lucky people who belonged 10 the or
ganization.
But the club ran up against a snaR.
1t has, so far, been unable to get hold
OF the land that it wanted--and
| thought that it had. The story is told
thus: About year ago, the option
on this land was sent out from Eng
land, where the property is owned. The
people who were behind the proposed
| Country Club were told that they could
have it whenever they wanted it.
This, TO be precise, was on the first
of July, last year. The lease has been
held in escrow since then. Together
with the lease, according to Mr.. T. S.
Holloway, who is largely interested in
the plan to form the club, an option
for the purchase of the property for
the sum of four thousand pounds ster.

has since been raised TO five
thousand pounds sterling, but that il

rather dragged, and it was not until
this year that it really got upon it,
feet. Then, when it came to taking
over the lease, it was found that the
English owners Of the property ex
pected the club to pay the rental
5000, for the year that the lease had

the owners Of the property, was asked
to cable and did cable to England up.
on the matter. He received no an.

he was told that advice was coming
by mail.

matter rests, and will rest until Sat.
