The splendid new club house of the New York Athletic Club is probably the finest building in the country belonging to an athletic organization. Beside the usual rooms of a club house it contains a gymnasium hall, and other rooms devoted to athletic exercises. The gymnasium hall occupies the whole of what would ordinarily be two stories at the top of the building. Its size may be approximated in the mind of the reader, by learning that the track which is in a balcony like the one in the Hemenway gymnasium, is 21 laps, while the Harvard track measures 17 to the mile. The apparatus for this new gymnasium was prepared under the supervision of Dr. Sargent, and embraces all the essential machines for muscle making. Under this hall, on the third floor, are the lockers, 1024 in number. Connected with these are the toilet and dressing rooms. On the same floor is a large sparring room. Here exhibitions of the manly art will be given, and members will practice. Leading out of the sparring room is a rubbing-down room containing shower and douche baths. In the basement of the house are six bowling alleys and rooms for tricycles and bicycles. These complete the list of athletic features; but there is one other department mention of which ought not to be omitted. That is the Turkish and Russian baths on the first floor. These are very large and complete, accommodations for thirty men being provided. Connected with them is a splendid cold water swimming tank. It is the finest thing in the whole building, and is 70 feet long, 20 feet wide, and 13 feet deep at the shallowest point.
