| Description | Utica (Utica) 68 Victory (Troy) 27 (New York Clipper: The Victory club, ”who had on a former occasion handsomely beaten the Uticas on their own sod, were in poor trim, several of their principal players being absent in the country’s service, while the balance had most woefully neglected their practice during the season. However, a nine was hastily improvised for the occasion, and they proceeded to their task with many misgivings as to their own success. The Uticas were a fine, gentlemanly set of young men, very expert in the game, and, withal, exactly such a body of gentlemen as any club would prefer to be beaten by, provided they were obliged to succumb. It was not a matter of difficulty to prophesy what the result would be. The Uticas came out triumphant, having badly, although not dishonorably, beaten the Victories. In the evening, after the game, the Troy club most hospitably entertained their antagonists, who speak in the highest terms of their good treatment. On Friday morning (26th) they left for Albany to play a match with the Knickerbocker club, of Sturgeondom.”) |
