Played at the Talbot Hotel, Bradford, on Saturday, 09/02/1884, over 14 boards, 2 games per board (time permitting).
At close of play, at 9.00 p.m., the score was 10½‑10½, with the first game on board 1 still in progress. In that unfinished game the Bradford player was a pawn down and had the weaker pawns. This unfinished game was adjudicated in favour of the Leeds player, making Leeds the winning team. The Leeds Mercury of 16/02/1884 reported the result of this match as follows:
@ = adjudicated unfinished game * The report in the Sheffield & Rotherham Independent of 23/03/1884 seemed to spell it “Hoytefus”.
The identities of the players would appear to be as follows:
(* The distinction between a Schott senior and a Schott junior makes in unclear which two gentlemen are concerned.)
