THE PINKHUKST uuJ.uww - . - - . . rwi I IT Holt Prospects. A year ago it was reported that another season would reveal a de cay of the interest taken in golf on this side of the ocean, and that the sure sign of the decay would be the absence of any new c and a halt in the progress of cIuIm formed last year or the year before. There is no question, it seems, that the report found ready belief among even some of the closest observers of the game. We are glad to say, for the sake of this hardy and healthy sport, that the latest facts gainsay this report most emphati cally. In the tirst place, from Xew York to Florida golf was played steadily throughout the winter. There is nothing more helpful than sustained enthusiasm, particularly in new organizations, and, consequently, the beginning of spring finds the '98 and the '97 clubs strong and prosperous as ever, and with prospects that become fairer every day. This is equally true of the west and the east. Jt is especially noticeable in the changes of the courses. Clubs that, when they were formed, made a nine-hole course enough to serve their ardor, now, in most instances, use a course twice as long. Besides, the eluMiouses are be coming more and more substantial, and, with few exceptions, they have all been made suitable for the scene of champion ship tournaments. Nor is it to be over looked that the Scotch professionals, who talk and act with a manner of im portance passed down from father to son for many generations, are increasing in number. Now these are only the signs that ap pear at the private links. So far as the public or semi-public links are concerned, golf is moving along with wide and rapid strides, and evidently the sport in the suburban parks of the big cities this sea son will be lively beyond all precedent. All in all, golf promises to surpass here this summer the dreams of even its most fervid lovers, that is to say, it will reach a greater height of popularity than it has reached since its ancient founda tion.

Last Friday evening the parlors and dining room at the "Berkshire"" were the scene of a very pleasant gathering, when Dr. Hersey, whose birthday was so elaborately celebrated on St. Patrick's Day, gave a musicale to the guests there. The Holly Inn orchestra furnished mus ic, Miss Bates gave a piano solo and Mr. Ellis of the orchestra gave several vocal solos. The festivities ended with a dance in the dining room. During the evening ice cream and cake were served, and the occasion proved very enjoyable for all present. (Tune "The Old Xorth State.") Hail to Pinehurst! Favored Pinehurst! Where we find cheer and comfort! Such a welcome as thine quickens life and gives health. Like the balm of the ancients are thine air and thy sunshine, Gifts that cannot be purchased, though countless the wealth. REFRAIN. Hurrah! Hurrah! Then three times three for Pinehurst! Hurrah! Hurrah! For Pinehurst our host! When old Winter holds sway, in the home which we cherish, And the North-land is fast in the Ice-King's tight grip, But for thee and thy solvent, our hope e'en would perish, And despair from our life all its pleasure would strip. REFRAIN. To no fountain of youth, (still a snare and delusion) Are we led by the offer of health thou dost give; But to realms ever peaceful, far from noise and confusion, And to scenes bright and cheery, that command us to live. REFRAIN. Hail to Pinehurst! Favored Pinehurst! At thy hearth sits Hygeia, Fabled goddess of old, scattering health all around; As in days which are gone, so in time's largest future, May thy blessings continue and ever abound! President Meserve Lectures. President Meserve, of Shaw University of Raleigh, gave an interesting talk on "Hie Present Aspects of the Negro Problem" to a small but very attentive audience in the Village Hall last Wednes day evening. His hearers were mostly northern people and were anxious to hear the subject discussed by a man so well qualified as President Meserve. A collection amounting to more than $30.00 was taken for the use of the university. Dr. Hale Educational Fund. Last Wednesday two more students were sent to Kaelom academy by tlie managers of the Dr. IIale.Educational Fund and there are now three vounsr people receiving the benefits of that school by aid of this fund. Mrs. L. W. Goff of Bridgeport, Conn., who is spending the season here, has contributed enough for the support and tuition of one child (little Lena Bunnell) and no doubt will be interested in her future welfare. Efforts will be made during the sum mer to provide industrial training for the students and improve the school in every way possible. St In s;y, Well Katlier. The stingiest woman in the state has been discovered in a small town in the eastern part of Maine, if the story told by a drummer at the West End hotel the other night can be relied upon. He said a woman storekeeper in weighing a dime's worth of crackers observed that the scales were slightly overbalanced. She removed one cracker, and then the scales overbalanced. The customer was already worked up to a pitch of amazment; but when tne woman placed the cracker she had taken from the scales between her teeth and bit oft the corner and placed the remain der on the scales, he nearly dropped dead. The scales balanced exactly after the piece had been bitten from the trouble some cracker, and of course the stingy storekeeper was satisfied. The above story is a fact, and can be vouched for by the person who purchased the crackers, said the traveling man. Portland Com ier. Heed's Opinion of It. At a dinner party at which Speaker lieed and Ambassador C'hoate were pres ent ihe latter spoke of his share in draw ing up the new Constitution of New York. He said that it was a noble document, and in no part was he so much interested as in that which prohibited the members of the New York Assembly from accept ing passes from railroads. Jn conclusion he said : "I am happy to say that never in my life did I ride on a railroad pass une oi tne members or the dinner party looked at Choate with hearty admiration, and said: "Well, I wish I could say that." Speaker Reed looked at the speaker in his whimsical way for a mo ment, and then solemnly said: "Well, why don't you? Choate did." Ex.
