The arrangements to keep the crowd from interfering with the players were excellent, and were in striking contrast to the neglect shown by the New York clubs on Hoboken in this respect, the Gotham Ground Committee entirely neglecting their duties on Tuesday last. But for the good order of the crowd that day, great inconvenience would have resulted from the want of proper arrangements. We hope our clubs will manifest an improvement in this respect in their next matches, as Brooklyn–which has hitherto not been celebrated for the order of its assemblages, especially in the Eastern District, where the veriest lot of blackguard boys ever seen, collect on these occasions–has got ahead of New York in these games. This, by-the-by, is one of the advantages derived from the inclosed grounds at Williamsburgh; the noisy, rag-tail boys are thereby kept from annoying the players as they did on the Eckford grounds at Greenpoint.
