Model Clubhouse and Grounds nc Elk
wood Park, N. j.
The pigeon shooting grounds now In
process of construction by Phil DAILY, Jr.,
at Elkwood park, Long Branch, are be-
yond question the finest in the world. The
grounds at New York, Philadelphia, Paris,
London, Monte Carlo and other famous
sporting centers are not to be compared
with the paradise for pigeon shooters pro-
vided for in Mr.. Daly's plans
The situation Of the grounds and club
house in the center Of pretty park Is
quite picturesque and commands fine
view of the ocean. A tract of ID acres is
embraced by tho pigeon grounds proper.
The surface is fine, level turf. The main
feature of the plan Is that three sets OF
