Event table notes

Event data
Name: 7th American Chess Congress - Minor Tournament
Place: Saint Louis
Start date: 3 Oct. 1904
End date: 8 Oct. 1904
 
Notes:
This was also the 5th Western Chess Association Tournament and the 5th USA Open Championship. Gaige has 'Magnus Smith' here; Di Felice has 'Smith, Magnus Magnusson; chessgames.com has 'Harsen Darwin Smith'. Hilbert, and the American Chess Bulletin of Oct. 1904 (p.89), have 'Judge Harsen D. Smith'. Hilbert, in his biography of Kemeny (p.286) cites the Kansas Star of 9 Oct. 1904 describing the final outcome, so I guess that the event ended on 8 Oct. 1904.
