EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - As matters stand now, the reserved seats on Holmes Field are almost unbearable on a pleasant day on account of the way in which the sun beats down on the defenceless heads of the spectators, so that the whole south side of the field is a perfect furnace for the whole of the afternoon, and the north side is equally as bad until five o'clock. Now these reserved seats are meant originally and chiefly for ladies, and ought therefore to have some pretence to comfort beyond that of having numbers painted on them at intervals of about eighteen inches. Instead of this, all ladies who come to the base-ball games are forced to choose between personal discomfort or some other person's discomfort; between watching the game in the full glare of the sun in silent anguish, and the alternative of raising their parasols, to the utter annihilation of the persons behind them.

All this could be avoided without any trouble, and at trifling expense, by fitting awnings over the reserved seats on both sides of the field. The only drawbacks to such a plan would be the possible danger of the view of some of the high flies being cut off by the awning, and the certain danger of the posts supporting the awning interfering with the view of some few people. This first possibility could be done away with, by placing the canvas pretty well up in the air; and the second could be neutralized by putting the posts pretty far apart, and also by judiciously setting them where they would offer the least inconvenience, and that to the smallest number. Even if a few people were bothered by it, that would surely be better than putting three thousand people to the torture for three hours, as was done in Monday's game.

Especially ought something of this kind to be done in the Yale game, coming as it does at the very end of June, when we may expect either intense heat or a thunder storm, against both of which a canvas awning would offer protection.
