Few posters of this kind name a venue as specific as the Germantown Cricket Ground, a Philadelphia-area field better known for cricket and, later, tennis than for the rougher stick game. The notice advertises a lacrosse match across July 10 to 12, a span that suggests a multi-day event rather than a single contest. Lacrosse drew on a game long played by Haudenosaunee and other Indigenous nations, and by the late 1800s it was being organized into clubs and leagues across the northeastern United States and Canada. The wording and typography show how local sporting events were promoted to crowds before radio and newspaper sports pages reached their later reach.
