In the second frame, Stout was in a handy position and potted all the colours to win the game. Playing against A. Phillips, McConachy conceded six blacks (42 points), in each frame. There was little between the two players, in the first frame, until half-way, when Phillips struck form, and, like Stout, potted all the colours to win. In their second frame, they were again an even match, McConachy being the winner.
