The Ne,c Grounds in Chicago.

The long uncertainty attending the loca-
ton OF the new grounds of the Chicago
Ball club is at last ended, and negotiations
have been completed which give the club for
the next five years at least u home of which
it may well be proud. The location is not
above fifteen minutes street-car ride from
the business center, and is in the heart OF the
most populous portion of the city. block
Of land 660x400 feet, bounded by Congress
street on the north, Harrison street on the
south, LOOMS street on the west, and
Throop street on the east, has been leased
for five years. Within one short block of the
main entrance, at the corner OF LOOMS and
Congress streets, is the Van Buren, street line
of cars, or Harrison street will be the new
line now in process of construction, while the
Madison, Halstead, and West Twelfth street
lines will run within convenient distances.
No pains or expense will be spared to
make these the finest base ball and ath-
letic grounds in America. Instead OF the
unsightly board fences which usually In
closes base ball grounds, substantial, stone
capped brick wall, twelve feet in height. Will
be constructed TO extend entirely around the
grounds. No other grounds in America will
he so substantially protected, the celebrated
Lords grounds in London, located IN the
very center of the finest portion OF that city,
being the only other SO inclosed. The grand
stand will be built in the form OF semlcircie
at the west end of the grounds, the roof TO be
supported by trusses. Private boxes Will be
placed on the roof along the entire front Of
the stand, where provisions VIII be MADE Tor
the press, officers, etc. The open seats viii
be placed on each side OF the grand stand,
which will seat about $500 people, and the
side seats 5000. The ticket offices, business
Office and visiting players dresslng-rooms
will be built of brick and located just
in the rear Of the grand stand. The club
house and players drcssing-rooms will
also be of brick, and will he placed at the
extreme eastern eud of the grounds. Fur
Their than this, the management is eontem-
plating building several elubhouses and
dressing-rOoms at the eastern END OF the
grounds for the use OF cricket clubs, bicycle
clubs, lacrosse clubs, football clubs and other
kindred organisations desiring TO use the
