HARRISBURG COUNTRY
CLUB MAY MOVE
IContinued from First Page1

These conditions have caused much
discussion of new locations in the last
few years and will be revived as n
result of the fire.
Clubs Offer Courses
The Colonial club offered the Use
or Its clubhouse and course yester-
day before the fire was over and last
night the Reservoir Park Golf Club
rendered use of its clubhouse, while
John Lindner offered his Forest Hills
course at Carlisle. Members of York
and Lancaster country clubs, which
have been playing golf matches with
Harrisourg for years, have invited
members to visit their courses at any
time.
AIT OF the Personal property saved
has been placed in a building near
the first green on the Lucknow course
ana members are requested to identify
it by Friday.
The remains of the locker rooms
will be boarded up and may be used
temporarily by those desiring to play
golf, but this is a matter which will
be definitely settled later.
Many expressions of approval over
the way the fire of yesterday was
handled were heard to-day. The
powerful northeasterly wind and the
iniiamrpable pine wood, together with
the winter store of coal which had
but short time before been installed
in the cellar, all combined to make it
a peculiarly difficult fire to fight
The saving of the bowling alleys
and mems dressing room with its long
rows of lockers was made possible
through the valiant efforts of three of
Harrisburg's fire companies, and the
assistance rendered by the railroad
men from the Lucknow shops, undor
orders from George w. Crumleigh,
was invaluable.
was invaluable. Many articles, in
cluding a number of handsome silver
trophies and considerable furniture,
was saved by these men, to whom the
members of the club feel very CRATE
full.
Call Out F1remen Again
Al $3.50 this morning the smolder-
ing embers were famed into fame
again and 1t was deemed advisable 10
call out the Good Will Fire Company,
which sent up their combination truck
and after an hours work put the ruins
in such shape that there will be no
further danger of the fire breaking
out again. No additional damage was
done.
Ever since the first alarm was
sounded yesterday noon and the loca-

stream of club members has been
vending its way by automobile, street
car and on foot to the site where the
clubhouse formerly stood, for the pur-
post of locating their property among
the huge heaps of golf bags, shirts,
trousers, shoes, tennis racquets and
various other articles of clothing
which were torn from the lockers and
piled up In one big confused mass
when the fire broke out. The ladies
of the club have been able to do
but bemoan their losses, mas
much as their property was completely
destroyed. Not an article was saved
Boys Have Narrow Escape
A serious accident was narrowly
averted late in the afternoon by John
Fox Weiss, president of the Country
Club. After the fire had been ex-
tinguished, several of the boys who
are caddies at the club were rum
maging around in the ruins, searching
for possible treasures undevoured by
the flames. Mr. Weiss warned them
to get away from such a dangerous
locality. and no sooner had they left
the ruins than the tall chimney, which
alone with its mate remained stand
ing, crashed to the ground on the very
spot occupied moment before by the
boys.
