Because of the wrinkle in the change from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar in the English-speaking world? I think it was December 31, 1750, which was followed by January 1, 1750. It didn't turn to 1751 until March, so there was a period from January 1 to mid-March where there were two for 1750.
