Event table notes

| Event data |
| Name: 1st New South Wales - Victoria Telegraphic Match |
| Place: Sydney and Melbourne |
| Start date: 9 Nov. 1870 |
| End date: 9 Nov. 1870 |
| |
| Notes: |
| Staunton in the Illustrated London News says that the player named Stanley in this event is 'the well-known ex-champion of the United States' but OzBase gives John Shaw Stanley not Charles Henry Stanley. The game Fisher-Pendrill involved a mistransmitted move at move 22 which led to a controversy and a decision to declare the game a draw. |
