Show HI I Saunterings Hi BB A committeo of forty is to have charge of tho m formation of a now country club on the east Bj bench and practically thirty of tho forty on the w selected list have accepted. Each one of the B forty is to subscribe $1,000 which is to be B' used to complete tho golf links, tennis courts, B polo grounds and build the first unit of tho magni- B flcent new clubhouse which, as planned, will B eventually cost upwards of $100,000 when com- H pleted, the first unit to cost $25,000. The en- m thusiasm is such that it is expected that the lists m will be closed within a fortnight and the club H installed in its home during the summer, fl A good many people have been speculating on m tho subject of two country clubs -and what the H effect will be, but we have found there is no fric- H tion wliatever between tho clubs, the new club B having waited a year and a half for the old club H to sell its ground and come in. Practically all H tho members of tho new club are members of H tho old and they are in the new project through H a desire to see- such an ideal summer place as H Salt Lake have a real country club with an WM eighteen hole golf course, such as other cities of Hfl the same size have. H Tho beautiful spring days are bringing out H the golfers In force at the Country club, and the H little white balls are (lotting the landscape and H the water ditches. The nine-hole course has again H been overcrowded causing tedious waiting nnd H expert dodging of balls and it is small wonder H that many of those who .are fiends at the game H have cast longing glances towards the east H bench where the new course is being laid out. H H Among tho tennis experts who have recently B become fascinated by the royal and ancient game H are Sam iNeel and T. W. Boyer. The latter has H developed a drive as long and straight as that of Hj a veteran at the game and Sam Neel's tennis H wrist works to 'admirable effect. It would not H bo surprising if these two recruits will make some H trouble for the hoot mons in the tournaments this Hj year. B H Reverting to tho committee of forty it is un- H derstood that they will decide as to the new H club, initiations, dues, etc., and it is said that H while there is plenty of money back of the en- H terprise it is not the intention to make it so ex- H elusive and expensive that only a few can af- H ford to belong to it. The rumor is rife and it H has come pretty straight that Mr. Jackling uifd H that when tlie organization is completed and the Hi now club takes possession of Its quarters dur- H ing the season that his subscription, which is H $10,000.00, will be made a present to the club.

B The plans as announced have created a furore H among those who like to take to the country as Bfl soon as the snow melts and the new club has H been the subject of frequent and animated dis- H missions for several weeks. H At the annual meeting of the Tennis club held BB n Monday, directors were chosen as follows: Mrs. R. W. 'Salisbury, Miss Kate Williams, C. W. B1 Whitley, Fred Cowans, O. J. Salisbury, F. T.
