On the Union ball-grounds order is always kept, of course, and the crowd never allowed to interfere. On the Atlantic grounds, nothing was done whatever; even the players had no seats, and the crowd encroached on all sides. A few of the members worked hard to keep them back, but the majority preferred to look on. Not a member of the club had a badge; and, indeed, no further preparation was made than on regular practice-days.
