[Athletics vs. Atlantics at the Union grounds 9/16/1867] The Atlantics themselves rejoiced exceedingly when they saw what a vast assemblage had forked over a quarter each to gain admission; for on this occasion their share of the gate money was two-thirds, the Athletics giving up their share by way of compensation for the “pence money” of last year. New York Sunday Mercury September 22, 1867 [“pence” sic: a reference to the “fence money” from the match of 10/22/1866]
