real estate denla, iieverthcle. were nc
gntlnted lust week, lino was a trmis
actlon as Inrge aa that of acquiring a
site for the athletic club.
This was the ac'tulslt iton by the Over

st Thirtieth and Kamam streets for
what amounted roundly to J'W.OnO.
In the meantime other large denla are
pending. Home more For nam street prop

probably result In a dale of considerable
proportions somo lima this week,
Tha rtlslto Realty company la said to
have practically cloned Its denl for a
long-term lease on some Klxtcenlh street
property, where the company Is said to
be contemplating a large combination
movie theater and hotel, ,
Mark Competition,
Meantime much competition Is In evi
dence among real estate men and the
bualness men In an effort to swing Ilia
location of tha Athletic club to this or
that section of the city.
The southeast corner of fourteenth
and Farnam streets up to the prenent
time has tha largest and most substan
tial following of holsters who are will
ing to club together with a bonus so
substantial that this corner, although
valued at something like to,ono, would
occasion tha club an outlay of actual
caah not to exceed perhaps IO,(iO.
Other propositions aro being consid
ered, however, and real astute men with
good locations at their disposal aro
greatly Interested In the ultimata de
cision of tha executive committee of the
club with regard to the definite location.
