Data | “Base-ball” was among the entertainments offered to families attending the annual fete of the Great Western Railway Temperance Union of Maidenhead, Berkshire, held in the lovely nearby Buckinghamshire village of Bourne End. A newspaper report mentioned some of the activities of the day, including “a steam circus (galloping horses), shooting galleries, a bottle-smashing saloon, cocoa-nut enclosures, Aunt Sally, a toy stall, and 'all the fun of the fair,' while there was ample room for games at cricket, base-ball, &c.” |
