Aolf. For several years following 1900,
fishing as a sport became impracti-
cable, because of the polluted condl-
tion of the river. This pollution was
due to the establishment Of a couple
of pulp mills at Harper's Ferry. one
on the Potomac and the other on the
Shenandoah river. The club, taking
to. the. policy laid down at a joint
meeting at Washington in 1895 Of the
Blue Ridge and the Woodmont Rod
and Gun clubs. when a movement to
preserve fish and game was put on
foot, set about to seek remedy
which would revive fishing. At this
time the rivers were SO contaminated
by wood shavings and refuse from
the mills, which virtually covered the
bottom Of the river, that fish were
driven away or killed. Records OF
the club in 1904 show that for two

oeen atternpu at various periods to
Increase the membership, but efforts
along this line have fallen through.
Immediately after Incorporation the
club acquired a commanding site on a
tall bluff overlooking the Potomac
river, east Of Harpers Ferry and
across the river from that place. in
Virginia. The clubhouse as originally
constituted was shortly after erected
on this property. being completed
about the spring of 1884,, The first
land purchased by the club comprised
some thirty-five acres. In 1900 five
additional acres were purchased at
the foot of the blufr. fronting the
river. and a boathouse was built
thereon. The land had previously
been leased. Another acquisition Of
land was effected in 1906. when two
members Of the club donated q tract
OF more than fifty-one acres Of wood
ed. picturesque land, divided by
total Of the clubs holdings to above
ninety acres. The nature of the land
made it adaptable for game preserve
purposes, and a considerable sum was
raised by subscription among mem
bers to improve the property with this
object in view.
Large Wing Added.
The clubhouse as first built contained
only twenty-s rooms, but in 1909 a
large wing on the west was added,
providing a spacious dining room with
room ma in
members rooms above. Later two
rooms were built on to the stewards q

OF the house to forty. Among these
rooms were a library, stocked with
books presented by a member Of the
club; cardroom, wherein was the
