The Pittsburgh Country Club 
fine golf links, lawn tennis courts, bowling alleys, polo 
field, riding, driving, coaching and concerts are all 
available to the members and guests. The club forms 
an important factor in the social life of Pittsburgh. 
The club is a very progressive one, and its board 
of directors are enthusiastic in widening its spheres. 
Eventually it will possess a swimming-pool and 
indoor riding-school as well as its own greenhouse. 
The pool has already been designed. It is proposed 
to build the pool sixty feet long and thirty feet wide, 
also to have a suite of Turkish baths attached and 
an instructor in swimming will be in attendance 
who can teach the children of the members, and be 
responsibleTor their safety. 
For the near future a few squash courts, more 
tennis courts, tether ball and bowling on the green, 
with a good gymnasium are already planned. 
The club already possesses accommodation for 
sixty horses and polo ponies as well as commodious 
stabling. It is expected sometime in the future the 
Pittsburgh horse shows will be held in the riding- 
school. A competent riding master is always in 
attendance, and is subject to the call not only of 
members of the club but their families. 
A unique feature of the club is the possession of 
several pleasure vehicles. The four-in-hand coach 
“Hiawatha,” the four-in-hand break, and the 
tandem-cart have all been given to the club by some 
of its horse-loving members, and are fully appreciated. 
Polo ponies for riding, or for polo practice, may be en¬ 
gaged at any time except on days when a match game 
is going on and lessons in polo may be arranged for. 
The club being a mile or a mile and a half away 
from the street cars, arrangements are made, whereby 
members not choosing to go in their own, or not pos¬ 
sessing their own conveyances, can be taken to the 
club by the club’s automobiles and wagonettes. 
The outdoor sports are confined to golf, and tennis. 
Golf being the chief game of interest at this country 
club, and though only possessing a nine hole course, 
its members are enthusiastic lovers of the sport. 
The holes are all visible from the club porches. 
Every privilege is given to ladies and children to 
make full and free use of the club house and ground tor 
afternoon teas, porch parties, picnics, card parties,etc. 
The Country Club of Pittsburgh is perhaps the 
only club in the United States owning its own herd 
of registered Jersey cattle as well as a herd of Berk¬ 
shire swine. They also grow their own vegetables 
and raise their own chickens.
