1881-08-13: winners of solving tourney
1881-09-03: awards, votes
N:
14 competing solvers solved all problems correctly, and were requested to vote for
the three best problems.
13 competitors participated with 21 problems, of which 13 problems by seven composers
received at least one vote from the judges.
One judge had lost the papers containing six of the problems, but voted for the three best
in what remained. The sum of all votes produced a four-way tie for the first place, and the
prizes, announced to be three in number, were presumably adjusted accordingly and
divided between the four winners.
