According to [1], the tournament took place in the Masonic Temple in Hotel Cecil, from 13:00 until 17:00 and then from 19:00 until 23:00. Mrs. Hook was a reserve player – she replaced Mrs. Foot from New York who failed to show up. [2] gives quite a few games as well as the crosstable. However, in the latter there are a incompatibilities which I have tried to straighten out.

Wanted:

  •  Almost all games.
  • The first names of Sterling Berry, Gooding, Watson, Sidney, Eschwege, Müller-Hartung, Forbes-Sharpe and De la Vingne.
