Text	The “Grande Duchesse’–as the ladies’ stands on ball-grounds are called–at the Capitoline was inaugurated on the occasion of the Star and Chicago match, and the new stand was fully indorsed as one of the most desirable improvements yet introduced by Messrs. Weed and Decker. The reserved seats are located in the rear of the catcher’s position, and having a roof over the seats, the spectators are protected from the heat of the sun and the rain too, besides which, it being open at the back, the breeze goes through it with refreshing coolness. We hope Messrs. Weed and Decker will keep this place for reputable spectators, and exclude all gambling and betting men from the new stand. These fellows, who proved such a disgrace to the crows on the day of the Olympic and Star match, if they cannot be kept off the grounds, should be kept by themselves as far away as possible. It would be well also to rail off one portion for ladies and those with them. At any rate, keep the new stand free from betting-men.
