There was a quarrel between the Bombay Gymkhana, a **-only club, and Parsi cricketers over the use of a public park. The Parsis complained that the park was left unfit for cricket because the polo ponies of the Bombay Gymkhana dug up the surface. The rivalry between the Parsis and the ** Bombay Gymkhana had a happy ending for these pioneers of Indian cricket. A Parsi team **** the Bombay Gymkhana at cricket in 1889.
