Engineers Country Club Attracts Wide

One of the interesting recreation
centres of Long Island is the country
club organized By the Engineers As
ISOLATION. II is located on the north
shore near Roslyn. and adjacent to the
Piping Rock Hunt and many other pop
ular clubs. For the central club build
ing the association selected the old
Willetts Manor house, which fronts on
Hampstead Hsrbor. ideal for the an
choring of pleasure craft and yachts.
Built in the modern Colonial style, the
house is 80 well arranged for club pur-
poses that only a few changes have
been made in it. With the Manor
House the association acquired two ad-
jacent farms. making in all pleasure
grounds comprising e40 acres. A pictu-
rescue plot on this land has been
loaned TO the Roslyn Rifle Club for
its range, which is the largest of the
four which Mr.. Grace has equipped. Il
is located in the vicinity Of Roslyn. and
was the first one built on Long Island.
The members OF the Engineers Club
are greatly interested in the rifle club
movement. They believe that 1t is one
that will be of great benefit TO the men.
and in fitting them for active service
will do much toward thorough pre-
paredness. Charles F. Quincy is presi-
dent Of the club. The vice.president

Mr.. Colt is enthusiastic about the
work, TO which he devotes much time.
ITO make the club success requires
close attention" Mr. Colt said. "Our
interest in the work was the result of
war conditions and the necessity for
preparation and skill in the use Of
firearms. We are anxious TO foster
military practice among the men. Be
sides the rife practice, which is part
of our routine, we have drill every
Monday night, and are affiliated with
the home guard movement. Up to the
time war was declared we were priv

prices. When war was declared the
