branch of the Club will be limited.
 Although very little is generally known of the Country Club, It was gotten under way in the summer of 1903, and its permanent organization perfected on the 3rd of November of that year. At that time It's present officers and Board of Directors were elected, and it Is largely due to their efforts that Montgomery can today boast of one of the best equipped Coun- try Clubs in the South.
 The Country Club was organized principally by the members of the old Montgomery Tennis and Golf Club which for about fifteen years contrib uted a great deal to the social life of the city. The first record of any tour nament held by this Club was in May. 1892, when the Club was located on Virginia Avenue. and was known os a tennis club. About 1895 the Club moved its quarters to Cloverdale. where what has been often said to be. the most beautiful golf course in this sec tion of country was secured. Here the Club remained until 1903. when it was dissolved, and the present Coun- try Club was organized. Major Mahan and Major Flagler, both of the United States army, were prominently con- nected with the tennis and golf club. while located in Montgomery. The last officers of this Club were: l.. L.. Gilbert, President; c. w. Craik, Vice. President: Elmore Higgins. Secretary. and Jos. w. Holt, Treasurer.
 Below Is given a complete list of the

 The members of the Country Club have cause to be proud of convenicnces 1t can give it's members in these de- partments. A large boiler has been in stalled and in winter hot shower baths will be among the luxuries.
 The club dances will be given In the club room on the first floor.
 There are four rooms in the upper story. very large veranda extends around the entire lower floor. There Is also q sort of gallery around the upper floor, from which a very beautiful view of the golf links can be had One can probably see the surrounding country for five or six miles from this upper gallery The interior of the club is furnished in mission style, most ap- propriate selection for a country club. A number of large stables. chairs, set tees, and desks constitute the furnish ings of the club room, novel effect of which is the log ceiling of flemish oak
 The cafe, in the rear of the club room is finished in weathered oak It's furnishings are complete. and include tables, chairs, sidcboard, etc. Here the club will serve regular meals to It's members, and this will be one of its most attractive features. Montgomery has never before had a club where its members and invited guests could be served at any time, so dinner parties will probably be very popular this summer. The Secretary has secured the services of a competent steward, who will be found at the club at all times and who can be reached from the city by phone.
 Just across the road from the club house are the golf links. Eighty acres will be devoted to this game alone. The golf instructor of the County Club of 1 Birmingham recently went over these links. and pronounced them to be na- turally the best he had ever seen, not wlthstanding the fact that he has tray eled from Canada to Florida. The course consists of nine holes, being ir all about 5000 yards long.
 It can be stated authoritatively that
 after the opening of the Club, steps
 will be taken to organize class oi

THE GREYs' GERMAN.


 In the usual manner of delightful hospitality which characterizes the en- tertainments of the Montgomery Greys the members entertained at a beautiful german on Friday evening at Pickett Springs. The march and german was led by Captain Shepherd Roberts as sisted by Miss Willis. of Pensacola, who is the guest of Miss Annie Lowe. sponsor for the Greys.
 The grand march with which this german opened did not take place until eleven o'clock though informal dancing was indulged in much earlier. The cause was waiting for the band that up to that hour furnished music at the Casino, where several theatre parties were attending the play and afterward were guests at the german.
 The members of the Greys were att tired in white duck suits with white linen blouse waists. black belts and black ties and the young ladies whom waist suits. These costumes added much to the beauty and comfort of the al fresco occasion.
 The members of the Montgomery Greys and their guests were: Captain s. H Roberts and Miss Willis, of Pen sacola; A. M McNeel and Miss Maude Burke. Robt. Meyer and Miss May Rob- inson, Jake Faunce and Miss LII Tins ley, Geo. Tyson and Miss Fannie Moore. A. J. Butts and Miss Roberta Roberts. Ray Jones and Miss Grace Hailes, F..
