Club
The trouble with many country clubs is that they are never in the right place. A man joins a club, uses it for three months in the summer, and spends the rest of his time elsewhere. Ah, if his club could only follow him about, if it would come when called, and bring its dining rooms, lockers, bar, dance floor wherever it was told. "Let us have a club like that," said a group of Florida enthusiasts; forthwith organized a company to buy a $400,000 sailing ship from the Government, and equipped it as a club which would cruise in northern waters for nine months of the year, go south in the winter. Vincent Richards, insurance broker (tennis), was elected President; Francis T. Hunter, publisher (tennis), Arthur B. ("Bugs") Baer, humorist, Fontaine Fox, cartoonist, are on the board of governors. The club will be called "The Buccaneers".
