Mr. McDonnell resigned.

[A] This was a favorite opening of McDonnell's; he bestowed much time and labor on its analyses, and discovered many skilful methods of diversifying the attack.

[B] Q. B. to K's 2d would have been better play we believe.

[C] This game is very cleverly played by La Bourdonnais.

And White resigned.

[A] Had Black checked with his Kt. and taken the Rook, he would have been mated in five moves.

[B] This portion of the game is played by Mr. McDonnell with great judgment.
