"A Game that few Yankees Understand "The scene at the Cricket Ground at Hoboken, for the last three days, has been worth a long ride to see . . . . "[A] most pleasing picture. It had a sort of old Grecian aspect - yet it was an English one essentially. Nine-tenths of the immense number of visitors, we guess from the universal dropping of their h's were English. But it is a game that a Yankee may be proud to play well.
