Data

“Base-ball” was, once again, among the amusements made available for the crowds of people in Stoke Park attending the annual rural fete benefitting the Literary and Scientific Institute of Slough, Buckinghamshire. A newspaper reported that “the sports, in addition to the music and dancing, included cricket, archery, quoits, trap-ball, base-ball, together with, for a miscellaneous company, that rather questionable amusement—kiss in the ring.”
