[Boston vs. Olympic of Washington at Union Grounds Brooklyn 5/27/1871] The weather was fine, the ground in admirable order, and, though the admission fee was half a dollar, fully 3,000 people were present within the inclosure; and, as the price of admission had been previously announced both by the daily papers and by bills, the attendance of so large an assembly cannot but be regarded as a public indorsement of the new rates of admission to first class professional contests.
