| Text | "Messrs. Editors: A game of Bass Ball came off at this place day before yesterday. It was similar to the one alluded to in the last 'Sentinel", with this exception -- we skinned the coons from top to stem. So, hurra for Connecticut! "Canton, 25th April, 1844." See 1844.15 for the referenced Frontier Sentinel article. |

| Query | Can anyone make a guess at the meaning of "hurra for Connecticut" for a game played in the far north of NYS? Was the area known for its emigres from CT? Edit with form to add a query |
