“Ball bias” was among the games played at the annual festival of the Maidstone (Kent) Literary and Mechanics's Institution held on the large estate of one of the members located in the nearby village of Tovil. A newspaper reported that “the amusements consisted of quadrille and country dancing, to separate bands, drop handkerchief, ball bias, &c., in which a large portion of those present heartily participated.”
