"On Thursday se'nnight [sic: seven night?], Mr. Hodd and Mr. Harry Paine, two of the principal farmers of Ringmer, gave their respective servants and labourers an afternoon's amusement a a game of cricket, and their wives and daughters a match at stool ball. . . .  This sort of familiar contact is far better qualified to restore that good understanding so essential to the mutual benefit of master and men . . . . At nine, the numerous party retired home highly gratified: we say numerous, as we are informed there were nearly 500 spectators: the parties were plentifully regaled withgood bread, cheese, and bread. -- Brighton Guardian"
