Data

“Base ball” was among the pastimes enjoyed at a large outing arranged for the citizens of Winchester, Hampshire, and held at Longwood House, the estate of the Earl of Northesk (a Scottish peer). A newspaper reported that some of the party played cricket, and, additionally, “various games were indulged in, those not engaged in cricket participating in a game of lawn tennis, quoits, base ball, bowls, etc.”
