Text	[Athletic vs. Cincinnati 10/18/1869] The match, which has been on the tapis for some weeks, excited great interest in this section, and yesterday afternoon the attendance to witness it was immense. The vast semi-circle of seats was densely crowded, and in its rear was a tier, three deep of persons standing. The large galleries set apart for ladies were thronged. Hundreds stood on the west side of the enclosure, and the north side was lined with handsome carriages. The number witnessing the game must have reached six thousand five hundred. ... The order preserved during the nine innings was excellent, occasional cries of “down in front!” being the only noisy demonstration, except the applause which followed the handsome strokes of play, which was showered on the Philadelphians as well as on “ours.” Visitors from neighboring cities were present by hundreds, and their sympathy seem to be for the Athletics.
