   | Notes: |  
   | According to the Brooklyn Chess Chronicle of 15 Aug. 1887 (vol.5, p.162), C.O. Wilcox was originally a participant, but he withdrew 'in the early stage of the contest'. He lost a game to W.B. Knight, but which other games he played are not recorded, so I do not include his loss to Knight here. The final scores do not include any games against Wilcox. |  |  |  |
