The name of the newspaper is given as printed on the title page. It was often shortened to Holloway Press.
The first two prizes were donated from the Löwenthal Bequest by Mr. Medley.
The judge donated the third prize.
Seventeen problems by 12 composers were sent in. Of these, seven
were found to be defective. While no solution
tourney had been considered, solvers were encouraged to send opinions and
faults.
Before handing the problems and author's solutions over to the judge, the
chess editor copied them, thinking it better that the originals should
not come into his possession, so that he may be in ignorance as to whose
composition he may be examining.
One of the sent-in problem (Accipe hoc) has not be found among the
published problems; it was confirmed (on 1879-07-19) to have remained unpublished
due to its simplicity and lack of a solution. The judge did not mention how many
problems he found to be faulty.
