ward the outside OF the horseshoe" or

used for the cottages and will be boule-
varded by the club SO that there VIII be
a driveway all around the peninsula. Ed

One OF the best golf links In this Sec
tion Of the country will be laid out i'm
nediately after the property Is taken

in the past and probably better.

ciate members will have every privilege

cure a lot on which to build cottage.
