GOLF CLUB'S NEW HOME.

As announced In last week's Recorder, the Rip Van Winkle Golf and Coun­try Club will at once move from its first home, the Alason property in Palenvllle, to the Htnman house In that village, a building which It has purchased from. O. F. Payne, together with the Henry Saxe farm adjoining, the two properties giving the Club about a hundred acres of land. This acquisition is near the old Catskill Mountain railroad "station and much more convenient of access than the Mason house In which the Country Club began two years ac;o I t s prosi>erous existence. The entire con­tents of the Hlnman house are Included in the purchase and involve the equip­ment of a well-stocked Summer board­ing house, its tableware, linen and fur­niture. The house has be^ti carefully kept and Is In perfect order, supplied with all modern conveniences.

The exterior is pleasing, with a broad porch about three sides of the house, looking out upon the quaint old gardens nnd the valley of Falling Waters, with the purple peaks of the Catskllls brood­ing over all. Within, the arrangement is admirably adapted for club life. O n the first floor are smoking and card rooms, spacious reception rooms with. fireplaces, a large dining room and a m ­ple kitchen, laundry and - refrigerating room. There are fourteen pleasant bed- . rooms. The Saxe house Is to the L a s t and contains eight rooms. There are great barns and other outbuildings, a n d two orchards of peach, cherry, pear and. apple trees—more than 250 In all—with a vineyard and all sorts of berries.

Two tennis courts and a nine-holtt golf course will be immediately laid out, and it is believed thnt the conditions are ideal for their construction. Th«; -iater-ing and house service are in most effi­cient hands, and It is planned to keep the club house open far into the year, so that both Fall and Winter sports may be enjoyed there. Members are requested to use the house privileges for board and lodging, with the expecta­tion that a good income may be derived from this source alone.

Palenvllle Summer Visitor Honored. Col. John F. Hobbs, whose Summer

home is at Palenvllle and whose fam­ily came to the Catskills to-day, has cause to be very proud of Aliss Ethel, his oldest daughter. Besides being head of her class in Hunter College of the City of New York (of which she Is now a senior), "leading lady" of the Hunter College Riding Club and "finan­cial boss" of her Camp Fire Club, she has been elected for both the short and the long term a s president of the Phi Sigma PsI Fraternity, one of the larg­est and most exclusive fraternities of Hunter College. Hunter College is the second largest female college in the United States. Aliss Hobbs w a s unani­mously elected president against her wish" and had the office forced upon her though it Is a coveted honor for which there is always keen competition. Re­cently Aliss Hobbs was selected from among one thousand young ladies in Hunter College to represent the student body at one of the college's notable and historical events. Nineteen hundred twenty will be the Golden Anniversary of Hunter College, so Miss Hobbs will not only be the Golden Anniversary president of the Phi Sigma PsI but she will be a Golden Anniversary graduate of this noted institution. She has many friends in Palenville and the surround­ing country, who are always glad when she comes to the mountains.

Heroic Effort to Save Lives .

Charles Kelk of Cairo, aged eleven years, is deserving of a big gold m e d a l . for attempting to save the lives of h is brother Albert and Carl Drieker of H o ­boken, the latter a nephew of Otto Pfordte, who lives just this side o£ Cairo.

These are the circumstances: On W e d ­nesday afternoon the Drieker boy, the Kelk hoys and George Witt of New "York, a boarder at Kelk's, went for a swim i n the deep hole above Cairo, near the G a y -head road. The Kelk lads could swim, but Drieker and Witt could not, and a m ­bled along the shore; Drieker finally g o t into a- boat and put his"feet into tho water, hanging onto the boat all the time. Albert Kelk, an Albany Medical Col­lege student, finally came ashore" and told the others it was time to coma out. Drieker and Charles Kelk were skylarking in the boat, and when tha tatter's brother looked, again he s a w neither of the boys, so plunged into t h e hole, thirty or forty feet deep, and a t ­tempted to rescue them. Charles c a m e , up, but his companion had a tight hold on him, which he managed to break, and Drieker sank back into the water. Albert went after him, his brother also making another attempt and gett ing hold of a body which proved to be h i s brother, who was clasped around the neck by Drieker. Charles Kelk m a n ­aged to release Albert, get him into the' boat and row ashore, but he was black; in the face "and did not breath. T h a eleven-year-old lad knew nothing about resuscitation, but had once seen a m o v ­ing picture where a drowning lad had been brought back to life, and he went to work doing what he could remember, getting breath into his brother's body before assistance arrived.

Coroner W. M. Rapp was notified, and with Coroner's Physician E . H. Hunt ­ington of Cairo went to the scene of the drowning, giving a verdict of "acci­dental drowning."

Drieker's body was recovered about 8 o'clock In the evening by Gaston Wynkoop nnd a party with grappling irons.

As was said before, Charles .Kelk i s deserving a medal.
