Clifton, England (7 August 1873) As announced yesterday morning, another exhibition of simultaneous play by Mr. Löwenthal took place in the evening, when ten strong amateurs presented themselves in opposition to the great master, namemly:—
1. Mr. Breese Fianchetto di Donna.
2. Mr. Cleland King's Gambit Refused.
3. Mr. Lonsdale* Giuoco Piano.
4. Miss Bethell King Knight's Gambit.
5. Mrs. Vivian Max Lange's Attack.
6. Mr. Lewis King's Gambit Refused.
7. Mr. D. Vines Ruy Lopez Knight's Game.
8. Mr. I. W. Clarke, jun. King Bishop's Gambit.
9. Mr. Buckle Vienna Opening.
10. Mr. Sanders Ruy Lopez Knight's Game.
(* Mr. Boorne commenced this game, but retired after making a few
moves, being called upon to play a match game in the Handicap Tourny.)
As on Wednesday, Mr. Löwenthal scored every game. (1)

At a quarter to nine o'clock last night Herr Lowenthal gave another of his very pleasing entertainments, by playing ten games simultaneously. His opponents were Mr J. Sanders, Mr Buckle, Mr Lewis, Isaiah W. Clarke, jun., Mr D. Vines, Mr Lewis, Mrs Vivian, Mr C. Boorne, J. Cleland, Mr Breese (Birmingham), and Miss Bethel. Herr Lowenthal accomplished his first checkmate an hour and a half after commencement. He made a bod and well-supported invasion with his queen into the territory of his opponent, Mr Breese, and that gentleman, being unable to withstand the attack, surrendered. All the games concluded in Herr Lowenthal's favour shortly afterwards, with the exception of that played by Mr David Vines, who, when the other games had been finished, was in possession of a bishop, a knight, and four pawns, opposed to Herr Lowenthal's two knights and six pawns. Herr Lowenthal's knights stood side by side, occupying a very strong position, and Mr Vines, to effect a separation, exchanged the bishop for one of the knights. Shortly afterwards, however, he was compelled to exchange knights, and the preponderance of pawns decided the game in Herr Lowenthal's favour. As on Wednesday night, Herr Lowenthal thus won every game. (2)
