
Byall of Hamilton, and Lockwood, Baldwin, and Barclay of
Guelph.
After several rounds, there were left in Messrs. Little-
john, Gordon, Judd, and Baldwin, and as there was not time te
finish, it was agreed that the concluding rounds should be played
out at Toronto.
