Played at the Y.M.C.A. Huddersfield,
on Saturday, 19/04/1884,
over 12 boards, 2 games per board (time permitting)
This match clearly
showed that strength of the once-mighty Huddersfield Chess Club had
significantly waned, while that of new Bradford Exchange (soon to be merged
with the old Bradford club) was in the ascendant. Since Bradford
Exchange had won its last match with Leeds, at Leeds, it had a fair claim to
be the strongest cub in Yorkshire. The results of this match were
reported by the Leeds Mercury of 26/04/1884 as follows:
