Text	"When Bristol played New Britain at wicket for the championship of the state before four thousand spectators in 1859, the Hartford Press reported that there prevailed 'the most remarkable order throughout, and the contestants treated each other with faultless courtesy.'" A special four-car train carried spectators to the match, leaving Hartford at 7:30 AM. John Lester, A Century of Philadelphia Cricket [UPenn Press, Philadelphia, 1951], page 8. This game is also covered in Norton, Frederick C., "That Strange Yankee Game, Wicket," Bristol Connecticut (City Printing Co., Hartford, 1907), pages 295-296. Available via Google Books: try search: "Monday, July 18, 1859" Bristol.
