Bird's eye view showing the grounds of the club founded in 1874 in West Philadelphia. In the center of the fenced-in grounds, members engage in a cricket match in front of the club house and an auxiliary building. Clusters of spectators watch the match and arrive by foot, coach, wagon, and bicycle. In the left, a bowler practices his throw in a netted area. In the background, people engage in matches on a series of tennis courts separated from the cricket field by a row of trees. Trees, a red brick building, dirt roads, and pastures surround the grounds. A horse-drawn buggy and street car travel around the club and a locomotive passes nearby. Also contains insets showing the "Field View of the Club House" and a "Lawn Tennis" doubles match. Belmont, one of the four chief Philadelphia cricket clubs, disbanded in 1914.
