There are three very important
additions made to the club this
week. A very large elk with spread
ing antlers. big black bear and a
beautiful deer. sporting also a fine
pair Of antlers. True they are only
stuffed and mounted. but they add
greatly to the ornamental attraction
Of the club. One OF the charming
features OF the big living room is the
four great fire places made of stone
in use for over one hundred years.
The stone was taken from the old
chimney found standing on the site
Of the present club house. Now that
the gardens are yielding abundance

addition Of milk fed chickens, waf-
fles. and a famous cook, the club can
boast an unusually fine table. Quick

to the club in thirty-five minutes,
over one Of the most picturesque
roads that can be found anywhere.
