The grounds are enclosed, and bid fair, when some improvements contemplated shall be made, to be “just the thing” for ball purposes. The surface is a little rough, but the grass is coming up I places, and I learned that it was the intention of the club to sod it. A stand has been erected for the accommodation of spectators, but it is without covering, and consequently it will not be an attractive resort with the fair sex, particularly of a bright sunny afternoon. The club ought to remedy this matter. Lumber is a cheap commodity in this country, and if the experiment was tried, it would soon pay for itself.
