Different folk
The Old Judge card you showed is of James McQuaid, a player with the Denver team. We know of 4 poses of this player. The umpire was John (Jack) McQuaid, who has only 1 known Old Judge pose. As for Fessenden, he has a 4th pose, standing with arms at his side. All this information is readily available in the seminal tome The Photographic Baseball Cards of the Goodwin & Company (1886-1890) by hobby scholars Jay Miller, Joe Gonsowski and Richard Masson.

Hello Bob!
Owen, Jack McQuaid is a tough N172 card. Jack's card was first issued in 1888 with a nameplate that reads "JACK McQUAID, Umpire American Association" and then re-issued in 1889 with an updated nameplate that read simply "McQUAID, Umpire" but he was then working the NL circuit (league change between 1888 & 1889). The Denver player is actually Mortimer Martin "Mart" McQuaid (not James). This is a correction to the book due to fine research by Scot Reader. Back to Umpire McQuaid, he is also shown on OJ card 309-4; posed behind Chippy McGarr (not my card).

Bob is way to kind. He has forgotten more than we will ever know. As for the project, there is another umpire card in the set--Kelly. He is the same person who is listed as manager of Louisville. There are also some players in the set who also umpired at some point in their life, the most famous of which is HOFer Hank O'Day. Good luck with the project.
