RECOMMEND
4 PURCHASE
The Countrywide Likely
10 Buy Rookie
Property.

| Committee, held last evening at the
| office of c. ]. Hutchins, it was report
ed that 233 members had subscribed
for $50 shares of stock, which will
| bring in s12,650.
The proposition has been going along
so nicely that the committee decided
10 recommend to the general meet
ing of proposed members to be held
at the Young Hotel tonight the pur-
chase of the Rookie property on which
the club is to be located, paying over
the necessary $4,000 and giving a mort
gage for $4,000. The purchase of the
property will enable the club to dis
nose of some lots to people who have
already made application for the
same.
Country clubs elsewhere have adopt
ed this idea, with the result that a.
small community of members have es-
ia blished homes directly on the club
estates and have materially aided in
the general Improvement of the
grounds.
HONOLULU COUNTRY CLUB.

ont ia the prospective members of the

Dear Sir: For more than a year
past plans have been in preparation
for the organiza ton of Country Club.
Various sites were considered in the
vicinity of Honolulu and those inter-
ested in the matter have carefully ex-
amined all of them and considered their
different advantages. OF the two or
three places which seemed available
the only one which met the require
ments was the Rookie property in Nuu-
am, valley. This land extends mauka

cessible either from the Liliha street
car-Iine or from Nuuanu avenue, It's

present covered with guava bushes
ana hilo grass, but can be cleared al
a moderate expense. A stream whlcf
is said to flow during the dryes'
weather crosses the lower END OF the
property.
A lease of the property for twenty
wears has been obtained from INT
Rookie heirs in England; rental, S9o'
per year. They have also given ai
option whereby we may at any uil'
