Event table notes

Event data
Name: City of London Club Handicap
Place: London, England
Start date: Oct. 1877
End date: Apr. 1878
 
Notes:
Only partial results available. Zavatarelli give all the first round players and results except that in most cases we don't know the handicap class of the loser, so we cannot include them. For only four of the first round matches do we have full information, the first four listed here. In the second and subsequent rounds, we have all the pairings and odds classes, but in most cases no scores. Where the score is not known, I give 1-0 for the winner. In the third round, it is not clear whether Harris or Manning won, because in the fourth round Potter's opponent is given as 'Harris or Manning', pending an outcome for that game, so I don't include either Harris-Manning or Potter's fourth round pairing.
