“Base-ball” was played at a summer treat hosted for the more than 600 students of the St Luke's Sunday Schools of Maidenhead, Berkshire. After marching through town to the Crauford College meadow, the children played a variety of games and then had tea. Afterwards, according to a newspaper report, “cricket, base-ball, racing, &c., occupied the evening till about 8 p.m., and the playing of 'God save the Queen' brought a most successful school treat to a close.”
