<Introduction>
The third grand tournament of the Massachusetts Chess Association will be held at the rooms of the Boston Chess Club, 33 Pemberton square, next Wednesday evening. Members entering this tournament will be divided into four classes and handicapped according to the judgment of the committees. The general tournament will open by the members of each class drawing lots for opponents and playing one game on even terms. The winners of this round will again draw and continue play on even terms and so on until but two winners in each class remain. These two winners will then contest one game, and the victor will be entitled to enter the major handicap tourney. The loser will also be entitled to enter the minor handicap tourney. Play will then proceed in the major and minor tourney, each contestant, handicapped according to the rules, playing one game with every other player. There will be two general prizes. The first will be awarded to the winner of the most games in the major tourney; the second to the winner of the most games in the minor. Draw games will count one-half to each player. [(1)]
For the past three years the 22d of February has been made the special date of meeting of chess players throughout the United States. Yesterday the chess associatious (sic; associations) of some eighteen States held grand tournaments, and during the entire day and evening several thousand chess champions of greater or less reputation strove with each other for glory and prizes. In accordance with an invitation of the Boston Chess Club, the members of the Massachusetts Chess Association assembled at the club rooms in Pemberton square early yesterday morning and prepared for the third grand tournament of the organization. About 100 gentlemen, representing all sections of the State, were present, and among the spectators were Captain O. E. Macaelis (sic; Michaelis) and Major J. Moore Hanham of New York. At 10 o'clock the tourney was declared opened and play began. The contestants were divided into four classes, and the members of each class were to play three games together on even terms. [(2)]
The winners in the respective classes were then transferred to the major handicap tourney, viz.: First class, Preston Ware; second class, H. M. King; third class, J. W. Ward; fourth class, J. C. Kelsey. [(2)]
Those players having the next best scores were transferred to the minor handicap tourney, viz.: First class, C. F. Burville (sic; Burille), second E. L. Drezel (sic; Dresel); third class, Judge B. F. Burham; fourth class, Dr. W. L. Faxon. [(2)]
In these tourneys the first class gave odds of pawn and two moves, knight and rook; second class, pawn and two moves and knight; third class pawn and two moves. [(2)]
A committee consisting of Messrs. Snow, Ware and Young is to decide on the most brilliant game, which will be awarded a special prize of $2, presented by Henry J. Miller. [(3)]
<Note>
It is unclear how Burnham and Howe resolved their tie in the 3rd Class Section tournament. It is also unclear how Daniels was able to become Faxon's substitute in the Minor Section tournament being that he didn't compete in a Class Section. <Sources>

Meeting of the Yorkshire Chess Association.
The third meeting and dinner of this excellent association took place at the Northgate Hotel, in this town, on Wednesday. The large room was appropriately fitted up for the occasion; being divided by mahogany posts and rails, and crimson curtains, into two unequal parts. In the lesser part the "tournament" commenced soon after ten o'clock, and continued (with the intermission of lunch) until five. The meeting was well attended, being both numerous and comprising many eminent Yorkshire players. From 12 to 15 chess-boards were almost continually engaged; and the keen encounter of skill, amongst so many excellent players, in many cases pitted against each other for the first-time, could not fail to be interesting and instructive to all who love and practice the noble game.
Amongst the gentlemen present we noticed the following:—M. R. Francis, Esq., principal of King's College, Hull. — Mawe, Esq., Creole, G. B. Wagner, Esq., Hamburgh. Messrs. R. Cadman, J. M. France, H. Richardson, J. G. Heaps, and J. Hopkinson, of the Leeds club; and Mr. J. Rhodes, its secretary. Rev. E. C. Tyson, A.M., president, Mr. C. Walker, secretary, and the Rev. R. Garvey, A.M. and Messrs. E. Shepherd, W. Allison, and W. Robinson, of the Wakefield Chess Club. Mr. Thomas Parratt, president, Mr. A. Marsden, treasurer, Mr. W. Mann, secretary, and Messrs. Josh. Brierley, J. H. Kilner, G. Simpson, W. H. Kaye, and T. Hill, of the Huddersfield Chess Club. And W. Briggs, Esq., Mr. F. W. Cronhlem, president, Mr. F. A. Leyland, secretary, and Messrs. Holroyde, W. Craven, M. H. Rankin, — Forbes, F. A. Walsh, and other members of the Halifax club.
Soon after five o'clock (the hour fixed for the dinner) the gentlemen adjourned into the larger part of the room, the walls of which had been tastefully decorated with flags and banners, whilst the tables groaned with the superabundance of all the edibles in season, provided in the customary profusion, and cooked with the customary nicety, of the worthy host and hostess at "The Northgate." The scene at this moment was most exhilarating; gentlemen of both parties in politics, and all parties in religion, being seated together around the festive board, surrounded by party flags—the blue banner slumbering in graceful inactivity by the side of its equally harmless yellow opponent—whilst the supporters of each were forgetting their animosities in the social meal as they had done in the friendly tournament.
The chair was taken by W. Briggs, Esq., supported on each hand by the Rev. E. C. Tyson and the Rev. R. Garvey; and having fr this vice-presidents, M. R. Francis, Esq., and F. Cronhelm, Esq. The cloth having been drawn, the Chairman, on behalf of the Halifax Chess Club, offered a most cordial welcome to all present.

<Introduction>
Open to members of the profession of the Church, Law, Medicine, Army, and Navy; the prize consisting of the works of the Poet Laureate and the President of the B.C.A., with his autograph inscription. [(1)]
Tennyson Competition (open to members of the professions of the church, law, medicine, army, and navy). The competition begins to-day. [(2)]
Tennyson Competition (open to members of the Professions of the Church, Law, Medicine, the Army, and Navy.)—This competition was continued on Saturday, with the following results:—Total wins: Bottomley 1½, Cadman 0, Dodd 0, Foster ½, Hussey 3½, Newham ½, Macmaster —, Wilmot 0. [(3)]
This competition was continued yesterday, but only one game was played—Macmaster 1 v Wilmot 0. The score now stands thus:—Total wins—Bottomley, 1½, Cadman 0, Dodd 0, Foster ½, Hussey 3½, Newham ½, Macmaster 1, Wilmot 0. [(4)]
In the Tennyson Competition, which is confined to members of the professions of the Church, Law, Medicine, and Army and Navy, a few games remain to be played, but they are all between local players, and will doubtless be speedily concluded. The Rev W. L. Newham and Messrs R. M. Macmaster and E. B. Hussey are at present leading, and the prize—the works of the Poet-Laureate with his autograph inscription—will in all probability fall to one of them. [(5)]
The International Chess Tournament having concluded, to-day the consultation match between representatives of England and Germany will take place, the Amateur Championship will be decided, and the Tennyson competition concluded. [(6)]
<Conclusion>
The Tennyson Competition, the prize for which is the complete works of Tennyson, was won by Mr. R. M. Macmaster (Bradford), who, on Monday, defeated Mr. Bottomley. [(7)]
The Tennyson competition was won by Mr R. M. Macmaster, of Bradford. [(8)]
<Last Known Cross Table>
The following is the last published cross table for this event. [(9)] The mostly likely conclusion to this event is that Cadman and Dodd withdrew from the competition, leaving Macmaster vs Bottomely and Bottomely vs Wilmot as the only two games left to be played. After Macmaster beat Bottomely [(7)] the contest for Tennyson's prize was over and Bottomely vs Wilmot became a moot point and was probably left unplayed. table[

<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)]
A Consultation Game was played between Birmingham and Bristol, the former club being represented by Mr. Halford and Mr. Breese, and the latter by Mr. Burt and Mr. Cook. The game was drawn. [(2)]
<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. <Sources>

<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.

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.)
]table
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)]

The whole of the games were decided in two hours, and all of them were won by Mr. Löwenthal. [(1)]
______
Much interest was manifested in eleven games which were played simultaneously by Herr Lowenthal. While the eleven players pitted against him sat at the boards on one side of the table, Herr Lowenthal promenaded the room on the other, making his moves, after a momentary glance at each board, with the rapidity and precision of a player of long practice and experience. The players who competed with Herr Lowenthal were Mr C. Boorne, Mr Sanders, Mr Elliott, Mr J. W. Clarke, Mrs Vivian, Mr G. Harding, J. W. Clarke, jun., J. Stone, Mr Cleland, Miss Rossiter, Mr Thomas. Mr Cleland and Mr Harding were the first to lose their games, in about three-quarters of an hour after commencing, and one by one Herr Lowenthal's opponents succumbed to his powerful attack, till, an hour and a half after the commencement, Mr Elliott and Miss Rossiter were the only two whose games were unfinished. These occupied about half an hour longer, and at length they were also concluded in favour of Herr Lowenthal. Mr Elliott played a very good game, and was the last to yield to his skilful antagonist.

When play had continued nearly two hours, Herr Lowenthal lost his first game to Miss Holesgrove, and the game which he played with Mr. Philips was drawn. After two hours' play Mr Vines, who played a very good game the previous night, succeeded in winning a game. The remaining eleven were won by Herr Lowenthal. [(2)]

<Synopsis>
Manhattan Chess Club.—Our contributor F. M. Teed writes of this club's handicap: "Mr. De Visser of Class I. has played all his games, and is sure of first prize. C. B. Isaacson of Class II. will probably win second; I will then get third, and Messrs. D. G. or J. W. Baird of Class I. and G. Simonson of Class II. will take fourth and fifth prizes.—J. W. B., probably, just failing to get the latter. There are several games yet to be played, but they are not likely to change the above. [(2)]
The five prizes, aggregating $100, were divided as follows: First prize, $35; second, $25; third $18; fourth, $12, and fifth $10. [(3)] The annual banquet of the Manhattan Chess Cub was held last Monday evening, and the prizes won in the recent handicap tourney were formally presented to the victors. Mr. De Visser, upon receiving first prize humorously remarked that he felt like the Irish jockey who, after many unlucky mounts, finally won a race, and exclaimed, "Begorra, I'm first at last; sure, I was always last at first." The special prize offered by Mr. Charles A. Gilerg, for the best game in the tourney, was won by Mr. F. M. Teed. [(4)] In addition to taking the third prize, Mr. F. M. Teed also captured the special prize for the best game, Captain Mackenzie, judge. The game in question was won from Mr. De Visser. [(5)]
Teed won the special best game prize for W DeVisser vs F Teed, 1881.
