Text	The Columbia Base Ball Ground and Skating Park is situated very nearly at the junction formed by Columbia avenue, Twenty-fourth street, and Ridge avenue, and can be approached by exchange cars, or directly by the Ridge avenue passenger cars. The fence, seven feet high, has already been erected, and it is the intention to build a substantial brick house for the use of the playing clubs; also, a large covered stand, for the accommodation of visitors. A large flag pole is to be placed at the entrance on Ridge avenue. Nothing has been spared to make this the most attractive ground for the exhibition of that most exciting outdoor exercise and national game of base ball, which is now creating such enthusiasm among the young men of our country. The following clubs have secured the ground for ball playing: Swiftfoot Base Ball Club, Tuesday and Friday. Alert Base Bll Club, Wednesday and Saturday. Hatters’ Base Ball Club, Monday and Thursday.
