Text	[National of Washington vs. Athletic 7/2/1866] The game was called for half-past two o’clock, but at least an hour before that time all the seats on the field, except those reserved for ladies and the visiting club, were occupied, and, by the time they began, standing room in available places for witnessing the contest was at a premium, the crowd being so vast that it was nearly half an hour after the time appointed before the players could proceed, owing to the difficulty experienced in getting the crowd back without the boundary of the field. In view of the fact that there will be some three or four equally attractive games on the ground this season, it would be as well to erect another row of seats to the left of the ladies’ stand, and a row or two of single board seats in front of the other stand, at the right of the club house, these seats forming boundary lines themselves, which are not apt to be encroached upon.
