President Day, of the New York Club, went to Hoboken yesterday, and carefully examined the St. George cricket grounds with a view to making it the future home of his club. The inducements which have been offered Mr. Day to locate there are said to be remarkably fine. He cannot only secure a ten-year lease of the grounds, but a well-known real estate dealer said that if the New York managers took the grounds they could secure a percentage on the increase in the value of the surrounding property for the time that they remained there. It is also understood that the ferry companies will help the club as much as possible in the way of transferring the people quickly. The fences and grand stand at the Polo grounds can be moved to Hoboken and put up in about two weeks, and can be made to do for a short time, or until others can be put up at least.
