Description

(return match – 8 innings, due to darkness)

(PSOT (1): “The grounds upon which the contest took place are beautiful, and well adapted to the game; and upon this occasion, it was well covered with spectators, who manifested a lively interest in the contest—not the least enthusiastic of whom were a large number of the fair sex.”)
