ONE of the founders of the Adelaide Chess Club, and a clever exponent of the game, arrived in the colony in 1855, and entered into partnership with Mr. McFarlane Heriot as a general merchant. He left this in 1 868, and was for some years engaged in general agency business and as secretary to several companies. He was for nine years connected in this capacity with the Southern Insurance Company, and resigned in 1884 through failing health. His death took place at East Adelaide, August 3, 1885, in his 53rd year.
