Text | Thursday evening, April 7, was the occasion of a very interesting presentation to the Keystone Base Ball Club of Philadelphia, which came off at Barr’s Globe Hotel. The old Winona, the first organized as a Base Ball Club in the State, after a long struggle with circumstances, concluded to dissolve, and bequeathed its effects, books, balls, trophies of victories in palmy days, and various articles of interest and value to the Keystone, as next of kin, and after their own, the oldest organized Base Ball Club. They were presented with some eloquent and appropriate remarks by Mahoney, and received on behalf of his Club by the Secretary of the Keystone. The party then partook of a collation, set out by the recipients. The Brooklyn Clubs, and their Newark friends, the Eurekas, were toasted, and the memory of the greatest of our ball players was touchingly referred to. The “wee small hours” had passed before the party adjourned, after an evening to be remembere with pleasure by all the participants. |
