Text	[Fulton of New York vs. Oriental of Greenpoint 7/25/1867] Something ought to be done about the preservation of good order at matches. In this instance the ladies, who were present in large numbers, were subjected to treatment that any gentleman would refrain from bestowing. Preparations had been made by the Ground Committee expecting a large crowd, and seats were provided; not enough, certainly, to seat every male and female, but more than enough for the accommodation of the ladies who chose to honor the game with their presence; but some calling themselves men not only took possession of the seats, but by vile language compelled many ladies to withdraw from witnessing the game, rather than listen to insulting and blasphemous language. The committee and members of the Oriental Club used every endeavor to preserve order and make things pleasant, but many acts did not come to their knowledge until after the game had been concluded.
