Description

(return match)

(NYT: “It is almost needless to say that the Excelsior played exceedingly well in the fielding, and also at the bat. A friendly entertainment was hospitably ex[t]ended to their guests at the conclusion of the match.”)

(NYC: “The game was a very agreeable one, and was played throughout with thorough good humor on all sides. As usual, the Empires were agreeably entertained at the close of the game, and very excellent speeches were made by Messrs. Green, of the Excelsiors, and Broomfield, of the Empires. Among the guests present was Mr. Wm. Selden, of the Potomac Club, of Washington, who was taken in charge by the Excelsiors, and, as a matter of course, he was taken care of.”)
