The officers of the Athletics, before the recent match [with the Atlantics 10/22/86], announced that they had concluded to sell 4000 tickets at one dollar each. The public differed with these officers, and only 1900 tickets were bought–a just and telling rebuke to the greed of the club. About two thousand persons only, including ladies and dead-heads, were within the inclosure.
