< There was a notable difference in the minds of the spectators of this match, and of those who looked on at Mr. Paulsen's feat. In the latter case, there was the cer tainty that what had been promised would be performed, Mr. Paulsen having often given proof of his extraordinary capacity. But among those who came to see Mr. Black burne play, there was a slight nervous feeling that possibly the young athlete had over estimated, or over taxed his powers ; and that some unlucky mistake occurring at a critical moment, might so confuse him as to render him in capable of further effort. As the games proceeded, how ever, it became evident to all present that no apprehension need be entertained. The rapidity and precision of his moves elicited universal admiration, it being remarked, that he seemed to play with greater ease than even Mr. Paulsen. An incident that occurred at Mr. Evelyn's board still further heightened the gratification of the spectators. A certain move on the part of Mr. Evelyn was announced to Mr. Blackburne ; this he pronounced to be impossible, great curiosity being excited as to the party liable for the error. The moves from the beginning of the game were then called by Mr. Blackburne from memory, and it was then discovered that the position on the board was wrong. The rectification of this error drew forth loud cheers from all sides.>
