COT A CHARTER.
The Newport Country Club
Will Be a Corporation.
Other Corporations That Have Sc
cured Charters from Sec. of State.

The Newport Country Club has obtained
a charter OF incorporation from the Secre-
tary of State. The names of the
principal incorporate RS represent some OF
the most noted among the million
aire summer residents of the watering
place, and the enterprise is thus backed
by powerful capital and much influence.
They include Theodore A. Havemeyer,
James StiIlman, Cornelius Vanderbilt,
Perry Belmont, John Jacob Astor, Theo-
dore X. Gibbs, Robert GoeIet,
Oliver Ii. p. Belmont and James
Truman Burdick. The charter was
granted Aug. 15, and it is proposed to
purchase an eligible tract of land estab-
lish metropolitan pleasure park where
races, fairs, games, sports and entertain
ments may be given for the delecta-
tion of the Four Hundred. The capital
stock is sl50,0Oo, and negotiations are
under way for the selection OF a site and
the preparation OF plans and specifica-
tions for the layout and equipment OF the
park.
At present the summer capHol has no
adequate resort of this character, and it
seems to be the only element lacking to
emphasize the GROWING glory of the
world famous resort.
