[Chicago vs. Atlantic 7/4/1870] The celebrated Chicago, or $18,000 nine, made their appearance here on Monday last, with the full intention of knocking spots out of our Metropolitan clubs, but although they came for wool they may go home shorn. Their costume is such as one would expect to find among the masquerade dresses in a theatrical costumers–being light blue Knickerbocker breeches, white cotton stockings (at least they were white on Monday last) with white flannel shirts and white caps or hats, trimmed with blue. They look, for all the world, like some of the ballet masters we see at the Grand Opera House.
