played in the Lecture Hall of the Athenaeum, Princess Street, Manchester, on Saturday 18/04/1896, over 25 boards.
Up to about 6.30 it had looked as though Yorkshire would win the match, but then a rush of wins for Cheshire turned to table conclusively in Cheshire’s favour. Play ceased at 7.15, and the teams dined together, and during the speeches the usual aspiration that the event become an annual event was voiced by I. M. Brown, Yorkshire Chess Association secretary and match captain.
As ever, there was no indication in the reported results of who moved first.
@ indicates result by adjudication of unfinished game.
The services of adjudicator were performed by Daniel Yarnton Mills then of Edinburgh, but previously of Lytham, Lancs, and before that of Leeds.
