...addition, two distinct plans being considered. One of these calls merely for the duplication of the south end. The other plan, which would involve an expenditure of from $300,000 to $500,000, outlines the erection of a considerably larger structure, the inside of which would be curved to correspond to the south end but the outside of which would be straight and would have incorporated within it large locker rooms.

For this reason, perhaps, astronomy makes so the casual star gazer who has learned to recognize familiar groups and the brighter planets...

The area beyond, between the four and eight mile limit, or the horse travel limit, correspond to our suburban districts of today...
