...the new and beautifully located ground now occupied by the Putnam Club, at East New York. The ground is an immense field, presenting a well-graded surface, and affords ample facilities for several thousand spectators to witness a game without any interference with the players. We like its appearance better than any other ball-grounds in this vicinity, and it presented a peculiarly charming aspect on this occasion–graced as it was by an unusually large number of ladies, whose attendance at base ball matches always adds to the interest and harmony of the occasion; and we were pleased to see that the Putnam Club made ample provisions for their accommodation.
