| Text | [Atlantic vs. Irvington 8/5/1867] A trip to Irvington is not one calculated to make a nervous man feel very pleasant. In the first place, ther eis the dusty ride from Jersey City in close and crowded cars, and the long and tedious ride by horse cars, where one is even lucky to get a toe-hold, a foothold as a general thing being unattainable. If it be p0ossible to get inside the car, you are compelled to bear the weight, in fact the concentrated weight of half a dozen who will lean on you. The return is by far the most tedious; everybody wants to get back at the same time, and every kind of vehicle is laden down to the imminent risk of the frail structures that run on four wheels in Jersey. Then the jam in the cars on the ride, the jostle on the ferry-boat, all conspire to make a man vow he will not again go to Irvington, but as often as a first class game takes place the same faces may be seen wearily wending their way to the grounds of the Irvington Club. |
