DEAL. N. J., July 7. 1906.
After a year Of planning stockholders OF
the Deal Golf Club have seen their way
clear this week to begin reorganization
of the society. changing 1t to full-fiedged
country club. The action was taken fol-
lowing three long meetings Of the stock
holders. at which a considerable amount OF
money was pledged to carry out the
project.
What will possibly be a beautiful new
summer hotel Is to be erected on the site
Of the present clubhouse. 1t will be known
accommodations for upward Of 200 guests
Rooms will be furnished en- suite with pri-
vate baths and there will be every facility
for amusement. garage Is to be built
near the building and on part Of the links
there will be polo ground laid out.
Such an amusement place as this will be
immensely appreciated by summer resi-
dents hereabouts. OF the chain of summer
resorts extending northward along the
coast from Barnegat bay none boasts of a
polo club except Seabright, and that Is too
far from here to appeal to a great mass
OF cottagers in this section who are fond
Of the sport.
Late Washington arrivals at the Deal
Country Club include M. G. Patterson and
George o. Cilbertson.
The Hathaway Inn is entertaining Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas A. Pearsall of Washing

enjoyable.
The shady lawn directly In front OF ths

the green grass and green shady trees;
then you pass to the pier. which extends
from the lawn to navigable water. This
pier is really a rendezvous for the young
people OF the village, well as the hotel
guests, q place where congenial spirits meet
to discuss the events OF the day or pass
the evening In social chat. but more often
the CHANNEL is dotted with sail and power
boats and when the sails are spread wind

sired. and peal after peal OF laughter 3
heard as they move of from the pier, for
a fun-lovihg and bright, happy party Is
usually aboard these boats.
Good fishing continues till late In tho
fall, in the bays and channels. as well as
sea fishing. The champion fishing party of
