Description | (172 innings) (Wilkes’ Spirit of the Times: “Since my former epistle, the Union Club of Medway have accepted the invitation to meet the Excelsiors of Upton for the purse of $1,000 and the much-coveted Championcy, and the date fixed upon for the contest was the 11th and 12th of September next; but the rumor is now afloat that it is postponed to the 25th and 26th, for some reason not fully understood. As the time for struggle approaches, the interest is kept fully in advance by the rumors continually flying about of some slight advantage supposed to be possessed by one or the other club, and all classes are reveling in anticipation of a vast amount of entertainment upon that occasion. / It is the topic of discussion from the street-corners to the drawing-room, and parties, pianos, and politics are permitted to retire when it is broached, and remain in happy or miserable seclusion until any subject is preferable to an exhausted one.”) |
