Conclusion
We append a table of the scores, from which it resulted that, in Class 1, the 1st prize fell to Mr Jenkin (sic) of Glasgow, the 2d to Professor Wayte, and the 3d to Mr Thorold; the fourth was left undecided between Messrs. Yarranton, Halford (sic; Minchin) and Pierpont, but on being played out afterwards, was won by Mr Yarranton. Messrs. Skipworth and Ranken, having been unable to play out their games, had their scores cancelled.
First Class Tourney.
Won Lost Drawn
Yarranton 5 4 1
Fisher 2 7 0
Skipworth 3 5 0
Minchin 3 4 3
Ranken 2 4 1
Thorold 7 3 0
Wayte 6 1 2
Martin 3 7 1
Coker 5 5 1
Halford 4 3 2
Pierpoint 4 6 1
Jenkin 7 1 2
Drawn games counting half a game to each opponent, it will be seen that Mr Jenkin's total score was 8, Mr Wayte's 7, and Mr Thorold's 7. The cancelling of Mr Skipworth's games, however, reduced Messrs Jenkin's and Thorold's scores each by one. This left Messrs. Jenkin and Wayte equal, and on the tie being played off, Mr Jenkin was victorious. (1)
