Block Data:	<p>“Base-ball” was played at an outing of about 100 impoverished school children and their teachers from the Union Workhouse of Newbury, Berkshire. A newspaper reported “they were most hospitably entertained by the respected chairman of the Board of Guardians on the lawn of Shaw House, where piles of plum cake and other good things were speedily demolished, after which various sports were introduced, viz., cricket, trap bat, base-ball, kite flying, racing, &c., till night-fall came, when the national anthem being sung, and vociferous cheers given, the juveniles marched off, gratified for that benevolence which had not overlooked the orphan and destitute.”</p>
