The directors of the New Haven Amuse- | ment company met last night and elected | officers as follows: President, Fred erick H. Brethauer; Secretary, Robert w. l Curtis; Treasurer, Edward s. Moore. It was decided to place one hundred season | tickets on sale at once. Ten dollars will be asked as first payment, with two additional payments of five dollars each, in July and | September. This is considered fair offer. The number of season tickets will be limited. It is hoped that those interested in base ball will take them to help the sport along.

The admission fee will be 25 cents and to the ! grand stand 25 cents extra. At the rate tke 1 season tickets gre sold the admission to the best seats will be only 36 cents. Manager Spence visited the grounds yes- terday and explained to several contractors about the grading. Bids for the grading and
 the fence will be opened to morrow after- noon.
 The grand stand will be most convenient one. There will be 8 center piece, with two wings, in the shape of an octagon. Each will be eighty feet long. The stand will ac- commodate 1000 persons. Architect Russell is at work on the plans, and will have them out to-day. There will be eight rows, at 8 gradual rise of six inches. The first row will be only two feet from the ground, and then slope backward, will not be steep, as is generally the case with grand stands. The entrance will not be at the side, but from
 the rear of the center, nearly the same as at the Yale stand. One portion will be re- served for gentlemen who smoke, so that ladies can attend.
 Everything is going along swimmingly. Manager Henry of Hartford has signed
 Thomas Lynch of Hamilton, Ont, for first
 base, and Eugene Derby of Weymouth, Mass, for catcher. He caught few games for
