Can't quite get all of it. The date of Meiji 16, October 8th is correct. The name of Matsuzaki Isouemon is correct. Matsuzaki is on the left. Unknown (blank) for the person on the right.
It's depicting some episode of a Go match that took place in Suttsu, in Hokkaido .

'The extreme excitement of the game allowed Hiroyuki to enter a long forgotten revery of midnight motorcycle rides, disastrously flirtatious haiku, and one summer festival where he tried to impress a girl by juggling flaming takoyaki—an event everyone remembers except, mercifully, the takoyaki.'
