eIIEN the Indianapolis Athletic Club building, now under construction at the southwest corner of Meridian and Vermont streets, is completed and ready for occupancy, Indianapolis will have anew landmark, a new show place, a great and wonderful new building and one of the finest and most complete athletic clubs in the United States. With fitting and impressive ceremonies the corner stone of the new building was laid this afternoon, with thousands of persons in attendance. Various business and civic clubs, realizing the importance of th eathletic club movement, were present at these ceremonies, for which officers and special committees of the club had planned for many weeks. Vhsn the clubhouse Is completed It will net only be one of the finest and most complete athletic club buildings In the United States but will combine the best features of all athletic dubs In the country, yet dist.nctly different from any other. The Indianapolis Athletic Club bejran with an Idea v\bi h occurred almost simultaneously to a ■mall group rs Indianapolis business men. The idea soon grew into an Idem and these men, animated with a common pt;rp- e. t out to create ’"the best possible sort < f club a man coni 1 belong to: a rial. that knows no group or class or interest; a club that draws its membership from the best men of all groups.” Facing the broad and stately Memorial Plaza, now in process of realization. the Indianapolis Athletic Club will rise to nine stories in height, its beautiful and imposing facade looking squarely across the plaza to the

east. Simplicity and beauty of the Italian renaitisance architecture will mark tin? new clubhouse, the architect's sketch for which appears on this page. The exterior of ihe building will be brick with stone trimming. The doorway to the main entrance on Meridian street is characteristic of ths renaissance period architecture with its fineness and simplicity, yet massive and stately. The Vermont street entrance will be sheltered by a decorative metal and glass canopy. The balcony und tali windows with tho rounded casements shown in the sketch, mark the main dining room. Just below will be the billiard and pool room. Above it aro the three stories of sleeping rooms, each floor with more than fifty sleeping rooms. Topping the structure will be tho enclosed roof garden. The garden will bo enclosed in glass which may be removed during the summer months. While the building will be flush with the sidewalk a patch of lawn between the sidewalk and curb will add a touch of beauty to the club house setting. The club house will really be divided lute practically three seetloua. The west eni of tbe building from basement to sixth floor will be occupied by the athletic section. The front part of the building from tin- basement to the sixth floor will b.. devoted to the social 'f- atures <-f the o! .b while flic sixth to tho ninth floors will be occupied by sleeping rooms. Officers of Hie club point out that The gyuii! i<i. m, swimming pool, howling u!le;>-, ritic range, handball and squash Courts, billiard r. m and indoor gulf oo ;rt> wi'* provide unrivalled fa Hint s for vvlii N-s >tt.o and agre-abte exercise. Th* dure lloosev-'t once said that "many tit*”, who do not ssiroeod in life ha -c Ml one :• blame ! it themselves. They fail to keep themselves physically t' nry F Campbell, president of the club, during recent months has received letters from the presidents of athletic clubs in all parts of the United States giving praise to the Indianapolis project. In addition the Indianapolis

Chamber of Commerce took 1 .. icial cognizance of the project by a.- uing to the members of the club an si retire hr.;, hure as an appreciation of the efforts of those Indianapolis men who made Ihe organization of the club possible and to those who enjoy the privileges of membership. F. L. Stein, president of the Athletic Club of Cleveland, Ohio, ln a letter to Mr. Campbell, said: “I am confident tn the assertion that you and your associates as well as tho cltiz.ens of your good city will be everlastingly grateful to those who hare assisted in making the Indianapolis Athletic Club ail that you would have lt.” J. M. Hays, president of tho Milwaukee Athletic Club, ln another letter to Mr. Campbell, said: "Every business man of your city, whether a member of your club or not, will be a sharer ln the benefits and privileges of your now building and should take an active interest in the project financially, as well as give It their moral support at all times." Similar letters have been received from all parts of the country. On of the Important committee* of the club has been the Committee of Sixty which has had a leading baud la
