York, representing The West
Side and The City Associa-
tons, took possession on
Thursday of my recently &C
quired property at Bayside,
Long Island, which l am fix
ing up as a Home for Lovers
of Golf, Tennis and Motoring.
They told me that they want
ed to be the first among my
friends to start the Belleclaire
Golf and Country Club on its
way to popularity and success.
Well, they did what they set
out to do, and they did it In
fine style, as Hotel Men al
ways do.
was told to hang around
and look pleasant, but as for
me issuing orders Of any kind
they said: "There is nothing
doing; this place belongs to us
to-day; we are going to show
you how to run a Golf and
Country Club"
They played a round Of golf,
over an 18-hole course, which
they said afterward is zone OF
the best and most attractive
courses we ever played over"
There were 30 many of them
playing golf and they were SO
happy that they attracted the
attention of a couple of air
men, who came down from the
sky so close to earth that we
could hear their voices extend,
ing US greetings and wishing
the Belleclaire Golf and Coun-
try Club luck and success.
I don't know whether this
was prearranged or not. Prob
| ably it was not--but it just
shows what happens when
Hotel Men get together and
make up their minds to stage
an affair right.
This is the first time, l
| think, that airmen and earth
men ever got together to start
off a Golf and Country Club
with good wishes.
/ wish I could have been an
airman on Thursday and
looked down from above on
what must have been a beauti-
full sight.
Evidently the airmen appre-
ciated what was going on, for
they went through many hair
raising stunts just to show
their delight at being 80 close
to a bunch Of good fellows.
The clouds which hung over
the grounds during the after
noon all disappeared as the
boys finished their game of
golf. A beautiful sunset
harbinger of good luck-fiood-
ed the clubhouse and grounds,
which made everybody happy.
Inside the clubhouse, wait

generous and thoughtful hosts.
were decorating forty round
tables and a long speaker
table with flowers.
And Rex Cole, of the Cen
eral Electric Co., was there in
stalling his new and wonderful
lighting system-so that when
night fell the clubhouse was
Illuminated with beautiful,
soft lights which were quite
az soothing and as inspiring as
was the beautiful sunset with
which daylight ended.
Then came the evening
gathering of good fellows who
had taken an automobile truck
to Bayside loaded down with
good things to eat. They served
their own food, with the az
ception Of apple pie, which
they told me they had taken
the precaution to get from the
Hotel Belleclaire, Broadway at
Seventy-seventh street, New
York. They told me that there
is no apple pie on earth quite
as good as the Belleciaire
brand.
Wonderfully thoughtful and
complimentary hosts, weren't
they?
The only thing about the
whole affair that gave me a
few uncomfortable moments
was when Ned Tierney, on be-
