In addition to being ample in proportions, landscape gardeners have made the entire field as level as the top of a billiard table. In the northwest corner has been erected a handsome semi-circular grand stand, seated with 1,600 arm chairs, with room for 400 more if occasion requires it. On top of this stand are 32 private boxes, each seated with five chairs, giving the whole seating capacity of the stand about 2,200. the stand is painted white and is handsomely ornamented with fancy cornice work. To the right and left of the grand stand are open seats holding about 3,000 persons.
