   | Notes: |  
   | Spinrad lists the Hammond-Ware matches under the year 1859, citing the Albion of 23 Apr. 1859. Fiske, however, gives the date of these matches as Feb. 1858. The result of this rook-odds portion is given in the New York Clipper of 6 and 13 Mar. 1858 as +5-0 but the draw may have been considered not to count. |  |  |  |
