| Description | The Pacific Commercial Advertiser, Feb. 10, 1859, reports on the celebration the day before (Feb. 9th) of King Kamehameha IV's birthday: "After the parade, the entire [Fire] Department, with the Chief Engineer, Alexander J. Cartwright, Esq., at the head, marched to the pic-nic ground, makai of the Stone Church, where, after a few appetizing games of ball, they sat down to a sumptuous repast..." "Makai" is a Hawaiian term for "towards the ocean". And yes, this is baseball "founder" Alexander Cartwright. Same issue has another article on a ball game: "Dull Times [for Business] ...on Tuesday at high noon, an impromptu game of 'bat and ball' was got up on Queen Street, directly opposite the store of T. Spencer, Esq., which for short time was prosecuted quite vigorously, much to the amusement of the bystanders. Clerks and Merchants caught the infection, and the sport was only stopped by some strong arm sending the ball overboard." |
