At a meeting of the Directors, held Friday, the question of admission to the grounds was considered, and it was unanimously agreed to keep the prices as nearly to what they were last year as possible. This will be done, notwithstanding the fact that the club's expenses will be $12,000 more than last season. General admission will be 25 cents; Pavilion 40 cents and Grand Stand 50 cents. Nobody can growl at these prices, surely. The only difference from last year's prices is that the Pavilion is put at 40 cents instead of 35 cents. The increase of five cents was not made for purpose of gain, but for the convenience of the ticket-seller. Last year the greatest confusion occurred a t the ticket office during rushes because of the trouble in making change where a dime and a nickel were always necessary. This year the nickel will be dispensed with, and the process of a dime in change will not be so bothersome. The charge for the grand stand will remain the same, and the purchaser of a ticket for this section will have the advantage of a chair and of reserving a seat down town without extra charge. The base ball public should appreciate this effort of the club to please.
