Text | [Boston vs. Athletic 8/7/1871] Notwithstanding the heat and threatening appearance of the weather, which betokened a heavy fall of rain, a large attendance was assembled–some four thousand persons having passed the gate, while on the trees and houses in the vicinity, a large number took a cheap and distant view of the proceedings. An amusing piece of shrewdness was exhibited on the part of a Jefferson street speculator, who erected a shed of planks and hired the desirable locations beneath to those who were willing to invest a dime to keep comparatively cool and shady. |
