   | Name: Saint Louis Tournament |  
   | Place: Saint Louis |  
   | Start date: Nov. 1859 |  
   | End date:   Mar. 1860 |  |  |  
   | Notes: |  
   | Only partial results available. This was a knockout tournament, presumably of 8 players. The reports in the New York Clipper allow us to deduce who beat who in the second round, but not by what scores, so I use 1-0 to be conservative. No odds are mentioned so I presume all players played even. |  |  |  |
