Here is delightful find from my time researching in the British Newspaper Archive, from the chess column in The Newcastle Courant, Saturday, September 9, 1899 (I have added diagrams).
Played recently at a Garden Party given to the Edinburgh Chess players.

I have done a bit of research (and spent a few pounds) at The British Newspaper Archive website, looking for references to the Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7). Without a date or a paper to focus on, work can be tedious, with only a few "finds".
As a public service, I present an item from The Newcastle Courant, Saturday, December 3, 1898 (I have added diagrams):
The following little brilliancy illustrates the unsoundness of the Jerome Gambit. Students would do well to commit it to memory, as strong players have a peculiarity of springing the opening upon the unwary.
