Event data
Name: Manhattan Club Handicap Tournament
Place: New York
Start date:
End date: 29 May 1899
 
Notes:
The scores of 11 players are given, but are out of 14 points, which suggests a 15-player single-round all-play-all. It may be that the other 4 players did not complete their games, but their scores were counted for the 11 who did finish. The odds for the 4 classes are not specified; I will guess that they were on the most usual scale: Pawn and Move, Pawn and Two Moves, and Knight.
