Note: James Ferrie and James Wyllie's 1894 match consisted of both GAYP and Two-Move Restriction games.

Note: Rather than having the 5th Mail-Play World Championship, Alfred Huggins retired, and a tournament was arranged to decide the new Champion, which Riley won. He then forfeited to Johnson (Canada) on ill health, who in turn forfeited to Richard Fortman on ill health in 1980.
