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 (né Arthur Emlen Newbold; 1859â1920) beat Arthur Rives and Stevens 6â5 and 6â2. Like in the singles competition, except for the final, each match was played on the best of three sets.
