THE PINE HURST OUTLOOK.
2
about four inches each way. In the cen
tre of this was placed a small after-dinner
colVee cup. You were obliged to
snap the chip into that in order to "hold
out."
The players found, of course, that if
they just missed the cup and landed near
it they M ere unable to make a successful
shot until they got a little way from the
cup.
New rules were made as a case for arbi
tration came up, as when one chip rested
on another, preventing the under one to
play in his turn. Kalph, as judge, decided
that in such a cause the topmost man
must remove his chip one inch to the left
or right of the under chip, but not for
ward or behind it.
A change w;is made later on regarding
the hole. It was found that the coftee
cup was rather high to play into, and so
some round, shallow cut glass salt cel
lars were found which exactly filled the
bill.
It wa9 also found expedient not to have
the. line of play too near the edge of the
table, as it made one liable to send the
chips rolling oil' on the floor. After a
while the player became so proficient that
even the "bogey score'1 was beaten, and
it was found advisable to increase the
number of hazards. A couple of water
hazards in the shape of a soup plate half
filled were introduced, with a penalty of
two strokes attached. As in real golf,
foursomes are possible, but the best game
is "every man for himself." Score cards
are necessary, but caddies are not.
You can't imagine what a jolly game
this is till you try it. Syracuse (Ar. Y.)

The entrance fee of twentv-five cents for
Mr. and Mrs. Uiiderhill.
Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Underbill of Bos
ton, Mass., who stopped over here on
their way to California, were pleasantly
surprised last Friday evening by their
friends at the Cedars, who presented
them with a beautiful bon bon dish as a
reminder of Pinehurst. Mr. Underhill,
while here, was active in the church
work and the many friends of Mr. and
Mrs. Underhill will be pleased to know
that that they have already engaged their
rooms for next season. Dr. Parcels, also
a guest at the Cedars, has written a poem
which he read in the parlors there which
deserves to live and will live in the
hearts of all who have met the genial Dr.
who having been a sruest at the Cedars
for the past three seasons says he can
say nothing but good of Pinehurst.
"Ships that pass in the night,
And speak each other in passing;
Only a look, a voice,
Then darkness again and a silence."
Are we like "ships that pass in the night,"
"Only a look, a voice," nothing more?
The likeness's not time, at least not quite;
For Pinehurst's a harbor, ample, secure.
Once we are here, our boat's in the bay,
Reefed are the sails, the anchor is set;
Then, all at once, our cares fly away,
And they leave not one pang of regret.
Strange that first sound that breaks on the ear,
Like water o'er cataract flowing;
No need to fear, no danger near,
Just zephyrs through pine trees a-blowing.
We heard, I know, in Lebanon first,
Of the cedars so green and so till ;
But to the "Cedars" here in Pinehurst,
Homage we bring and offer it all.
Best of all in this cozy retreat,
While enjoying our rest and leisure,
Is friendship of those that daily we meet;
This adds very much to our pleasure.
Soon comes the day, up anchor, away,
And out on the ocean we'er sailing;
Again meet some day? good friends we may,
So there'll be no weeping nor wailing.
Eager again to join in the strife,
When our stay at the "Cedars" is ended;
Each frail barque on the ocean of life,
Will accept what fate has intended.
In that harbor of rest evermore,
When each joy and each sorrow is past;
Where waves roll not, nor mad tempests roar,
May we each cast an anchor at last.

I I think I would like to look at a
diamond ring," said the young man as
the jeweler came forward.
"Exactly, sir. A diamond ring for a
lady?"
"Yes."
"A young lady?"
"Yes."
"A young lady to whom you are
engaged?"
"What's the difference whether I'm
engaged to her or not?" asked the cus
tomer with considerable tartness.
"A irreat deal. You intend this ring
for a Christmas present, probably?"
"I probably do."
"Very well. We have diamond rings
for $25 and diamond rings for 50, $75
and $100. If not actually engaged to the
girl, take a $25 ring, and when she brings
it in here to find out the cost we'll lie $50
worth foryour benefit. If really engaged,
take a higher price, and you can pawn it
for two-thirds of its value after marriage.
Now then, make your selection."
