| Text | The new grounds are larger than the old ones, are four squares nearer the center of the city, and have much better street car accommodations. They extend from Western avenue to McLean avenue, east and west, a distance of 750 feet, and from Findlay street north 450 feet. They property is owned by one of Cincinnati’s wealthiest citizens, Wm. P. Hulbert. This gentleman heard of the game of freeze-out the Cincinnati Club’s enemies were playing, and, as he is interested in any and every enterprise that adds to Cincinnati’s credit, he made the club an offer of this tract. This club was surprised, because they had not dreamed the grounds could be had. Several cottages, two or three stables and several brick yards occupy the tract, and it was not in the condition of what was deemed available grounds. But Mr. Hulbert offered to give entire possession, remove every stick of timber and give a five years’ lease. He made the rent within reasonable bounds. Yesterday the act was consummated. The agreement to lease, with the various conditions thereto, was drawn up and signed by Mr. Hulbert and President Stern. The formal lease, with its technicalities, will be made out and executed to-day. St., quoting the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette |
