 own peculiar advantages and chance for individual arrangement. 

 A small example of such a scheme is shown in the plan of an at-

The same principles as apply to the parks and 

 larger estates make the matter of planning for the

 so arranging the location of buildings and spaces 

 for sports as not only to give a feasible practical arrangement, but 

 also to lend that touch of nature which the clubman leaving his 

 business for recreation craves, so that he will feel he is enjoying
