Description	"On the 29th May a grand Match of Wicket was played at Chippawa, U. C. by 22 English Ship Wrights, for a stake of 150 Dollars. The parties were distinguished by the Penetergushene and the Chippawa party. The game was won in 56 Runs by the former–it continued six hours. The winners challenge any eleven gentlemen in the State of New York, for any sum they may wish to play for. The game was succeeded by a Supper, in honor of King Charles, and the evening spent with great hilarity." [note--input as a Buffalo, NY game, but clearly played across the Niagara River in Ontario, which them was part of "Upper Canada" (U.C.)." Chippawa is also spelled Chippewa.--ba]
