Description | (BDE (1): These clubs “met for the first time this season …. About 2000 persons were present, but the game was abruptly terminated by the rain before any result was arrived at.”) (NYT: “… over a thousand spectators assembled … to witness a contest between these two leading clubs. Shortly before three o’clock the Excelsiors made their appearance on the ground in a large omnibus drawn by eight horses, and the ground having been cleared, the game began, the Excelsiors having the ‘in hand.’ … At the end of the third innings the westerly shower that had been threatening for some time begun to sprinkle the ground, and when the fourth Excelsior innings had ended the rain fell so fast that it was impossible to continue the match.“) (BDE (4): “The game was commenced on Saturday, 18th ult., and some three or four innings played, when the rain caused its postponement to the present occasion.”) |
