| Notes: |
| The Field gives scores for only the top three prize-winners, but also lists Meikle, Dr. Smith and Duke, saying the won 'the other three prizes'. The Edinburgh Evening News of 30 Jun. 1874 (p.2) lists only four prize-winners, Dr James Frazer, Colonel J.A. Robertson, John Macfie, and C. Meikle. The three scores given are out of 15, and I am guessing that this was a 6-player triple-round all-play-all tournament. The 1873 event was a triple-round all-play-all, and if the 1874 tournament was a single-round all-play-all with 16 players, the average of the remaining 13 players would be 6.88, which seems unlikely. If a 6-player triple-round all-play-all, the average score of the remaining 3 would be 4.83, which seems much more likely. |
