Text | Last evening, the Charter Oak Engine Company No. 1 of Hartford, Conn., presented to the base ball club of the same name, of Brooklyn, a ball, of about the size of a base ball, made from the celebrated Charter Oak. The ball is contained in a rosewood box, lined on the inside with black velvet. On the lid of the box is the following inscription--“Presented to the Charter Oak Base Ball Club, of Brooklyn, N.Y., by the Charter Oak Engine Company No. 1, Hartford, Conn.” The presentation was made at a well known billiard saloon in Court street, by Mr. William Folk, on behalf of the Hartford people. |
