Whit Monday Sports at St Albans From the Herts Advertiser, 27th May 1893 |
|
|
The twenty-fifth annual sports held under the auspices of the St Albans Cricket Club took place as usual on Whit Monday, the venue again being a meadow at Bernard’s-heath, which Mr J Reynolds kindly placed at the disposal of the committee. … Fortunately the rain held off, and during the greater part of the day the sun shone with great brilliancy; the consequence being that some five thousand persons from all parts of the country wended their way to the sports … People named in the article are listed below |
