Ur- A few years ago ■, * 'the attention of ; ,/V.v ! t or three gen tleraen of means i jtTiure was called to the advantages of vs 1 -an island between St. Simon’s and Cumberland on the Georgia coast. An iso utei position and genial climate rendered t particularly suitable for the establishment of a country club aud game preserve. This unknown spot was then covered with a denM forest of pine and a thick undergrowth of pslmettoes. Birds of brilliant plumage minded their liquid notes with the grunt of the wild hog. while the swamp* and low savannas were literally overrun with deer and wild cattle. replete with historic reminischnces. In the palmy days of the old south, when slavery was at it* hight, Jokyl was aaideal plantation, and from its sandy sborsl was shipped the finest quality of sea island cot tea. In historic Interest this favored spot rivals even Frederica, a town across the lav, where Gen. Oglethorpe built his first stronghold against the Spaniards. The island, which was named in honor of Sir Jose"h Jekyl, a distinguished jurist in the time of George 111., has been the scene of many stirring events, and its rich soil was doluged with" the blood of many brave sol diers during the early struggles between the Spaniards and English. In !7oS, however, Gen. Oglethorpe made an expedition from his garrison town on St. Simon’s, established a settlement on Jekyl, and induced bis friend and junior In com mand, liaj. Horton, to locate permanently there. Rye, barley and other grains wore then planted and an orange grove laid out. This flourished until the great freeze 100 years later. A brewery, said to be the first on this continent, was also erected, aud a superior quality of beer and ale furnished ts the tr ins aDd adjacent colonists. Toward tho uortli end of the island the ruins < f a:i old tabby house erected by Ogle thorpe still remain, as well us those of an old family mansion of ante-bellum days. Under the early regime, Jekyl became fa mum farthe quality of its crops, nod when in ISOS it came into tho possession of tho duDignnni, a distinguished French family, it was tii? mast onviod spot on the coast. Admiral dußignon had boon an owner cf fast estates on the Island of Martinique, out when Napoleon was exiled to Elba he sola out everything and moved his 1.200 slaves to Jekyl. Montgomery Folsom tolls the following interesting story of Jekyl and old Admiral oußipioa: SI'CCORIVO THE SLAVE SHIP WANDERER.

It was then that fair Jekyl experienced a reign cf terror. The darkles respected no law—slaughtered deer and e ther gams in and out of sea-on, and made no attempt whatever to cultivate any more than a few patches of ground for their immediate use. Fortunately, however, John dußignon, a direct desoemlant of the old admiral, re claimed bis inheritance and awoke the negroes from their halcyor.ic dream of bliss. He immediately began the erection of com fortable dwellings aud restocked the island with cattle. Innumerable droves of wild hogs, rivaling in size even those of the fam ous Black forest, wandered over the island, aud many horses were caught tna: had never known halter or bridle. Mr. du- Bignon’s task was not an easy one, but to tuofc a degree of perfection did be bring Jekyl that It soon fceoauie one of the most valuable properties on the coast. maj. Fin net’s coxcf.pjtoiv . It was at this juncture that Maj. N. S. Finney, a brother-in-law of Mr. dußignon, and a prominent Union Club man, con ceived tho idea of establishing a sou hern Tuxedo. A numtier of his friends became interested, and when they learned the natural advantages of Jekyl as a winter re sort and game preserve a visiting commit tee was dispatched to examine tho site. Thoir report was unanimously a favorable 0,,e. and the necessary number of names was qnickly subscribed. Negotiati ns then began for ibe puroliase of the island, which passed out of the bands of Mr. dußignon for #125.000. A charter was obtained under the laws of the state of Georgia with the following in corporators: Oliver K. King, Thomas Cur tis Clarke, William B. DeWolf, N. 8. Fin ney, Richard L. Ogden, John F. dußignon, Charles L. Schlatter, Jr., and Alfred J. Crovatt. WHY THIS CLUB WAS FORMED. The objects and purposes of the club are clearly set forth m the following extraots from Its charter: 1.

That tho directors of the Jekyl Island Club are determined to restrict the -laugh ter of game is shown by the following rules and regulati ns for the government of the gams department of this season: The open season for the killing of quail shall begin Nov. 1 and rise March 15; phea-ants, from Nov. 1 to March 15; deer, from Nov. 1 to Feb. 15; wild turkevs, from Nov. 1 to April 1; rabbits, from Nov. 1 to April L Ducks and other migratory fowl maybe killed at all times, alio wild hogs, minks, possum, coons aud hears.

No boys under lfi shall be ullowed to carry or shoot firearms except in target practice at tho butts, or clay pigeon shooting, under the supervision of uu officer or member of the club. During the season of ISSO-Tll a limit of sixty quail per week also twelve cock pheas ants for the seas n, shall be placed on each share. The penalty for snooting hen pheas ants shall he $5 for each hint. Each share shall lie entitled once only during a season to delegate to one guest, for one weok at a time, without renewal to same person by himself or any other mem ber, full power to shoot in his stead; but if personally present each member shall be entitled to invite not more than two guests to shoot with him, provided that the total score of a member and his guests shall not exceed the score to which his share or shares may be entitled; but no member shall have the right to transfer his shooting to another member. Deer shall only be still-hunted without dogs. Each shar9 shall be allowed to kill three bucks (but no docs) and five wild tur keys during the season. Momb r • or visitors wishing to shoot must give notice at the office before so doing, and make returns there in the game book pro vided for thar, purpoie of tho number and kind killed each day. Such members and thoir guests as desire to hunt or shoot with rifles rnu .t leave word at the office of the fact; also e.s near as possible the direction they intend to take, and the area they propose to shoot over. All lifie shooting, except in target practioe st the bu‘ ts, must take place between tho hours of 4 and 9 o’clock a. m. At least one-half of the game shot by guests and members occupying quarters at the eiub house shall be turned over to tho club.jto be served for the use of all. No guns or ammunition shall bo taken to bedrooms, nor shall any gun be cleaned or loaded iu the club bouse or grounds, except in the gun house, where loczers for guns, ammunition, etc., will be provided for such members as may wish. The gun house will remain closed on Sundays, and all shooting is strictly prohibited on that day. The duties of the hoad gamekeeper shall be to take charge of tiie breeding, preserva tion and caro of game. He shall take bis instructions fr <m the committee through tho superintendent uni be responsible to him for their proper performance. All guides, hunters and gamekeepers shall be under the general charge of the head gamekeeper, subject to the orders and ap proval of the superintendent of the ciub. He shall keen a diary, in which ho shall enter daily all matters pertaining to his de partment; also a game book, in which ho shall enter everything killed by each mem ber or visitor. TID requisitions for sup plies siiait be made on tbe superintendent m writing, and a copy of each entered iu the diary, together with tho date of de livery. No empl -yes of the club, except the super intendent, the head gamekeeper, and such employes as the superintendent may au thorize in writing, shall have, carry or shoot any firearms on the island, or shall have or u e any traps, or shall have or use any cats or dogs, or shall take any birds or eggs, except as authorized above, under penalty of instant dismissal. TO DI STILL MORE BEAUTIFIED, The acquisition of Jekyl Island was only the beginning of a gigantic undertaking, and the transforming of this vast wildirness into a game preserve, the laying out of sixty miles of walks and drives and the draining of the savannas, was by no means an easy undertaking. The services of a noted land soape engineer were oagaged, and before the end el this season the grounds will be still more beautified with plants and shrubbery, and an ocean drive will enoircle the entire Island. As one approaches Jekyl from Brunswick harbor the sharp gables and lofty towers of the club home seem to rise from the heart of a dense pine forest. It is situated upon a knoll to the southward and westward on the inland side of the island. The north end, though more pioturesque than the spot selected, is inaccessible, and in heavy weather there would be bo lee under which steamers could land. The island is eleven miles long by two wide and is crescent shaped. Between the herns is a deep and safe anchorage for yachts—indeed, it has been rumored that tne New York Ya ht Club intends to erect a float acd club house there in the near future, and that Jekyl Island will become the southern rendezvous of ths yacht fl-et. The present club house is a s ibstantial brick struciure four stones high. It con tains seventy-eight rooms. There are large parlors, reception and dinir g rooms, all furnished with large, old-fashioned open fire places. It is fitted with every modern con venience that comfort demands or taste could suggest. The wooden trimmings, doors and wainescotiug are of stained cherry, tne oelii.g of Georgia pine and the office of antique oarved oak. A broad veranda extends around the entire frnnt. In the center is a semi-oirc ilar sun porch, and on the southwest comer an oriole porti co. In the rear of this is a port c cohere. On the southern end of the building ac r cular tower rises twenty-five feet above the roof. This commands a migmficent vie w of St. Simon’s Island on the north, and Carnegie’s princely estate on Cumberland Island on the south. PHEASANTS SUCCESSFULLY BRED. The experiment of breeding English pheasants and California quail has given most satisfac ory results to the game com mittee of the Jekyl Island Club. When they first took possession of the Island 5,' 00 native quail, 100 pheasants aud a few Cali fornia quail were imported. The native birds were turned loose, while the English specimens were bred by the gamekeeper. At the er.d of the first season more tian I. young pheasants wero hatched. And it has sines been found that they are breed ing rapidly in the wild stale, something which has always been deemed impossible by the English gamekeepers. Like all luxuries Jekyl comes high, and it costs a member from #4 to #8 per day to live there exclusive of dues and other assess ments. The service^however, is excellent, and the cuisine rivals even Delmonico’s. According to the constitution of the club no member or any of his family oan occupy apartments for any longer than two weeks in or.e season should they be desired by other members. There is some talk of build ing another club bouse, so popular was the island during last season. There are now eighty-three members enrolled in the Jekyl Island Club. They are as follows: Lloyd Aspinwall, New York; William Austin, New York ; W. P. Anderson, Cincinnati; J. J. Albright, Buffalo, N. Y.; Frederic Dakar, New York; John C. Barron, Now York.
