Chess And Freemasonry.

CHESS AND FREEMASONRY .

WE have much pleasure in reproducing the following Problem which is dedicated by its author , the Chess Editor of the New York Sunday Times , to hta brethren . He says , " Oar Masonic brethren may , with the aid of a little imagination , picture the White Kins ? as the Worshipful Master in the East , seated before

the tesselated pavement , flanked on each side by two doughty Knights , who may represent his Secretary and Treasurer . Two trusty Pawns , as Tyler and Inner Guard , protect tho inner and outer doors , while a Light in the North , a Bishop , stands ready to offer tho obligation . There seems to be an interloper in the norfch-easfc

corner , but it he acts well his part , he will not be interfered with . That tbe Black King is a clandestine Mason is evident from his colour , although , as is natural iu this era , he has a few friends at court . The White Queen , but for her implied sex , might represent

the Junior Warden in the South . Perhaps she is a sister of the Eastern Star . But there must be another Officer to take a place in the West before the ceremonies can proceed . Let the candidate beware , or the fell hand of the executioner will be upon him .
