Those floors were covered with cocoa matting - which has not been yet purchased - plus there were about 20 spittoons scattered around the flooring - so you can imagine those who missed..... YUK!

Those shiny brass spittoons were much later in the 1880s, 90s and early 1900s....

There is an account that at Ford's, after a performance, there would be rivers of tobacco juice running down the floors.
