Notes
Ettlinger was forced due to illness to forfeit his last two games, Round 8 against Delmar and Round 9 against Showalter. A dispatch from him read: Let Delmar and Showalter score. I have to defend La Grippa (Russian influenza) at home. These were the only forfeits in the tournament. The 2nd City Chess Club Tournament (1894) was also held in New York City next autumn. Credit

| Dec-14-14 | | GoldenBird: Pillsbury easily won this. He had little to no competition. |

 | | FSR: I disagree with <GoldenBird>'s characterization. This was a strong tournament. Pillsbury suffered two losses, and only won by a point. Almost a year later, some of the same players, plus Steinitz, played in the 2nd City Chess Club Tournament (1894). Pillsbury only got an even score in that one. |

 | | Sally Simpson: Hi FSR,
I doubt if Golden Bird will answer you, they have not been seen since 2015. I'll talk to you. Pillsbury knocked back at perpetual in one of his losses. Moves 38-42 Pillsbury vs A Ettlinger, 1893 A few rounds later his opponent withdrew with 'Russian Influenza' (what ever that is - an uncontrollable desire to invade and absorb other countries? ) 3 draws from 49 games! But as I said, in hindsight it could have/should have been 4 draws. |

 | | offramp: After Albin vs Pillsbury, 1893 (0-1} was won by the good old doughboy (Pillsbury), Adolf Albin pocketed a crumpled red portrait of Grover Cleveland and he went straight down to the sweetshop. |

| | offramp: Jackson Whipps Showalter was delighted with his prize of thirty (30) dollars bearing the likeness of the great Alexander H. Stephens. He wanted to buy a farm. |
