Excerpt from The Eye Witness

Florida M etropoh's was the simple announce ment that there had arrived, at the Hotel Mason, one Mr. Courtney Gillian of Washington, D. C. This fact interested but few of the casual, careless read ers of Jacksonville's afternoon paper, nor did a further explanation of Mr. Gillian's arrival cause more than a slight ripple of interest; and that only among those few directly concerned. There was nothing startling in the reason that brought Mr. Courtney Gillian to the city; for, as the M etropoh's account advised, he had come to participate in a chess tournament at the local Chess, Checker and Whist Club. The only actual bit of information in the article was the fact that Mr. Gillian had been a runner-up in the last tourney for the Amateur Chess Championship of America.
