(Continued from Page Three shares to be issued and sold at once at par, payable $500 at time of purchase and $500 every three months thereafter until the total $2,500 be paid; only one share to be sold to a person. The stock is not to be offered promis cuously, but to a clientele that will in sure the eongenialty and good fellowship vhich is the club's ideal. Each stock holder at once becomes an active mem ber of the club, with a vote which gives him an equal share with all the others in its control, since only one share will be issued to a person and only stockholders may vote. All moneys received for shares go at once into the improvement and construction of the Club property. In order to start business immediately, a charter has been taken out with a total authorized capital stock of $375,000, with the provision that the Club may begin business when $100,000 (represent ing 40 shares) shall have been subscribed for. Knollwood, Inc., has therefore, sub scribed for 36 shares and this, with the stockholders of Knollwood, Inc., as de scribed above, makes something over the necessary 40 shares taken. Later the 36 Knollwood, Inc. shares will be resold to different individuals. Knollwood, Inc. has also deeded to the Club about 150 acres of land at $100 an acre, which is less than cost. This land will be the site of the clubhouse, an 18-hole Donald Ross golf course, and the tennis courts. The charter having been granted and the necessary shares subscribed, the Club organized for one year, at a meeting held January 15, 1921. It was voted that the officers of Knollwood, Inc. serve the Mid-Pines Country Club in the same ca pacities for the year. Annual dues were fixed at $150 for the year. It was fur ther voted that work on the clubhouse and grounds and the golf links proceed immediately. By-laws for the conduct of the Clul) for the ensuing year were drawn up; the substance of these will be found under the heading "Advantages of Membership," at flic end of this sheet. Location of Mid-Pines Country Club The clubhouse will be in the heart of Knollwood, a most exclusive residential section now under development. About five minutes' drive from the Southern Pines depot (on the Seaboard Airline main line), the site of the house is on the southwest side of Midland Road which connects Pinehurst and Southern Pines about one-third nearer the Pine hurst end of Knollwood. Every road in Knollwood will lead to the Mid-Pines Country Club, which by its own virtues, even more than by the happy circum stances of its location, will be the center of the social life of the community. Its own equipment will provide plenty of sport at home, but whenever a change is desired, a pleasant ten-minute drive through Southern Pines brings one to the Southern Pines Country Club and links. Or the race tracks, Gun Club, and aviation field at Pinehurst, and the Sand Hills Polo Club fields, are only three miles away in the other direction, over a splendid motor road. Although high, the site of the house is well sheltered on the north and east by a ridge covered with young pine trees. On the south and west is a beautiful grove of large pines interspersed with dogwood, which will add much to the beauty of the landscape in the spring. Its Equipment The House. Aymar Embury, 11, ia the architect of the house, which will be a brick veneer structure. It. is planned that half can be built at a time and that half will be complete in itself. Tho first half is being starred at once. When membership warrants it, the second half, in harmony with the first, Avill be added to make a perfect whole. The completed house will be three stories high and over 500 feet long, with more than 100 bed rooms for members, each with a private bath; two large fire-proof locker rooms for men and one for women; card rooms; billiard rooms; two enormous sun rooms; an entertainment room for amateur theatricals, moving picture "pops," etc. The glory of the house is, as it should be, the living room, Avlucli will be 36 feet by 86 feet, facing south and east and looking out upon an open terrace. At its two huge fireplaces may foregather on cool evenings the veterans of the day's play and their victims. The main dining room will be 36 feet by 75 feet, with two private dining rooms, each 14 feet by 36 feet. Their exposure is east and west. The kitchen, an important though humble adjunct, will be 70 feet by 32 feet; the servants' quarters, 100 feet by 32 feet, and three stories high. The advisability of setting off a por tion of the sleeping quarters for a bachelor's apartment is under considera tion, but action on that point will be de ferred until a majority of the final stock holders can pass upon it. Sporting facilities. On the grounds and convenient to the house will be six clay tennis courts. Four of these are being built at once. Adjacent to the house will be an 18 hole Donald Ross golf course. Mr. Ross is working upon it already and has agreed to put it right through. In choosing the site for this course Mr. Ross had the opportunity of his ca reer. His fellow Mid-Pines Club stock holders were naturally as desirous as h of having the links a first-class and ex ceptionally interesting test of the game, meeting the highest standards of present dav golf. They accordingly gave him his choice of the 5000-odd acres comprising Knollwood. With so generous a range of happy possibilities, a selection was made which arouses even his Scotch en thusiasm. It is being developed into a Ross masterpiece. Mr. Warren II. Manning is laying out the land surrounding the clubhouse and links, as well as all the rest of Knoll wood, so that the whole countryside may befit the beautiful clubhouse and its setting. Time will be taken to have house, grounds and links jusr right. November 1, 1921, is the earliest possible opening date and all plans have been made to achieve it. That date makes scant al lowance for the ever lurking contingen cies of building, however. The most re mote opening date, barring extraordinary accidents, is January 1, 1922.
