N. Y. A. C. Championship at 14:2. May, and again won by Dr. Walter G. Douglas, who in this tournament had but two competitors.
Calvin Demarest vs. Clarence Jackson. Exhibition at 14:2, October 1–4th, first and third nights at W. P. Mussey’s Room, and second and fourth at Thomas Foley’s.—Demarest was to go to 1200 against Jackson’s 800, but failed by 42 points, although making five runs—127, 122, 77, 73, and 64—superior to his opponent’s best, which was 58. The winning average, as near as can be ascertained in penalty of resuming play in an irregular way on three of the four nights, was 9.88. In reason, it should have been higher.
C. F. Conklin vs. Clarence Jackson. Chicago, week ending October 26th, four nights of exhibition 14:2 alternately at Thomas Foley’s and A. M. Clarke’s Room, Conklin playing 1200 to 1000, and winning by 23, with an average approximately 10.50. High runs—Jackson, 80; Conklin, 79.
Amateur Championship of Oregon. Portland, Ore., October, last of the three 14:2 contests for the gold medal.—W. C. Duniway, who had won the other two, was also victor now, with an average of 5.13, although MacBisaillon, his opponent on this occasion, made the highest run (41) when he had but 50 to go to Duniway’s 9. The final score was 200 to 198.
T. J. Gallagher vs. Ora Morningstar at 18:2. Maurice Daly’s Room, New York City, October 28th to November 2d, the latter to play 2500 to 1800.—Gallagher, 1800—150—16.09; Morningstar, 1467—79.
