Text	[Constellation vs. Resolute 8/20/1859] The game...was ushered in by a very pretty incident–upon arriving upon the ground, the Constellation Club was surprised to find a splendid piece of bunting floating in the breeze which had been placed there (unknown to the members) by a committee of eleven young ladies, whose handiwork it was, and who presented it to the club with the following note: “We, the undersigned, take great pleasure in presenting, for your acceptance, the flag now waving over your grounds, with the earnest wish that it may never be disgraced.” This note was signed by eleven young ladies. The members of the club (we understand) are about to take measures to make a proper reciprocation to the ladies for the kindness.
