| Description | (Brooklyn Daily Eagle (3) & The Spirit of the Times: “There was a large gathering of some 1500 or 2,000 persons, male and female in attendance. … The loss of the game is attributed to the bad fielding among the Excelsiors. There was ambition, but there had been a want of uniform practice among the members previously, to which the defeat is laid. The Excelsiors, although beaten in this game, have confidence in their ability to tip the tables on the return match. After the game was over, the Putnams were sumptuously entertained by the Excelsiors. It was a subject of general remark that more ladies were present than on any former occasion. Many of the spectators were in carriages.”) (Porter’s Spirit of the Times (6): The game “appears to have made the first excitement of the season.”) |
