any private holding in the Adiron-
dacks. At the price per acre at
which a tract in every way inferior,
lying directly north of the clubs terri
tory, was sold last year, its lands are
worth to-day over a million of dol
lars.
One of the unique features Of the
clubs incorporation is that it is a
proprietary club, each certificate of
membership carrying with it One-tve-
hundredth part of all the property of
the club, together with the hunting
and fishing rights of the entire preserve
and all the privileges of club members.
Since the value of the clubs property
has constantly increased by the grad
uaI enhancement of all Adirondack
real estate, by the improvement Of
the tract and the addition to it Of
new territory, the price of the shares
has been greatly increased by the
trustees from $1,000, the original
price, to $1,000, then to $500 and
now to almost double that.
These membership shares also enti-
tie the holder to a fve-acre site of
land upon one Of the eligible lakes of
the preserve. These lots are assigned
to members in the order of their appli-
cation, and are decided to them in fee,

ard, jr., o. S. Grant, jr. Many of the
fair sex are enrolled as members of
the club.
Several of the members have built
private camps upon the five-acre sites
allotted to them, and these are owned
by the members in fee. A number of
these camps are near enough to one
of the club houses to enable the mem
bers to take their meals at the club
table. Others are entirely independ-
ent of the club houses, and own
their own homes" in every sense of
the term. On First Lake, close to the
northern boundary of the club, Gen
eraI Harrison built a fine camp, to
which he goes late in the fall Of
each year. 1t was there, also that he
spent his honeymoon.
Aside from the Adirondack League
Club, the organizations controlling
large tracts in the great northern
woods of New York are the Adiron-
dack Club, owning $4,000 acres; the
Nehasane Park Association, with 112,

ands and shores have been leased or
purchased during the last decade,
principally for their natural advant-
ages as game resorts, combined with
the sea fishing in some instances. The
mild climate, the ocean breezes, the
semi-tropical verdure and the pleasure
of outdoor life in that latitude during
the cold months render these Southern
resorts decidedly popular with a large
class of pleasure seekers.
Near Brunswick, Ga, lies the his

DR.. B. E. Fernow, a forestry expert,
and one of the members, estimates
that less than five per cent. of the
timber standing upon the tract at the
time of its purchase will be removed
under this contract. The large part
of the splendid timber growth upon
the tract consists of hard wood, main

ginning of hostiiities by the Union
troops. Folly Island is dense1y wood
ed, and furnishes excellent sport in
the line of deer, wild turkey and
game bird shooting, with good wild
fowl shooting along the coast.
Other game preserves of national
reputation along the Atlantic coast
are quite numerous, and include such
organizations as the Carroll Island
Club, of Chesapeake Bay; the Curri-
tuck Club, of Currituck Sound; the
Roanoke Island Cunning Association,
at the mouth of Albemarle Sound;
Harbor Island Club and Durants
Club of the North Carolina coast
Along the Pacific coast are several
noteworthy parks owned by sports
mems clubs, The most important of
these is the Country Club preserve,
about thirty five miles from San Fran
cisco. The Country Club, which is
limited to one hundred members, was
organized in 1890 and is composed en-
tirely of members of the Pacific Union
Club The tract of land secured for
the game preserve contains 10000
acres, with sixty miles of ocean
front, and the sea fishing and salmon
fishing in Tomales Bay, together with
the trout fishing in the streams, fur
nish magnificent sport for the anglers.
In the line of field sports deer hunting
and quail shooting are the principal
features, although several other vari-
cites of native game are comparative
ly abundant, and a few foreign spe-
cies have been imported to stock the
grounds.
Another aristoeratic club preserve
is that of the San joaquin Shooting
Club, located on the great San Jon
quin ranch, in Orange county, Cal.

subject only to such regulations as
are necessary for the mutual protec-
ton and health of all the members.
Upon these private sites many of the
members have erected camps for the
entertainment of their families and
their friends.
Another unique feature of the Adj
rOndack League club is that there are
no annual dues or assessments of any
kind. The club is supported by a
lumber contract, which provides for
the removal from certain portions of
the tract of the spruce and pine tim
Der above twelve inches in diameter.
This timber is removed under careful
restrictions. This contract furnishes
the club an annual income of $4,000.

GOVERNMENT OF CUBA.
A PROBLEM WHICH rs GIVING THE AD-
MINIsTRATION MUCH CONCERN.
NO DEFINITE DECISION YET REAcHED-GEN
ERAL WADE WILL PROBABLY
COMMAND.

Washington. Nov 5.-The government OF
Cuba has given the Administration much con-
Germ and It's form is not yet definitely deter
mined Since issuing the order designating the
troops to go to Cuba there has been consider
able talk at the War Department about the
probable commander in Cuba and the organiza-
ton OF a government civil and military. The
probabilities now that Cuba will be desig-
mated as department and placed under the
command OF one officer The general impress
sion seems to be that this officer will be Major
General Wade now chairman Of the Cuban
Military Commission. whose duties as a men,
Der OF this Commission have fitted him for the
office The President and Secretary Alger have
great confidence In General Wade. and believe
he combines the military and civil qualities
necessary for the chief command in Cuba when
an occupation ia complete.
There has been an ntimation that General
Brooke who has been in command in Porto
Rico might be selected for command In Cuba,
but such is not the present intention General
Brooke who ranks all the major generals In
the volunteer service. commands about six thou
sand troops in Porto Rico less than some brig
heterogeneous who in command Of divisions.
and much less than several generals In COM
mand OF corps 1t is understood that General
Brooke does not care 10 remain any longer III
Porto Rico than the Department actually thinks
his services are required. There has been a
suggestion that General Merritt might return
and take command in Cuba. but the Admins
tration thinks the selection of General Wade
would be better.
1t is possible that the Department Of Cuba
Will be divided into districts OF greater and
some Of less importance The principal districts
would be Havana, Santiago and Cienfuegos. 1t
is possible that each province will be designated
as district The command Of the Second
Corps is still unsettled. General Lawton was
at time selected for the place. but it was
found that AT least two officers ranked him.
and this proved rather unsatisfactory.
The order which desgnates the troops TO oc-
cupy different portions Of Cuba has raised a
question as to whethe- or not 1t is the intention
OF the War Department to have the troops go
direct from their present camps to Cubs in
stead Of occupying the Southern winter camps
selected some time ago 1t be said that the
troops will be moved from Knoxville, Lexington
and Middletown to these camps soon. 1t Is be
leved that the transfer Will be beneficial to the
troops, and that not only will they find a more
salubrous climate. but that the duty of break
ing camp and establishing another will be
better for them than remaining in place. L:
will he nearly two months before all the troops
designated for Cuba sent to the island so
there will be a consderab time for them to re-
main In tho Georgia and South Carolina Campo
