At a meeting of the governing board OF
the Country club, held at the rooms Of
the Commercial club, last night, the COM
plete plans and specifications for the new
club house on College Hill were exam
ined and accepted.
These plans were drawn by Mr. Hunter,
a St. Louis architect, who has had
great deal of experience in making draw
ings for club houses. and his work has
been very commendable. The governing
board found that his plans covered every
need.
According to plans accepted the cluo
house will be an elegant structure, and
slightly addition to College Hill. lt VIII
be two stories hight, with basement.
and will face the north. Because OF the
wide porches and broad roof it appears
as a low, rambling building on the old
colonial style.
The basement will be divided into
locker, shower bath, closet and wash
stand. The locker room will be large
enough to accommodate from go TO 300
lockers. and win have both an outside
and inside entrance. The furnace and
fuel room will also be located in the
basement, but will be separated from
the locker by a heavy wall.
The second floor is model of convent
ence. The whole front is taken up with
p reception room. . by 2915, with win
dows and doors on every side, making 1t
as light and cool as possible. From this
room there is an opening Is feet wide into
the dining room. which is 20 by Is feet,
and back of the reception room. To the
right of this room is the smoker or re-
freshmen room, % by % feet, with
stairway leading TO the locker This floor
Is so arranged that when large concert
or party is given the rooms can practi-
cally be thrown into one.
The third floor will be made into sleep
ing rooms for thG'greater part There
will be eight sleeping rooms, ladies
locker and billiard hall Broad balco-
MES will extend along the east and west
sides From the balcony on the west
side 1t will be possible to get an excel
lent view of Wichita.
However the part Of which the club is
most proud is the broad porch, which
will extend along the east. west and north
sides of the building. 1t will be built
for comfort, viii be 16 feet wide and lao
feet long. with railing around it just
high enough to perch the feet on while
watching a golf or tennis game. The
railing will also be made wide enough 70
be used as sort of seat. The east and
west corner will be shaped octagonally,
giving more room and greatly helping in
the appearance of the porch. The base of
the porch will be > feet from the ground,
in order TO give plenty of light in the base
ment.
The entire building will be fitted out
with steam heat city water and electric
lights, making it convenient in every
way. The location could not be better.
the street car line is near and with the
excellent golf grounds there is no reason
why the proposition should not be a sue
cess.

tots north of the club house site, with a
driveway running between it and the
building 1t is expected that arrange
ments will also be made for the addition
of a dancing pavilion. as a large number
of the members are in favor of it.

build a club house has caused wonder

tion for membership. and were admitted
