lines giving correct Official statement.
In the first place IL was announced that the
Suburban Riding and Driving Club IA to super
sede the present Driving Club Of New York
Such was never the intention OF the incor-
porators; nor, in fact, to supersede any organi-
zation whatever, the origin OF the association
being due to the simple demand for place of
rendezvous for ladies and gentlemen who like
to ride and drive beyond the limits OF the park,
and yet not go SO far away from home but that
they may stop for short while and return
nounced that the object of the Suburban Riding
and Driving Club was to promote sOca-
bility among its members; but especially TO
provide for them place where they may In
dulge in athletic exercise. The social feature
being the paramount one Of the club, the for
mer statement was perfectly correct; but there
are 20 be no athletic exercises unless the Polo
OF the available location and adapt two of the
large fields within the club park for its purposes
The names of the incorporators were also
wrongly given. They are correctly as follows:
Col. Lawrence Kip. A. Newbold Morris, James
b. Houston, J, Hude Beekman, Francis A. Wat
son, Frederick A. Hammond, J. q. X. Lawrence,
