Spite of the threatening weather, eleven hundred people were present to see the game. The rain was approaching when the time for beginning the game arrived. The club could have started the game and played an inning, but in that case the visiting club could have claimed the $65 guarantee, and the Cincinnati Club had no desire to keep the gate money without giving a proper recompense. They, therefore, waited to see results, and in ten minutes the flood came. The crowd was then dismissed, each getting a ticket as he left the ground good for some other game. Every one was satisfied except a Hamilton man, who wanted his quarter back.
