Golf at Babylon

C. A. W. Fox, of the Meadow Brook club, will superintend the construction of the golf greens that August Belmont proposes to have established on his estate at Babylon. This will he a twelve hole course, with a circuit of two and three-quarter miles. The greens may be extended to eighteen holes, with a circuit of three and a half miles.
