| Data | “Base-ball” was again one of the activities offered to those attending the annual Grand Rural Fete held at Stoke Park in Slough, Buckinghamshire, as a fundraiser for the Literary and Scientific Institute of that city. According to a newspaper report: “On arriving in the grounds the party deployed into sections, each taking the portion of the park allotted, whee some betook themselves to cricket, some to archery, base-ball, and other amusements.” A display advertisement promoting this event, and announcing that baseball would be played at it, appeared in the same newspaper a week earlier. |
