It will be seen that the membership is
composed of some of the wealthiest men
on the globe, representing in the aggre-
gate over $500, 900, 600. The services of one
OF the most noted landscape engineers in the
country were employed, and the island
divided into lots of ten acres each for the
private use of members desiring to erect
cottages stables, kennels and other
improvements, for their own use and com
fort.
Walks and drives have been laid out,
savannas drained, and those spots to be
planted in flowers and shrubbery graded
and leveled. The plan of the engineer has
been to make all the parts harmonze the
design being to take advantage of the
topography of land to preserve the beauty
of the natural scenery and also afford each
settlement such seclusion as may seem de-
sirable.
