this amount was to be repaid in a few
months and the remainder represented
advances for future expenditures.

at the time, and nothing similar has
developed
A Record Crowd.
The crowd which it was thought
would exceed $4,000 persons by game
time, had its beginning in a little knot
of persons who gathered at the gates
last evening. Some improvised beds
out of planks, newspapers, overcoats
or chairs, and went to sleep on the
threshold of the park.
Most of those who waited sought
seats in the third base bleachers.
These at a dollar each were as good
as the seats at first base for which
50 was charged but with reservation
assured to take the other. There were
10000 of the dollar seats. Arrange
ments to care for the bleacherites at
SO cents each provided for the adj
mission of about 5000, more than half
of whom were forced to stand behind
fence stretched along the farther
most recess in center field.
Although all the $4,000 reserved
seats had been assigned in advance
not all had been called for when the
ticket offices closed Sunday night, and
there was unexpected opportunity
to get choice places at the eleventh
hour. This announcement in the
morning papers brought early to the
field several automobile parties,
members of which took turns stand
ing in the lines. A further opportunity
for position in the grandstand was Of
fered by the sale of about 1000 adj
missions, emitting the purchasers to
stand in the rear spaces of the stand.
These numerous provisions for the
public reduced the sale of such tickets
as spectators had been able to pro-
cure and the traffic in seats today
was almost negligible.
