Played at the White Swan Hotel, Halifax, on the evening of Wednesday, 16/03/1870, over 7 boards, 3 games per board (time permitting).
The report in the Bradford Observer of Friday, 18/03/1870, stated that Bradford won twelve games, that Halifax won five games, that two games were drawn, and that two games were left unfinished.

* There was a complete blank in the “Drawn” column for board 7, but that was presumably where the second draw belonged, as boards 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 had dashes in the “Drawn” column.
