Description

(16 innings – “4 hours’ hard play”)

(SOT (1): “… the playing was most admirable on both sides, contested from beginning to end with perseverance and good feeling. The winding up, a glorious supper, with champagne punch, which did credit to our friend Brown, the host at the Red House.”)

Red House (the late cricket ground of the St. George’s Club)
