NOTES ON THE CHESS MATCH.

AUCKLAND V. DTTNEDIN.

A tew jottings on this recent contest may be of interest to our readers. An analysis of the games is contemplated, whi.h if carried out will render the match still more interesting and instructive, not only to the competitors but also to the many Auck land players who did not compete. At sta-ting the teams were believed to be pretty evenly balanced, although the Aucklanders had little or no knowledge of the capabiU.its or styles of their opponents. The Dunedin.plajers had ih« advantsge of having pre viously taken part in a telegraphic tournament Th* first point that struck us w»s the almost unanimous avoidance of anything like a gambit Out of the nine games plated no less than five were Sicilian openings, and the only gambi'. plai ed was the nn ventnresom cne of Ttuv l.opej. This w*s plavert at board A between Mr Hay (the Dunedin charm.ion), and Mr Mrrton, who in the recent. Ponso' by tourna me* t won 1G out of 18 games. Mr Morton pUyed with all his usual strer.gth, _nd succeed el not only in repelling his adversary's attack, but in actually forcing mate at his 25th m. ye. At board B. Mr Stewart w«s disappointed in not. eetti* g his favourite gambit, and did not foi ow up the Sicilian owe in* accordir gto book, itti'e 22nd move lieexch.irifred his two Rooks for his adversary's Queen and a Pawn, snd then followed a long sertes i f skilful manoenvrwS with hts Queen, whUh ended after t.hirtv. moves in pinning one of Biack'-i K_oks, and ihus securing another game fur Auckland At b aid 0 the contest lay between two ex-Provincial Secretaries Mr Q H. Lusk ot Auckland, and Mr Mount, ot Ot-.go The fi-ilian openiog was selected. Mr Lusk did not [day up to the mark, and in about 20 moves h hid lost a Pawn, and was in so awkward a position that ihe game seemed a certainty for Ounedin. Mr Lnsk, however, resolved to play it out, and at the 12nd move Mr Mouatt'a forces were reduced to a Book and four Pawns, against Mr Lusk's Rook and three Pawns. The latter immediately afterwards h<»d to give up another of his Pawns, and then followed a keen struggle for the mast-ry, lasting nearly seven lv urs. At a quarter to eight o'clock Mr Livk forced a draw, to the intense disgust of his opponent, who had a few moments previously telegraphed the unwelcome news " Pawn Queens." Mr Lusk s play through the long hours of Wednesday night, exhibited the most re markable skill and endurance. At board D, Mr Nixon (Auckland) played Mr Ash (Dunedin) aSicilian game, but was too rash in pushing his Pawnß on the King's side, and hts antagonist, who played with ex treme caution, hat him very neatly at the 28 h move. This was Ihe only game actnallv won b> Dutierim. Another Sicilian opening was played at bjard E. between Mr Cross (uunedin) and Mr H. c. Williams (Auckland). The latter opened badly, a.d Danedin brought down both his Knight, with great force. The Auckland player, however, managed to extriuate himself without loss, and had so far ame ded his game as to be near tc winning a piece when he made a most unfortunate mistake by placing one of his adversary's Rooks on the wrong square, which cost him his Qiven. Our players should be careful on another occasion to have some check in recording the moves on the board. Mr Williams gut-mittei with a a good grace, and having declined his opponents proponal that he should re.-dgn (1). continued to flgh. Unt-1 the end of the sitting (8 a m). Hud this unfor tunate mistake not occurred, there is little doubt that Auckland would have scored nnoiher game, \t Board F, the game was "xc^ediogly well pl.yed be tween Mr Beather (Au kl.nd) and Mr Gdmstead (Duoedin), both piay.isevi' cinq the greate-tcauti m. Special inter.st in .this c-me w.s expr ssed at WB| liogton, where (it is supposed) a party of chess players were watching the match as the moves were telegraphed up and down th> line. The moves from Dunedin came very tardily, aud it seemed unlikely that the game would be finished Wnite (Auculanfl) had a superiority inpnsttiou, when at33o a m he made a slip (move 34) which c-.st him the 10-s of a k lght Nothing daunted, he continu d to fight on f-.r fur hours until th. w ivs stopped, and the game was left unfinished, J..une-ia being a knight and two uaw is to the good. At Board G, Mr (? ur) Bakewell was to have played vr Brodie, mi*, his plac. was filled at the last momeDt by Mr Wilson The ga i.c was a not very imer.stiDgspeeiineu of the Giuo.-o Piano, in which Mr Brodte got a bad position, but amply ledeemed it at move 30 by neatly winning apiece Which gave him an easy victory, and at 4 30 am this game .cored the conquest f>r uc-land At Board H. a Sicilian openiog was pUyed between Mr Rice - and Mr Quick, Tnis game opened very slowly At the first sitting near y two hours were wasted through moves being wrongly tranxmitted from I uneriin. Ou Wednesday nigh. White (Auc-land) improved in po ultion, aud, after drivi .g back one of his opponent'a knights out of play, sacrificed a bi«bo_. for a pawn, obtaining a strong attack, which resulted in an easy Victory. The most noticeable feitur- at Board I daring tho early part ot the match, was the extra ordinary length of time wh eh nr Jakins had to wait for his Ounedin opponent Mr Christie, vice Johnson. A long game ensued, bjih phM ing with ureal caution, until Mr Christie fell into a trap, which his wily opponent had set, and died " hard ''_.._ ru. The result of th* match, therefore, is:—Auckland wins 6 games; Dunedin, 1. Drawn, 1; unfinished, 2. Total, 9. The Dune.iin players at boards h. _.nd F .ought to claim their games, snd th -re is little d >'ibt that If they were played out, they ought to s.oretn m, but the result cannot be abend, as -u.kWndha.a clear majority As the match is said to be a " pre liminary contest wo may expect to hear of some further enga<ement before long With the telegraphic communication which exists throughout the colony, these contests might be frequently held and we shall . not be surprised to hear of ntu.r provln es coming forward into the arena. Before concluding these hasty notes, we should ment'on that the Auckland telegraphist, Mr Martin, received tho hearty thanks ,-j_. Of the players for his unexceptional accuracy in trans mitting nearly 400 moves without a single mistake.— [Communicated.]

MAIL ITEMS.

Atter transhipping her mails and'passen gers into the San Francisco at Kandavn, the Ornnnda will come ou to Auokland and Dunedin and take 'ho next outward English mail from JMt-w Zealand. The Colima will probably be the mrwa'd Sydney boat. What will bo our ni-x^ b a' from San Franoisco is hard to s^.y, as the agents h;;Ve received no intimation of the arrirai of the City of New York at 'hat port ft may happr-n that the City of Melbourne, which is otherwise due in

' ff-w flays, wiil be engaged to wait for the Entrlish mail, in wh'oh case she may be ioo'^ed for about the 27th inst. But it is most probable that either the City of New York or the Vascode Gams will be signalled with the next mail in about 12 days time We have reason to believe that the arrange ment about two boats going through next month is not likely to be carried into effect. From not having enough boats the Pacific Mail Co. have now one boat more at this end of the line than they know how to employ. This state of things is caused by the arrival of the s.s. Zealandia in Sydney.

A RESCUED CREW.

FIFTY-TWO DAYS ON PITH A TEN'S TS- L---.ND, AND ON TEH. VERGE OF STARVATION. The Ennerdale, from Newcastle, N.S.W., commanded by Captain Porter, reached San Francisco, having on board the rescued crew of the Khandeish. The British fihip Khan deish, Captain Skelly, left this port on the *14f.h of last August for Liverpool. All w.nt well on the voyage until September 25th, on which day observations showed the vessel, to be in latitude 22 deg. 49 sees. and long. 130 west. The prevailing wiod was steady, being east by north, and veering to the northward, bringing light showers. On the evening of the 25th of September the sun set in a clear tky, promising a pleasant night The night-watch was set and the look-out posted, and no danger or evil of any character was anticipated. The hours p.-isse.d slowly away until ten o'clock, wlum all on board were wakened by a tremendoun bump or series of bumps, proclaiming, in unmistakable language, that the vessel had struck on a reef, i The helm was immediately jammed down, ;.nd the yards braced back, while orders were given to clear away the boats. The ship appeared to be running along a ledge, striking heavily every now and then, aud nearly enveloped by the breakers. There was no possibility of saving the ship, so the sailors turned their attention to the saving of life. Three of the boats were quickly manned and supplied with bread and water, and a few charts and a chroaometer were put into each boat. The entire crew were safely taken in by the three boats, and they lay by the ship until suDrise. '1 he morning sunlight shewed that the ship had fallen over on the p rt side, in which location she was boarded by the boats, and a few articles of clothing saved. Nothing more could be obtained, as the ship was then neably full ok water. , There being no hope in remaining by the ship the boats set sail in company for Pit cairn's Island, where all arrived in safety on the 28ch September, after a voyage of three ..ayß. Here they were forced to remain fifty-two days, keeping an anxious look-out for passing vessels and being half-starved by the giving out of their provisions. On the 18 th of November a ship was espied in the distance, and a boat was speedily manned and sent out to it. W 7hen about half a mile from them the ship perceived^ their signals and lay to for them. The vessel proved to be the^Ennerdale, Captsin Porter, New Zea land, which brought the shipwrecked crew to this port yesterday. An A merican seaman, Peter Butler, preferred to remain on Pitcaisn's Island and was therefore left behind;
