Event table notes

Event data
Name: 10th Yorkshire County Chess Club Meeting - Class A
Place: Halifax, Yorkshire
Start date: 19 Jan. 1895
End date: 27 Jan. 1895
 
Notes:
Only partial results available. This was to be a 16-player knock-out tournament, the first two rounds to be held on the day of the event and later rounds afterwards. G.E. Ward defaulted in the first round to A.W. Common. In round two, the game between T.A. Guy and F.H. Wright was adjudicated, but Steve Mann's website does not give the result of this adjudication, nor does he have results of subsequent rounds. The result of the adjudication is given in the 28 Jan. 1895 Leeds Mercury (p.3). I am presuming that it is the elder Seth Ward who played at this event, though it might have been the younger.
