[from a letter to the editor] When you first mentioned the Centennial base ball club as a fixed organization, you told us the charges for admission would be but 25 cents, and 50 cents for a reserved seat, now I went to see the match on Wednesday, and had to pay 50 cents, and no reserved seat was given me. How about it? Can’t you have the price reduced?

[reply:] The scarcity of good players and the consequent high salaries, prevents cheap admission at this season. We must all help at present, without grumbling. The Centennials have shown commendable pluck and enterprise, and it would be a pity to retard their success. Look at their ground, their fence, their seating accommodation. All superior.
