Text | Hoboken, whilom the resort of all our crack New York clubs, has fallen into disuse with a few years. Time was when the spectators at a match on the Elysian Fields could be numbered by thousands. Now-a-days a few hundreds are all that can be got together on the once famous ball fields, and the grass grows high and the grounds are ill-kept. Improvement is now the order of the day, and new buildings and streets have made their appearance in close proximity to the play grounds. In a few years the giant strides of commerce and trade will obliterate what is left of the renowned Fields, and nothing will remain but pleasant memories of the many exciting contests that have taken place there. |
