Text | Workmen are still busily engaged in grading the field of the new baseball-park at Tremont, and preparing the grounds of occupancy in early May. The new park promises to be the most complete and attractive baseball-field in the State. The grounds are bordered on three sides by trees, and around the new hotel which has been erected (and which, by-the-way, is now in the full tide of successful operation under the management of Messrs. Birdsall and Pabor, of the Union nine) there is a beautiful grove of cedars, making a locality truly charming for picnics, as it is on the high hill overlooking the surrounding country. It is, we believe, the design of the club to prepare a cricket-field on their grounds, which comprise some ten acres, and serve the purpose also of a croquet-field, Sunday school and other social picnic parties. The grounds are on the line of the Harlem Bridge, Morrisania & Fordham Railway, and cars pass the park every five minutes. |
