Base Ball. The base ball club accompanied by a number of their friends, visited Messrs. Davis & Webb's surveying camp, at Phalan's Lake, yesterday afternoon. They indulged in a lively game which gave them a good appetite for the excellent lunch which their hosts had in readiness at its conclusion. It was good to be there and all those who didn't go wished they had when they heard of the fun and good cheer. The club returned about seven, and every one of them will certify that Capt. Davis and Mr. Webb know how to survey. Their spirit-level never fails.
Note: unknown if this was an inter-squad match for the North Star Club or if they played a nine assembled by Davis and Webb. Neither the score of the game or its length was reported to the newspaper.
