Introduction
The sixth annual intercollegiate tournament between students of Columbia, Harvard, Yale, and Princeton will begin at the Columbia Grammar School, 34 and 36 East Fifty-first street, this afternoon at 2 o'clock.(1)

Notes
Round 1: G. R. Jacobus of Columbia had to take the place of Seward, who failed to appear.(2)

Round 4: When play was called at 2 o'clock Dana of Princeton had not arrived. His substitute, Carter, happened to be present and the latter was allowed to take Dana's board, although by the strict letter of the rules the sudden substitution was not permissible.(3)

Preceded by 5th Intercollegiate Cup, New York (1896/97).
Followed by 7th Intercollegiate Cup, New York (1898).
