ARMY AND NAVY CLUB
SEEKING A NEW HOME
Present Lease Expires at the
End of Next Month

The Army and Navy club is to have a
new home, but where? That is the
question agitating the club at the mo-
ment.
The lease on the present location (the
former home of Mrs. Voorhies) will ex-
pire February %. The club made ar
rangements last November to take
rooms at the new Palace hotel, but
when the committee looked over the
proposition after the hotel was opened
1t was found that it was impossible to
make the alterations to suit the clubs
requirements.
At a meeting of the club yesterday
two sites were proposed One was
the top floor of the Rosenstock build
ing at 2S Geary street and the other the
fifth floor of the Curtaz building at lis
Kearny street. Both met with favor
and a decision will be reached next
week.
The following registered at head
quarters yesterday = Captain Henry L.
Kinnison, quartermaster of the trans

BIG DEAL IN FAIR
OAKS REALTY CLOSED
Large Portion of Mezes Rancho
Sold to San Franciscan

The University realty company of
Palo Alto closed a big deal in Fair
Oaks residence property last week.
The land transferred consists of 80
acres directly in back of Atherton ave-
nue.
This is one of the last of the larger
holdings In that fashionable residence
district, and has been held in the same
family for many years. The seller is
Sydney Mezes, the astronomer, who re-
tanned it from the large original grant
known as the Mezes rancho, compris-
ing several thousand acres. The deed
was signed in New York December 27.
and represents the culmfnation of
months of negotiation by the brokers.
The purchaser is g San Franciscan.
who will probably build upon one of
the several sites comprised in the pur-
chase.
Alexander Hamilton recently bought
five acres directly opposite the Mezes
land, and is building a residence there.
Other neighboring villa sites are owned
by Fred Sharon, Melvin Dodge, J. Henry
Meyer, A. Sprague and Christopher
Riis, some of whom have recently
built.
During the last eight years the Fair
Oaks district has become very fash
ionable, and some of the better 'front.'
ages upon Atherton avenue and Fair
Oaks avenue have commanded figures
the interesting features at Fair Oaks
is that, while there is a station, there
is no town, no store, only lanes, upon
which are located some of the most
beautiful places in the Santa Clara val
ley.
