Draw

The draw is for the most part unknown. It seems to have consisted of four rounds. In the first round, Clark and Taylor defeated Smith and Crawford Nightingale. In a second match, Alexander Van Rensselaer and Arthur Newbold beat Arthur Rives and Stevens 6–5 and 6–2. Like in the singles competition, except for the final, each match was played on the best of three sets.

gollark: R4 is not preemptive. That is not a reasonable way to interpret it.
gollark: COMMUNIST REVOLUTION BUT NOT COMMUNIST! !DEPOSE!KAMILA!ESTABLISH!ALTERNATIVE!GOVERNANCE!
gollark: ... no.
gollark: Nobody is being irreversibly murdered.
