| Text | [from a sketch of games at Oriole Park] Between three and four o’clock every afternoon the neighborhood of Baltimore and Hilliday street presents a very animated appearance. The cars of the Hail Spring, York Road, Frick and Fayette stree lines all traverse this street, and at this particular time of the day the York Road line runs two of their heavy lumbering cars every quarter of an hour. The rest of the street, leaving a narrow passage-way for vehicles, is thronged with furniture wagons of every sort and description, and the drivers, in their competition with the cars and with each other for passengers, fill the air with their shouts. The St. Louis Club was an unusually strong attraction during the past week, and the drivers of the wagons, as well as the cars, had a rushing business. Though there are four car lines which carry the base ball enthusiasts within reach of the grounds, they do not provide the necessary facilities to accommodate the three, four or five thousand people who wish the necessary transportation to and from the ball field. |
