The American team wins the Anglo-American cable match for the second consecutive year with the score 6–4. The top board game between Harry Pillsbury (USA) and Joseph Henry Blackburne (UK) is a draw as is the second board between Jackson Showalter (USA) and Francis Joseph Lee (UK). US Champion Frank Marshall loses a drawn game due to a time-keeping error. The US fails to start Marshall's clock when he cables a draw offer on his move, and Marshall loses on time. (The proper procedure is to transmit a move along with the draw offer to start the opponent's clock.)
