Indeed the match ended in a tie after the tournament in Murray Hills, but it wasn't the final challenge for the trophy, which remained in the custody of the association for a year. You'll find the truth and finality of the Zeitung Cup in these clippings from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.

Two more tournaments were played for possession of the Cup and Lipschutz won it for the Manhattan Chess Club in 1898 (Grove Spring, Keuka Lake, NY) outclassing Frank Marshall and repeating his performance in 1899 (Saratoga Springs, NY) permanently securing the trophy for his club.

And too late for the Cup, Marshall made a show at Thousand, Islands, the next year; beginning his road to greater things.

Hopefully, this helps clear up the confusion and it seems that the Historical Society of Pennsylvania has Shipley's photos from Murray Hills, 1897; available in his scrapbooks.
Grazie!!!! Davvero, e l'unica cosa (che è un altro mistero e che riguarda lo Staats zeitung Trophy) è che nel 1899 ho trovato un'altra coppa che venne messa in palio durante l evento del mid summer, la Martinez Cup, della quale poi si sono perse le tracce :-)
