The Cincinnati patrons of base ball are much indebted to the Street Railway Company for the many conveniences that are afforded them in going to and from the Park. Superintendent Harris is at the ball grounds whenever there is a game and makes all the necessary arrangements for transporting the patrons as quickly as possible up town. In the latter half of the ninth inning he signals the cars at the stables by means of an electric bell, and they are generally in waiting when the game is concluded. Occasionally there is a ten- and eleven-inning game and then the whole railway system in the western part of the city is thrown into confusion, as there are no side tracks at the park, and the extra cars block the main line.
