Date	Saturday, July 14, 1866
Text	On Thursday, the Nationals became the guests of the Excelsior Club, and we have to state that July the 4 th, 1866, will henceforth be a day specially noteworthy in the annals of the National Club, and of the national game itself, for it was one marked by the most splendid reception ever given by one club to another. The National Club themselves had previously equaled, if not excelled, all efforts of the kind by the manner in which they welcomed the Athletic, Atlantic and Excelsior clubs in Washington, in 1865, and we have a distinct recollection of a certain Knickerbocker affair in 1859, which was one worthy of special record. But this reception surpassed all previous efforts of the kind without doubt.
