been converted into veritable palace

one end Of the Park to the other.
The drive ways are as beautiful as can
be found anywhere in the south, and
everything tends to impress one that
the master hand has engineered the
perfection of the plans and the execu-
ton OF the same that have achieved
such great success for the Fair Asso-
clat1on. At the entrances one first
comes in touch with the club house.

club house presents a beautiful pic
