Notes:
The crosstable given in the Brooklyn Daily Eagle of 4 Feb. 1873 (p.3) has a score of +2-1 for van Wagner against Phillips. Van Winsen's crosstable shows +1-1 for van Wagner against Phillips. It was intended as a two-round all-play-all, but many games were left unplayed. Van Winsen gives the classes of six first-class players and four second-class players, and says that the class of the remaining players is not known. The remaining players are H.B. White, A.S. Gibson, W.B. Davis, N. Seaver, and A. Thompson. I will guess that all five of these were in the third class, though there is some possibility that some might have been in the second class.
