(Winthrop of Holliston vs. Olympic of Boston 5/30/1858) About an acre of ground was surrounded by a strong rope, and policemen were stationed at regular intervals to keep back the crowd, while a few were admitted within the enclosure by tickets, and occupied a position on the western side.  

The weather was beautiful, and the crowd attracted was very large, forming a circle entirely around to the depth of seven or eight persons.
