[Mutual vs. Atlantic 11/5/1870] The game was commenced while rain was failling, with the evidence intention of playing only one or two innings for the purpose of securing the gate-money of the four or five hundred spectators who had paid for admission, and a little loose play was indulged in; but when the sky cleared up, and the afternoon came out fine and bright, and they found they would be compelled to go on with the game, both sides played their level best to win, and an extremely pretty fielding game they played.
