Stock will be issued in shares of $25 each. The Lawn club itself will also be incorporated, under the joint stock laws of this state relating to the for nation of corporations without capital grounds puschased by the New Haven ! Lawn company leased to the Lawn club | at long term of years, at a revenue sui | ficient to pay per cent. interest on the ! stock. The grounds which have been thus | secured are extremely desirable and ad- mirably adapted for the purposes flo, | which the club desires them. The tract purchased lies 200 feet back from Whit ney avenue, adjoining the present grounds and extending toward Orange street 600 feet, and being 125 feet back from Orange street It runs parallel with both streets and it's dimensions are about 224x6OO feet
