Description

(return game)

(Wilkes’ Spirit of the Times: The game “attracted a large and interested number of spectators, a large portion being ladies.  …  the Ulster Club has been organized less than a year, and have, during that time, played five match-games, won four, and one was declared a tie.  The Ulster now claims the Championship along the Hudson, and we think their excellent playing has fully entitled them to that honor.  We should, however, like to see them try their luck with some first-class Brooklyn or New York club. From what we have heard of them, we think they could rub some of our first-class city clubs pretty closely.  The Hudson River were handsomely entertained by their Saugerties friends and the best of feeling prevailed.”)
