The general opinion among base ball men is that the grounds at Staten Island as they are conducted are doomed to be a failure. The transportation is costly and anything but convenient. Mr. Wiman proposes to have other attractions, such as electric and pyrotechnical displays. The last may prove the drawing card. The sail down the Bay on a hot summer day would be pleasant, but the return trip in case of a fob would not be so hilariously agreeable.
