[from the Baltimore correspondent] Delegations from the Rambler, Baltimore and Maryland bicycle clubs attended yesterday's game, and found it necessary to store their wheels outside the grounds, at considerable expense and some natural anxiety as to danger to the delicate mechanism by unaccustomed handling. Learning this, Mr. Barnie and Mr. Vonderhorst have given directions to have wheelmen admitted with their bicycles at the carriage gate, and have made arrangements to store them, free of cost, in the pavilion ticket office, which is not now in use. Wheelmen will appreciate this courtesy and accommodation. They number five hundred or more in this city, and are of the sport-loving class that largely patronize the game, so baseball will be greatly the gainer by the wise concession.
