| Text | [a letter to the editor] I would like to call the attention of the Athletic base ball management, through the medium of your excellent paper, to the annoyance of their patrons by the sub-vendors of refreshments, who insist on crowding and tramping over the audience to dispose of their goods. Last week two or three gentlemen, after being considerably annoyed, refused to let one of the boys pass, when they got in return impudence well ladened [sic] with curses. Yesterday one of the colored gentlemen with soft drinks stood for at least three minutes during a very interesting part of the game in front of some gentlemen below me, totally obstructing the view of two and of others partly, while a little boy sipped a glass of lemonade, purchased for him by his indulgent father. This is very annoying indeed, and I do not believe the management would allow it if it was brought to their notice. Certainly a more careful attention should be given this matter than it has yet received. |
