A list of all pages that have property "Text"Text" is a predefined property that represents text of arbitrary length and is provided by <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Special_properties">Semantic MediaWiki</a>." with value "&lt;p&gt;"On the 29&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; May, a grant [sic] Match of Wicket was played at Chippawa, Upper Canada, by 22 English ship wrights, for a stake of 150 dollars. The parties were distinguished by the Pueetergushene and the Chippawa party. The game was won in 56 runs by the former. It continued 6 hours.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"The winners challenge any eleven gentlemen in the state of New York, for any sum they may wish to play for. The game was succeeded by a supper in honor of King Charles, and the evening in spent [sic] with great hilarity."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mechanics' Gazette and Merchants' Daily Advertiser,&lt;/em&gt; June 9,1815, reprinting from the &lt;em&gt;Buffalo&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;Gazette.&lt;/em&gt; Provided by Richard Hershberger, 7/30/2007. &lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; It seems unusual for Englishmen to be playing wicket, and for wicket to field 11-man teams. Could this be a cricket match reported as wicket? Is it clear why a Buffalo NY newspaper would report on a match in "Upper Canada," or whereever Chippawa is? Do we know what a "grant match" is? A typo for "grand match," probably?&lt;/p&gt;". Since there have been only a few results, also nearby values are displayed.
