Leamington, England (26-29 October 1881)
MacDonnell 1st
Payne 2nd
Introduction
A displacement Tourney—King and Queen of the first player transpose—was arranged as a consolation for the losers in the first round of the handicap. It was won by the Rev. Mr. Macdonnell. (1)
The losers in the above round now formed the Second Division, and played for the Displacement Prize, value £2 2s., given by Mr. Cutler, one of the Local Secretaries and in other ways a most liberal supporter of the Association. (2)
In the Displacement Tourney it was mentioned that full details had not been supplied. Mr. MacDonnell having won the First Prize, I am now enabled to add that the Second fell to Mr. W. F. Payne of Abingdon. (3)
