The COUNTRY CLUB

on the seummit of the knoll near the
club will be built the managers house.
The plans for this will be left to Mr..
Woods and he has not as yet decided
how it will be built. He will reside at
the club but there will not be sleeping
provisions made for any of the other
club members.
A road is now being constructed
which will connect the club house with
Nuuanu street A drive up Nuuanu
Avenue and then across to the club
house will not be a great distance.
The road will wind around the hill i'm
an easy grade.
Around the clubhouse a huge garden
is to be built Many different kinds of
trees are to be planted as well as a
large lawn TO the rear of the build
ing a vegetable garden will be planted
so that fresh garden truck can be
placed upon the clubs tables. 1t was
in discussing this pharase of the club
that Manager Wood again was carried
away with the prospects Eyes. we
will have a garden so that the boys
can have something fresh on the tables.
We will have some chickens and give
them fresh eggs as well as a newly
pulled carrot when they call for it.
And then we shall have two COWS and
just think, We shall occasionally give
them cream, really and truly cream.
Oh, they will think that they are i'm
the country alright when they get up
there. There will be the best cook we
can get hold of, in the kitchen and the
meals will be served as well as in any
of the hotels. And the best part of
the whole affair is the fact that each
member will feel as if they owned a
part of it,"
Although the grounds of the club are a
thing of beauty today they will be i'm
proved greatly as soon as fresh trees
and vines can be made to grow. The
former owners of the property some
time ago had rock walls built about the
estate and now over these the new
owners win plant vines with various
colored leaves and blossoms so that
the effect will be very pretty in the
future Shade trees will be planted
and rustic seats provided so that all
may sit and rest when tired with the
golf links.
The estate reaches right up on to the
mountain on the Eva side of Nuuanu
valley and the links reach to the base
of the hills. As that section of the
country was all cleared of lantana and
only the grass shows the effect is very
pretty. On the other side the estate
reaches nearly to the Pail road and
clear down into the gulch near the
road. Numerous little summer houses
will be built in these gulches and every
thing built with an eye for beauty and
comfort.
The club has at present nearly three
hundred members The officers Of the
club are e. FaXon b shop, president;
Frank Armstrong. secretary, ]. O.
Young, treasurer. The board of direc-
tors are James McInerny, c. S. Hollo-
way, Dr. c. b. High and Ned Adams
Jess L. Woods is manager and will live
on the premises.
The effect of such a club upon the
sports in Hawaii cannot be except for
the best. They will do much to pro.
mote sporting in all lines but especial
ly well will golf and tennis flourish
The courts and links at the club will
probably be the scene of many a wei
fought battle with the racket or club
Tournaments viii be held there in tn,
future and from those courts and link!
there may go forth records which viii
be hard to equal in the world at large
There is one other sport that is be
ing thought of but as yet no steps hav,
been taken to carry it into effect. AnC
that is trap shooting. No doubt
gun range will be provided for the clul
and shooting contests will be held often
The club will be a success and will
be by far the best institution of it,
kind in Hawaii and it will probably b,
a good many years before another il
built to equal it.
