Synopsis
Another tournament was arranged, the players being Mr. Asken (sic; Askew), Mr. Pilkington, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Bateson Wood, Mr. Simon, Dr. Hewitt, and the Rev. G. Sumner. In the first round Dr. Hewitt, who received the odds of pawn and two moves, beat Mr. Asken (sic), and the Rev. G. Sumner, who as accorded the same advantage from Mr. Mitchell, was thrown out. Mr. Wilson gave a pawn and move to Mr. Pilkington and beat him, and Mr. Bateson Wood defeated Mr. Simon. Play will be resumed this morning and continued till noon, when play will be brought to a conclusion. The games not concluded then will be played off on some future occasion. (2)
Conclusion
A third handicap tournament was started, but was not completed. Mr. Bateson Wood has to play Dr. Hewitt in the last round but one, and the winner will have to play Mr. Wilson for the first and second prizes. These gentlemen are all local players, and will probably meet during the present week. (3)
