A game won by Mr. P. S. Milner Barry at board one in the match between Cambridge and Oxford Universities. He is of Cambridge, and we think he has won the championship both of the town and the University. While of Cheltenham College he won the British Boys' Championship—at Hastings—and played a game here with Alekhine, one of eleven Alekhine was playing without seeing the boards, which Alekhine considered the most interesting of the evening. Alekhine won ten, and lost one—to Mr. Foxwell—after making an unsound sacrifice. In the following Mr. Milner-Barry had white.

Surprises of the Tenby Congress.
There were some surprises when the congress of the British Chess Federation was resumed at the Royal Playhouse, Tenby, on Tuesday. In the British championship tourney, Yates, the holder of the title, won his games with Sir George Thomas and W. H. Watts, of London. J. H. Morrison, of London, scored an unexpected win over V. Buerger. W. Winter, of London, defeated Fairhurst and Drewitt, and as a result of the morning's play Yates and Winter each had two games to their credit.
In the Major Open Tournament, in which the foreign masters are playing, the outstanding incident of the day was the defeat of Miss V. Menchik, of St. Leonard's, the holder of the World Ladies' Championship, by P. S. Milner-Barry, leader of the Cambridge University chess team. G. Koltanowski, the Belgian player, at present holds the lead.
Two South Wales players, Mrs. Houlding, of Newport, and T. Conniff, of Kidwelly, were successful in their games during the day.
