SOUTHPORT NEW INFIRMARY

October 29, 1892. The Liverpool Mercury

The unfavourable weather on Thursday decreased the total receipts in connection with the foundation-stone laying demonstration, but the football match, Southport Central v Everton Combination, proved a great success. The gate was the largest recorded on the Scarisbrick New-ground enclosure, £40 14s, 8d, of which £21 goes to the new infirmary fund. The spectators were pleased with a rapid and even game – 2 goals each. On the grand stand at the stone-laying and among the other spectators the infirmary nurses collected £36 9s, 4d. The lurry in the procession received about £7, and the cyclists’ parade a similar amount.
