The club own beautiful grounds, 600 feet square, which they have fitted up at an expense of $20,000. On the grounds there is a large and well-fitted club house, and several stands for the accommodation of spectators, for which about 4,000 seats are provided, a special stand being provided for lady visitors. For the last two or three seasons the officers have been making every exertion to strengthen their nine, and have finally succeeded in getting a body of players each of whom is almost unrivaled in his particular position.
