with trees and grass-sown settings for
the clubhouse. There will be stables,
rustic arbors and hooks, tennis courts
and the usual appurtenances OF II coun.
try club. Not atew Of the members are
given TO golf, and they have in mind
the laying out of golf links. The club

OF hundred yards from the clubhouse, a
pagoda will be built, overhanging the
river. This spot commands view OF
