Text	The preparations made on the ground for the convenience of the spectators and players were admirable. The former were supplied with three rows of seats on each side, out of the way of the catcher in taking foul balls, and no one was allowed to encroach upon the field anywhere, an uninterrupted and fair field being given the players. The chalk line, for foul balls, was extended beyond the bases into the field, on each side, so that there could be no mistake as regards foul balls–the umpire and spectators alike having a fair view of the ball when it struck near the line. The outside crowd, occupying the hill-side surrounding the inclosed grounds, was an immense one; but nevertheless there was a goodly number occupying seats inside, there being seats furnished for over 1,500 people. The scorers and reporters had a place to themselves, and the entire arrangement was excellent and highly satisfactory.
