Description	(Troy Daily Whig: (2): “It was thought at first that the game would have to be postponed in consequence of the inclement weather; but soon the western horizon began to light up and to confirm the promise, a refreshing west wind sprang up, thus securing a pleasant time to the player, so far as the weather was concerned. / We cannot say that we have not seen better play exhibited—on the contrary, the skill (if so it may be called) exhibited was much below that which has been shown by these clubs on previous occasions.  But there are palliating circumstances connected with the game, for instance, the rain which had fallen but a few moments previous to commencement of the game had rendered the turf very slippery, and Mr. Follett, one of the best players of the Priam Club, was somewhat indisposed. / … At the conclusion of the game the ball was presented in behalf of the Priams by their captain, Mr. E. J. Watt, with a neat speech, and was received by Mr. J. D. Parker, captain of the Victorys, in a very handsome manner. / After cheers had been exchanged the clubs adjourned to meet again, we hope, at an early day.”)
