Date	Wednesday, September 5, 1860
Text	The secretary of the Atlantic Base-ball Club was called upon a few days since by a young man who delivered a parcel and then left without waiting for an answer. On opening the parcel it was found to contain a ball which showed marks of hard usage, on which was the following inscription “Atlantic agt. Excelsior, August 23, 1860. Six innings played—Atlantic, [illegible-; Excelsior, 8—game unfinished.” It will be remembered that considerable feeling was manifested at the manner in which the game was broken up by the Excelsior club, and both parties claimed the victory. It is not definitely known whether the ball received by the Atlantic club is genuine or not, but they are determined to regard it as a trophy won fairly.
