| Description | (BDE (2): “At least 3.000 persons were present yesterday to witness the first game of the home and home match between these Clubs. … At the conclusion of the game, a sumptuous repast was provided by the Eckfords, to which ample justice was done by all.”) (NYT: The match “brought together nearly 5,000 spectators, notwithstanding the cold weather.”) (NYC: “The large crowd of over four thousand persons present, and that, too, on such a cold day, gave ample proof of the interest manifested in the result of the contest, and we never saw a clearer field kept, or better order preserved on these grounds than on this occasion. The good feeling manifested throughout this really exciting contest, was highly creditable to the two clubs, and fully showed the cordiality of feeling existing between them. After the game was over, the Atlantics and their friends were entertained at the club rooms by the Eckfords, and the day’s play ended in the most agreeable manner to all.”) (WSOT: “Great interest was manifested in the trial by one of the largest audiences of the season, numbering full three thousand persons.”) |
