most handsomely fitted up to be found ia
this section of the country with the posi-

The improvements which have been
made have largely increased the value OF
the clubs property, and a more desirable
suburban site cannot be found anywhere
In this vicinity. In fact, II is not believed
that any Southern coast city has such a
desirable suburban club. The grounds are
kept in perfect order and are always
bright with flowers. II Is not unlikely
that further improvements may be made
TO the property which will stlll further
enhance it's value and attractivehess.
For those who desire to get away from
the heat and dust of the city to a place
where they can enjoy refreshing breezes
there Is no more delightful resort than
.he yaeht club. An evening spent there
is not wasted.
