From the Harvard Crimson:

The eighth inter-university cable chess match between Harvard, Princeton, Cornell and Pennsylvania on one side, and Oxford and Cambridge Universities on the other, will be played today from Houston Hall, Philadelphia. The American team will begin play this morning at 10, which, on account of the difference in time between this country and England, makes the English team begin play at 3 P. M. Each man will play one game, at the rate of 25 moves an hour, with a man representing the English team. The country winning the majority of games will win the challenge cup, which has been held by Oxford for the past three years. The match last year resulted in a draw, each side winning two games. The other two games were drawn.

William Harold Hughes and Isaac Ash represented UPenn
Louis Jacob Wolff and Henry Blumberg (note spelling) represented Columbia
Charles Williams represented Princeton
K.S. Johnson represented Harvard

According to the match summary ((www.365chess.com/tournaments/Anglo_American_Intercollegia...) Williams and Wolff won their matches, Blumberg, Johnson and Ash managed draws, so the Americans won 3 1/2 to 2 1/2.

The Royal Hanneford Circus is an American-based touring family circus. With origins dating back to 1690, it has been called the oldest circus in the world.[1] The family first performed as a traveling troupe in 1807. In 1903, the family began its own circus as the "Hanneford Royal Canadian Circus" and in their early seasons toured the British Isles and Continental Europe en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Hanneford_Circus
