Incomplete record. This archive holds 10 games of this event; the others are missing, and the number played is not established. Ten scores are available here; further published games are missing, and awarded draws prevent a verified played-game total.
Rudolf Loman won the summer tournament at Simpson’s Divan with 7½ credited points. Louis van Vliet followed on seven, ahead of Henry Bird and James Mortimer.
Two tournaments in one year
The summer and autumn competitions had nearly the same field. Francis Lee played in summer; Rolland took his place in autumn. Their game scores belong to separate tournaments.
The contemporary reports distinguish the final credited standings from the games actually played: some late pairings between players outside the prize places were awarded draws. Ten scores are available here, including Bird’s wins over Tinsley and Fenton.
