  MissScarlett: (London) Daily News, August 8th 1891, p.3:

<CHESS AT THE GERMAN EXHIBITION.

Yesterday afternoon Herr Lasker played a number of games, winning them all, making his score 79 wins and 1 draw. In the evening he played a special game for a small stake with Mr. Gibbons. The score of this game is appended. On the 18th move Mr. Gibbons had to relinquish a pawn, but playing very well he recovered the pawn with a considerable advantage in position. His attack gradually became stronger. On his 29th move he succeeded in doubling his rooks on the seventh file, and losing a piece on his 34th move the German Master's game seemed hopelessly lost. But his opponent let a certain victory slip from his grasp. He gave way in an unaccountable manner and left a piece en-prise on his 45th move. Lasker then made a rush with a passed pawn, and succeeded in obtaining a winning advantage on his 60th (50th?) move. The game caused considerable excitement among the spectators. It occupied over three hours in playing. To-night at 7.45 Herr Lasker wil play against twenty players simultaneously.>

The score ends <and Black won> so the game may have continued awhile.
