would take for laundry but which is one,
with quarters for the laundresses above.
There are hotbeds, greenhouses, garden

golf course and facilities for every other
conceivable kind Of outdoor sport but they
also contemplate eventually having an in

try estate of the late William X.
Vanderbilt, at Oakdale. Suffolk, county,
Long Island, had been sold to syndicate
of New York men and would be converted
into a country club. 1t is now possible to
tell of the plans that are under way to
make this the finest country club in the
world. Upon the completion of changes, it
is expected that the new Idle Hour will be
opened to members next spring.
The ordinary diversions of the country
club which has come to mean so much in
the lives of Americans who are placed in
or near the cities. OF course will be offered
freely. There will be an eighteen hole golf
course and tennis courts under the sky,
and broad floors for dancing and comforta-
BILE quarters for members under roof.
But there is so much more to tell that
one hardly knows where to begin in de-
scribing the variety of recreation that is to
be afforded The projectors intend to let
the. members enjoy virtually every kind of
sport and amusement the year around

No Club Ever Has Offered
Such Variety of Pastim,

Think OF country club with pipe or
gan, with library of 1000 volumes, with
hangar and landing field for aviators.
with so many miles of bride path it would
take a good horseman an hour to traverse
all of them, with five miles of winding
canals, with a polo field, with a garage for
100 cars, with modern dairy and kitchen
gardens. with a, heated pool for winter
swimming and water polo. with a baseball
diamond with parking space for hydro
planes with camps in the woods for the
children of members.
These are items picked at random, with
out attempt at arrangement in proper Sc
quence, from a responsible announcement
of what the club intends to do.
More than forty years ago William X.
Vanderbilt bought several tracts of farm
land and waterfront and combined them In
the estate which became show place OF
the South Shore OF Long Island. He told
the late Richard Hunt, one of our finest
architects, to select a site and build there
manor house, subject to these three con-
ditions:
First. the building must be the finest on
Long Island.
Second. 1t must be in the truest sense n
home.
Third, so far a. possible the materials.

Easy Access From Water

Access from the ocean and bay will be
easy. Yachts may slide up the river. drop
anchor in front of the manor house and
land their guests on float at the foot of
the terraces. There is basin space for
motor boats and sailing craft, too. An
area will be set aside for club hydroplanes.
Fine bird and duck shooting on the es-
tate and bass fishing in Great River are
mentioned by the founders as further en-
Elements for sportsmen. At one time deer
