Description

(Porter’s Spirit of the Times: “At the close of the game, the two nines repaired to the Forbus House, where, after a fine dinner, Mr. Fisher, of the Union Club, in a few words, presented the ball played with in the morning, as a trophy of victory, to the Poughkeepsie Club.  The President, Mr. Cogswell, received the ball with appropriate remarks.”)

(Wilkes’ Spirit of the Times: “The Poughkeepsie have just given a practical and proper evidence of their gallantry, in erecting a temporary inclosure for the suitable accommodation of their lady friends and acquaintances who desire to witness their pastime.  Some five to six hundred spectators, including a liberal portion of ladies, were in attendance as spectators of both the morning and afternoon trials.”)
