   | Notes: |  
   | The 15 Feb. 1882 issue of the Chess Player's Chronicle says Mackenzie gave a simultaneous exhibition on 28 Dec. 1881, while visiting New Orleans and that he played this series of 12 games with Maurian during the same visit, with result +7-3=2 for Mackenzie. I guess that they took place in Dec. 1881, though they might have extended into Jan. 1882. |  |  |  |
