The ballgrounds at East New York have been laid out into streets and building longs, and houses are in progress of erection.

The Prosepct Park Parade Ground will accommodate six baseball clubs, all playing at the same time. The ground is to be rolled early in the spring, and prepared for baseball-playing. The Eagle Club, of Flatbush, have secured one day a week.
