Event table notes

Event data
Name: Brooklyn Club Championship
Place: New York
Start date: 26 Nov. 1895
End date: 10 Mar. 1896
 
Notes:
Turner forfeited to Finlay. Neither Taber nor Tatum showed up for their game, so it was also not played. According to the crosstable at chessgames.com, Showalter played and finished only 4 games, a loss to Morphy, and wins over Helms, Souweine, and Taber. Two other games were adjourned, against Rocamora and Elwell, but perhaps never finished, since Showalter withdrew from the tournament.
