Source: Riverine Grazier, 3 July 1891, p.2 col.8, though totals for Lakeman and Wilkinson had clearly been transposed. SMH did not print final figures, but similar result to these can be calculated by taking results published SMH 3 July 1891, p.5 col.7, and adding extra booth reported 4 July, p.7 col.8.
