Text	The grounds of the National are rapidly approaching completion, and will, when finished, compare favorably with any in the country. A large two-story house has been built and arranged in the most comfortable manner for the use of the club. The front balcony of this house had been neatly decorated with flags and streamers, and when crowded as it was with beautiful ladies, presented a handsome appearance. The seats for spectators are well arranged, and before the game was called they were crowded to overflowing with ladies and gentlemen, who were present to witness the game. This crowd was being augmented every few minutes by crowds who had availed themselves of the increased street railroad facilities (President Gideon having ordered a number of special cars on the 14th street road) to be present. Among the audience assembled our reporter noticed large numbers of our best citizens, who all seemed anxious to see the crack club of Washington prove victorious.
