New Zealand Mail 5 October 1878
The Chess Club met as usual on Monday evening last. Owing to the inclemency of the weather the attendance was not large. The principle interest of the evening was a game between Herr Ott, the new professional member, and Mr. Barraud, the professor giving odds of a knight. The game was a long, well contested, and interesting one, but eventually was won by the professor. (Ott)
