| Text | The Directors have decided at last to charge an admission fee of fifty cents to the covered stands, and twenty-five cents to the uncovered. The present size of the last stand will be increased considerably. In the pavilion slats will be nailed to the seats to prevent crowding and pushing. Chairs will be placed in the grand stand, to which an additional fee of tend cents (or sixty in all) will be assessed. These will be numbered, and seats may be reserved at Hawley's. It is the intention of the Directors to court the patronage of the ladies more than ever. The grand stand will be set apart especially for them and their escorts; but no gentleman will be admitted except he is accompanied by a lady or child. No smoking or drinking will be allowed, and every effort will be made to please the ladies. Cincinnati Enquirer March 18, 1883 Since the announcement has been made that no gentleman would be admitted to the grand stand except when accompanied by a lady or child, and that no smoking would be permitted, considerable ill-feeling has been aroused among some of the older and wealthier patrons. They have made such a strong case that the directors have decided to allow smoking in the right-hand side; but the left-hand portion will be sacred to the ladies and their escorts. Cincinnati Enquirer April 1, 1883 life-size advertising poster The local club will have an entirely original advertising scheme. They are having a wood cut made to represent the home nine in life-size. By it McPhee, Reilley, Corkhilol, Powers and McCormick will be shown standing, with Carpenter, Snyder, Fulmer, White and Sommers sitting, with Jones and Macular reclining. The poster printed from it will be seven feet high and ten in length. Cincinnati Enquirer March 18, 1883 |
