A Creditable Showing. One of the best evidences of the grow ing popularity of Pinehurst is the pat ronage of the Berkshire hotel, which is now under the excellent management of Mr. F. B. Kimball, proprietor of the Eagle Inn, of Orwell, Vt. On January 1 the number of guests at the Berkshire was over 50 per cent in advance of the number in the hotel on the same day of the precediug season, and at present the hotel is filled, and has been for several weeks, to its utmost capacity. A large number of guests who could not secure rooms at this popular hotel have taken rooms in adjacent cottages, going to the Berkshire for meals. The seating capac ity of the dining room was increased during the past week, but notwithstand ing, Manager Kimball is still unable to meet all demands and has been com pelled to lengthen the dining room hours. Is Spring: Time Here? Have you noticed those pretty little yellow flowers blooming along the paths in Pinehurst? Of course you have. "Well, then of course you know that they are the Jasminum Xudijlorum,, as the botanist says, or the yellow jasmine, as we ordinary mortals say. But these are only the avants couriers of the flowery battalions that will soon be here and in full bloom. You have also noticed the song of the mocking bird? No? Well, it is also here, and very much in evidence. You can hear the largest chorus of these warblers in the neighborhood of the deer park and they seem to sing a joyous welcome to the fairest season of the year, for in spite of the untrustworthy figures on the calendar spring has come in Pinehurst, if nature's signs are evi dence, and we believe in signs. Clay Pigeon Tournament. A tournament at clay pigeons was held at the Pinehurst Shooting Battery, Monday, March 10, 1902. The condi tions were IS yards rise, and 25 birds. One barrel only was allowed. The first prize, a handsome cup, was won by Mr. Frank Presbrey, of Xew York City. The second prize, a stein, was won by Mr. James D. Foote, of Xew Ptochelle, N. Y. Following was the score : Frank Presbrey, 00011-01111-11111-11101.11111-20 J. D. Foote, 10001-10101-01111-01111-10100-15 I. C. B. Dana, 00000-00110-00000-10000-1 1CO0-- 5 E. P.

I have the pleasure of being accosted so often now by guests in search of knowledge pertaining to the proper names of the many kinds of trees and shrubs planted on the grounds in Pine hurst, and also those kept under cultiva tion at the Pinehurst nurseries, that I trust that a few notes concerning them will not come entirely amiss. The tall growing shrub with bright green, gracefully waving branches planted so frequently is Scotch Broom, (Genista Scoparia). It is a native of Central Europe, and is hardy about everywhere in the eastern part of the United States. Belonging to the pulse family, it produces in spring a wealth of golden yellow pea flowers of pleasant fragrance, which grow from the axils of the leaves and actually cover the plant. It is a rapid grower and stands pruning to any shape. While it prefers light sandy loam it can be grown to perfec tion in almost any soil, and adapts itself to nearly any locality. lhe Scotch Broom is not yet grown as generally as it deserves. The most conspicuous of who desired to take them home as sou venirs. The Holly (Ilex Opaca) which is found so numerously now on the grounds, is a native of this section and is growing well. As to its hardiness various opinions are extant. We know of a case where it has withstood the severe a Inters of Maine for over 10 years now under hardly any protection, and should believe that it is fairly hardy as far as Boston, anyway, wherever it is protected against the sudden changes of sun heat and niffht frosts in earliest spring. It may not be generally known that a good many more plants succumb to these sudden changes of temperature than freeze out during a very cold spell of weather. The simple reason is that the sun warmth makes their sap rise during day time and changes them from nearly lifeless to vegetating plants. A shelter of brush is often sufficient pro tection in such cases. To transplant holly successfully it has either to be deprived of its foliage, or has to be pruned back very severely. The two large specimens in front of the Holly Inn were moved there six years ago direct from the woods, were defoliated at once, and have not lost an inch of wood by dying off. Where hollies have to be shipped for any distance the result may Nu 1900 V .1 ? &&ft the Magnolias which have been planted n town thus far is the Southern Mag nolia, (Magnolia Grantliflora). It is a magnificent tree in every way, and the only drawback known to the writer is that it is not entirely hardy everywhere. It is evergreen, has very large, broad, and shining leaves, and brings forth its snow-white flowers of very large size in early summer. It can be grown success fully in pots and tubs and can then be stored away in a frost-free room during the winter months. Another magnolia, the Umbrella tree, (Magnolia Acuminata ) is hardy. It sheds its quite enormous leaves in the fall, and produces fragrant, white, large flowers in early spring. This magnolia is cultivated in quantity now at the nurseries. The long-leaved pine (Pimis Australis), is too well known to all residents of Pinehurst to bear more than some passing remarks. It is a fairly rapid grower, but is not hardy beyond Philadelphia, unless grown in pots. It produces a tap root of tremen dous length and is therefore a very diffi cult tree to transplant. That this can be done, however, and quite success fully, is shown by the plantation of young trees in the pine grove which were moveil there about four years ago, and which are doing well now as far as they have not been destroyed by vandals not always be entirely satisfactory, but given well grown plants from a nursery there is but a limited doubt as to their growing on. It will not be long now before the Dogwood ( Cornns Florida) will bring forth its dazzling wealth of white flowers. It likes the moderate dampness of low lands best, but grows finely on high grounds as well if only the soil is not too poor. We shall continue these short notes next week and shall gladly answer any questions concerning points of doubt either through these columns or direct. The Pinehurst Nurseries are open to visitors during all work hours, and nearly all of the plants cultivated there are properly labeled. Otto Katzenstein. Friend "What on earth are you doing to that picture? Artist "1 am rubbing a piece of raw meat over this rabbit in the foreground. Mrs. DeShoddie will be here this afternoon and when she sees her pet dog smell of that rabbit she'll buy iVXew York Weekly. There will be a sale of fancy articles, suitable for Easter gifts, at the Tremont, Wednesday afternoon, March 1'Jlh. The public are cordially invited. WESTERN COLF. Handicap Schedule May lie Adopted at a Sleeting In Chicago. The annual meeting of the Western Golf Association will be held in Chicago on April 3. It is the intention of the Executive Committee to recommend the adoption of an official handicap schedule embracing all players belonging to the league. The advantages of such a sched ule have already been shown in the met ropolitan championships, and its adop tion by western players will undoubtedly lead in time to a national handicap list, under the auspices of the United States Association, governing all entries to national tournaments. According to several shrewd observers of the game this will prove the ultimate solution of a much vexed question, for instead of permitting indiscriminate en tries at these big championships no play ers will be admitted who have not received a certain rating on the handicap list. Another question to come before the meeting is the award of the Western championships, and in view of the fact that Glenview has always secured the amateur championship of the United States, it is probable that this sectional championship will be given to some other city than Chicago. Detroit is an applicant, and Milwaukee has also signi fied its intention of asking for it. Both have good 18-hole courses and would be able to conduct it satisfactorily. The Western women's championship will probably be held at the Onwentsia Golf Club, of Lake Forest, 111. A ".Snipping" Parly. Just sixty-six guests of the Berkshire forgot to play whist on last Saturday evening and instead enjoyed a very amus ing "snipping" party arranged by Misses Martha Ellis and A. S. Merrill. Each participant in this enjoyable game is required to bring to the party a present of some kind, the more absurd the more appropriate, All presents are hung up by strings on a line ; then lots are drawn by all and each one according to the num ber drawn is blindfolded in turn, marched about the room haphazzard, and then upplied with a pair of scissors, with which to "snip'' his present from the line. The result at the Berkshire on Saturday evening were at times very ludicrous on account of the absurdly incongruous "presents," "snipped" from the line. These novel parties of various kinds are very popular at this hotel this season and add immensely to the enjoyment of life by promoting a cordial and informal sociability among the guests. ICeliglons Services. Union services were conducted at Vil lage Hall, Sunday, March 8, at 11 a. m., with a good attendance. Episcopal services were held at 4 p. m. If the weather is pleasant the trolly car will run over to Southern Pines Sun day, leaving here at 10.30 a. m. Miss Laura Agnes Walker, of Boston, expert manicurist and massuese, is located at the Carolina for the season and is prepared to give m issage treat ment, shampooing and chiropodj-. n
