| Text | ...the old Cincinnati Club has at last secured grounds to play on next season, and yesterday a contract was closed for the lease of a piece of property that can, by the expenditure of a considerable sum of money, be transformed into a ball park. It is situation on Western avenue, just north of Findlay street, and is what is known as the Hulbert property. At present it is occupied by several dwelling-houses, a brick-yard, and part of it is under cultivation, being used for “truck patches” by gardeners. The present occupants, it is understood, have no stipulated lease on the grounds, and it is said that they will remove their effects to some other place in time to let the Cincinnati Club being the necessary improvements as early as January. The lot extends from Western avenue through to McLean avenue, and runs from Findlay street nearly as far north as York street. It is 750 feet long by 450 feet wide.
