Event table notes

Event data
Name: 3rd Canadian Chess Association Congress
Place: Montreal
Start date: 7 July 1874
End date: July 1874
 
Notes:
The Toronto Globe of 17 Jul. 1874 (p.3) says that the Congress opened on 7 Jul. 1874, but playe began on 8 Jul. 1874. The Montreal Witness of Sat. 11 Jul. 1874 (p.3) says that it opened on Wednesday (8 Jul. 1874). The Toronto Globe of July 17, 1874 (p.3), indicates that the final games had not yet been played. The Montreal Witness of 21 Jul. 1874 (p.3) says that some of the players had already left, but tournament games between Montreal players were still being played. I assume the tournament finished in July, though the final results were not given until the Globe of Sept. 9. The Illustrated London News of Aug. 15 gives a report on the tournament before completion, but this report may have been written considerably earlier, given time for mail to arrive in London from Montreal.
