The club house will be located in the northwest corner of the grounds which are laid out in the Rice property about one mile and a hall from the city. The electric cars will run close to the house and it will be so arranged that you can step from the piazza onto the cars. The room en semble of the house will be over 50 feet square, with toilet annexes and lockers, an up-to-date kitchen will also be found under the same roof. Apartments will also be made in the loft. This Queen Ann style of structure will wear a 12-foot Queen Ann collar in the shape of a piazza. Hot platinum wires will light the interior. The cost of this club house with everything complete will not be far from $2,000 which will be raised by subscriptions, a good part of which is already subscribed.

The motion was made and carried by the directors that the annual dues of the club be $5, and that the admittance of members be only upon vote of the cIub. The members have been instructed to spread the information that persons interested in golf and the formation of an organization for the playing of the same may leave their names with the secretary and they will be acted upon by the club. Important points for the constitution and by-laws were discussed, but it was left for a succeeding meeting to formally draft the instrument--Sentinel.
