| Notes: |
| This was a 14-player knockout tournament. In the first round, Holden beat Drey by default. After the first round, there were 7 winners and Holden and Case played to determine the 6 players to go on to the second round. After the second round, 3 players remained, and Foster and Lane played off to determine who would play in the final against Case. The Semi-Weekly Spectator of 30 Oct. 1858 (p.3) says the tournament will start 1 Nov. 1858. The Semi-Weekly Spectator of 3 Nov. 1858 (p.2) says it started 'yesterday'. The final results are reported in the 4 Dec. 1858 issue of the Semi-Weekly Spectator, so I am guessing that it ended in the first few days of December. |
