Final
The final tie in the Richardson Cup was played at Glasgow on Saturday, 18th January, between the Glasgow Chess Club and the Edinburgh Chess Club and resulted in favour of Glasgow by 3½ to 1½, so that the latter now becomes the holder of the Cup for the second time. The Edinburgh Club was heavily handicapped this year by the absence of Messrs. D.Y. Mills, Dr Macdonald, and E. Macdonald.
