 The pretty clubhouse of the Oakland Golf Club was formally opened with reception this afternoon and evening. The clubhouse, located on one of the prettiest spots of. Adams Point, has re- gently been built and is a very con- fortable and well fitted structure.
 The clubhouse stands among the oak trees on the land which would be in- cluded in a public park should the city purchase that property. All around the house is a piazza twelve feet wide, each side commanding picturesque views. The larger portion of the inte- rlor Is reception room which to-day is beautifully decorated. A large fire place decorated with fancy tiling of very artistic nature is the main feature of this room It is finished in chiseled redwood stained with an open trussed roof. There are also ladies rooms and ladies clubroom, in addition to baths. A small kitchen is also there, and during the golf season there will be housekeeper, part of whose duties will be to provide light luncheons for 1 the members.
 The building is very tastefully light | ed by electricity, and the hot and cold | showers are supplied from the Pied mont bath-house.
 1 The links embrace a circuit of three 1 thousand yards, and already the ladies i and gentlemen have done considerable playing. There are a dozen little cad dies who carry the sticks for the play CTS, and each is supplied with a bag. They depend for their pay on the fees given them by the players. There are about 160 members in the club.
 Among the most prominent members of the club are P. E. Bowles, H. M. A. Miller, George w. McNear Jr., c. O. G. Miller, Orestes Pierce, J. w. Phillips and F. M Smith, who constitute council of seven, MT. Pierce being pres ident and H. M. A. Miller secretary.
 The colors of the club are white and ] green, the national color being red. The club was organized three weeks ago and is the pioneer organization of golf on the coast. The members have been very liberal in giving furnish ings. and now settees, soft cushions. handsome paintings and piano add to the enjoyment of the guests be- tween the games.
 James Melville, a caddy from Scot land is keeper of the green. The cir cult begins at the house hole, thence northeast across the field to the north ! arm of the lake, thence west to the top of the hill off the Pied mont baths, south to the bath gate and southeast back to the starting point. 1 It includes some up and down hill | work, and is considered very enJoya- ble links.
