The record to date:

1st match,* 1896.
2d match, 1897.
3d match, 1898.
4th match, 1899..

The game of chess in America experienced a distinct forward movement during the year 1899. the principal factors contributing to it being the tour of the American champion, Pillsbury, across the continent, followed, shortly after, by his latest success at the London international tournament, where he shared the second, third and fourth prizes with Janowski and Maroczy, the formation of the Chess Association of the United States, the Total success of the Brooklyn champion, F. J. Marshall in the minor international tournament at London. and the formation of new State associations all over the country. Two cable matches were played during the year with England. On March 11 the American team recovered the Newnes trophy in the annual international fixture. The following month the first intercollegiate cable match occurred and in this one the British universities were successful over their American rivals. Early in the year Janowski, the French champion, visited New York and met with uniform success. Chess by telegraph and correspondence continued to be patronized. Abroad, in addition to the London tournaments referred to, contests were held at Amsterdam and Moscow. The death of Baron Heydebrand und der Lasa on July 27, at the age of eighty-one years, deprived the chess world of one of the most distinguished votaries of the game.
