[Mutual vs. Union of Lansingburgh 8/27/1866] [from a letter by “Umpire”:] I met my old friend Stover selling tickets at the gate, and he told me they took in over $180. [from the gate account:] ...by 2 o’clock fully 3000 people were in attendance, quite a number of whom were ladies. New York Clipper September 8, 1866 [These figures imply an admission fee of $0.06, but if we subtract club members and ladies admitted gratis, and assume some of the spectators were outside the fence, the customary fee of $0.10 is more likely.]
