Description

(New York Sunday Mercury: “Our juvenile correspondent adds, that ‘The Neptunians are a gay set of fellows, and are ready for challenges any hour of the day [Sundays excepted].’ He also informs us that ‘the Croton was the challenging club in the late game,’ and that “they had a ball worth about 121/2 cents, and wanted it paid for because one of the Neptunes busted it.’ The Crotons ought to be willing to stand the ‘bust,’ under the circumstances.”)
