The Brooklyn Boys' High School and the Polytechnic Prepatory School are the only members at present of the Long Island Inter-Scholastic Chess League. At a meeting held late last week the following list of officers was elected for the ensuing year: President, C. L. Rand, of the Brooklyn Boys' High School; Vice President, P. Gravenhurst, of the Polytechnic Preparatory School, and Treasurer, F. W. Rope, of Boys' High School. At the meeting President Rand appointed Richards, of Poly, and Gillispie, of High School, as a Schedule Committee, and instructed the committee to arrange dates for the holding of the annual championship tournament. It was decided at the meeting to have a time limit of twenty moves an hour placed upon the games of the championship series, and to have the teams composed of ten men, instead of eight, as has been the case heretofore. The Schedule Committee has since held a meeting, and announces the following dates:
November 3—Brooklyn Boys' High School vs. Polytechnic Prepatory at Boys' High School.
November 17—Polytechnic Prepatory School vs. Brooklyn Boys' High School at Poly Prep.
December 8—Polytechnic Prepatory School vs. Brooklyn Boys' High School at Poly Prep.

Correspondence Players Plan Amalgamation
One of the most important steps taken within recent years for the purpose of consolidating and harmonizing some of the chess interests of the country is about to be taken. At any rate, the preliminary work has almost been completed and the consummation of the deal may be expected in the course of the next fortnight. It is the correspondence players who are contemplating this important venture.
While the devotees of over-the-board play have their local leagues and State associations, in addition to the Western Association, those who play by mail propose to bring into existence a truly continental organization which will embrace the whole of the United States and, if possible, Canada as well. In any event, there will be a large number of Canadian members.
The organizations that are interested in this movement and which have come to an understanding with their officers, are the following:
Correspondence Chess League of Greater New York—Z. Leslie Hoover, Manhattan, president; William P. Hickok, Mount Vernon, secretary; Charles L. Rand, Brooklyn, tournament director.
Chess by Mail Correspondence Bureau—Dr. W. C. Browne, Burnside, Pa., director.
[…]
Charles L. Rand, as tournament manager, also has a heavy load to carry and the Brooklynite good naturedly assumed the extra burden as the number of competitors increased from year to year.
