| Text | The best ground for cricket and base ball is, doubtless, the one rented conjointly by the Union Cricket club and Cincinnati Base Ball Club of the city of pork. It has an area of seven acres, is beautifully level, has a good turf, which in the heat of summer is watered from the reservoir, from which source also they are to flood it for a skating park in winter; the requisite pies and hose having been laid on for the purpose. The watering process enables them to keep the grass green and in a growing condition all summer. It adjoins Lincoln Park, and is reached in twenty minutes by horse cars from the Post Office, so that it is not only convenient but easy of access. They are having a most convenient house erected on the ground, having dressing rooms, bar room, private room for Harry Wright, (their esteemed professional, late of New York, and eldest son of the veteran Sam), and ladies’ room both up and down stairs. Verily the ballists of Cincinnati have reason to rejoice. |
