A special meeting of the Enterprise B.B.C., of this city, was held yesterday evening, and the club decided to attend in a body the funeral of their late member, Peter Rice, Esq.

Resolutions were passed expressive of the sorrow at his loss, and condoling with his family.

The Enterprise will play no match games for thirty day. Members of the club will assemble at Montague Hall to-morrow morning at 9 ½ o'clock, for the purpose of attending the funeral. Brooklyn Eagle July 24, 1866

the short field behind home at the Athletics ground

[Irvington vs. Athletic 7/17/1866] The Irvingtons were unfortunate in being obliged in the third inning to change Bailey for Walters as pitchers, but it was rendered necessary by reason of the irregularity of his pitching, and the consequent number of passed balls, occasioned, partly, by the shortness of the field in rear of the home base.
