  GrahamClayton: Schmidt was one of the best players in the Manhattan Chess Club. In 1901 he played an 8 game match against Emanual Lasker.

Here is an article with his game against HG Voight in the 1897 New York versus Philadelphia telegraph match:

  wwall: Louis Schmidt won the Manhattan Chess Club championship in 1896.
May-24-15  thomastonk: A possible starting point for more research:

In an American article on the tournament in New York 1893 he was called "Ludwig Schmidt, the violin virtuoso". In scores of some compositions and a concert announcement, his name is given as "Louis Schmidt" or "Louis Schmidt, Jr."
