| Data | “Base ball” was among the games enjoyed by children attending the National School Fĕte of the village of Minster-in-Thanet located in the northeast corner of Kent. A newspaper reported that the children, joined by their teachers, were first treated to a tea. “After tea the company repaired to the abbey green and grounds, and the children engaged in cricket, base ball, trap ball, scrambling for fruit, &c. The villagers, in their holiday garb, took part in the amusements, and nothing occurred to mar the pleasures of the gathering.” |
