The game of the championship, between the Atlantic Club of this city and the Mutual Club of New York, is being played this afternoon on the Capitoline grounds. The match has created the greatest excitement we have seen in Brooklyn for some time. The Fulton avenue cars have been crowded for hours with passengers literally piled on the tops, going up to the grounds. Hotel coaches, omnibuses, hacks and all sorts of vehicles have been called into requisition and thousands of persons have crossed the Fulton Ferry to-day to see the game. … The whole base ball fraternity is interested in the event, the excitement is great, and there is likewise much betting on the result.
