Description	(home-and-home game) (NYT: “The Champions have, from their organization, been looked upon as one of the best junior clubs of New-York; and by their repeated victories, have fairly established their title to that rank. The Enterprise Club is well and favorably known in Brooklyn, and ranks high with the base ball players of that city. It is a protégé of the famous Atlantic Club, whose ground they play and practice upon. The members are excellent players, and fully deserve the name they have earned as an efficient association. … The afternoon was unusually pleasant, and a large number of spectators, comprising many representatives from the Brooklyn clubs, were upon the square.”)
