Clifton, England (8 August 1873)

A consultation game between Messrs Burt and Cook, of Bristol, and Messrs Halford and Kempson, of Birmingham, was carried on during the evening, lasting from a quarter to eight till a quarter past eleven. Communication between the two boards was established by means of a juvenile messenger, who carried from one end of the room to the other the paper upon which the moves were marked. The game resulted in a draw. (1)

Notes
It is unclear if one of the sources is mistaken about Halford's partner or if one participant had replaced the other during the course of the game.
