Description

(scheduled game)

(Wilkes’ Spirit of the Times (1): “The challenge of the Orion Club of Milford has been accepted by the Hassanamiscos of Grafton, and they meet in a few days to settle the question at present in doubt.”)

(Wilkes’ Spirit of the Times (2): “… but owing to their [Orion’s] unwillingness to devote another day’s time to the completion of the game, it was decided in favor of the 29 tallies, and the matter remains thus at present.”)
