Event table notes

Event data
Name: City of London Club Handicap
Place: London, England
Start date: Jan. 1876
End date: 1876
 
Notes:
Only partial results available. This was a 32-player handicap knockout tournament. Zavatarelli and Renette give the names of all 32 players, and their second round pairings, but the odds class is known only for Potter and Beardsell, who met in the third round. Beardsell won that encounter, but by what score is not given, so I adopt a soft result of 1-0.
