THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK
AT THE HOLLY INN.
Influx of Early Season Guests is Far
Beyond all Expectations.
more Congenial Company Has Never
Assembled HereThe Ileason
Afternoon Teas lleg-un.
There is more truth than fiction in
Manager Creamer's facetious comment
that he will have to use The Carolina for
an annex unless it opens pretty soon.
The influx of early season guests is far
beyond the most sanguine expectations
and the house is filling very rapidly.
A more congenial company has never
assembled here, and the constantly in
creasing popularity of this hotel can be
viewed in no other light than as a de
served tribute to Mr. Creamer's able
management and the charming person
ality of his wife. The desire to please
each individual guest is a personal aflair
with Mr. Creamer which is winning
friends in large numbers. A better man
aged or more cozy hotel is not to be
found in the South.

ffl. M. FRY THE WINNER.
Defeats Frank S. Smith in Record
Breaking Medal Play Contest.
p
Was Sure lie Could Better Than
a Hundred and lie Did
Tlie Score.
P
Naturally, it all began in The Holly
Inn billiard room, where by the way,
there is generally "something doing."
Frank S. Smith of New York, was
telling of his first attempt at golf and
rather pleased with the score of some
thing less than one hundred for nine
holes.
Menno M. Fry of Lancaster, Pa., who
was as usual, busy at golf pool, over
heard the remark and made some com
ment on the score. Then he "cut" a ball
into a side pocket very skillfully and as
he chalked his cue looked towards Mr.
Smith with an air that implied, "I play
the other game of golf in the same
way."
"I'll wager you can't do a hundred,"
was Mr. Smith's terse comment. Mr.
Fry was game in spite of the fact that he
had never even held a golf club in his
hand, and as a result details were ar
ranged for a match Tuesday morning,
over the first six and last three holes of
the long course.
The guests of the hotel turned out en
masse to witness the battle royal, and to
see that suitable honors were shown the
victor at the close.
Mr. Fry won by three up match-play,
and a medal play score of eighty-two
against his opponent's ninety. In many
ways the contest takes its place as one of
the most remarkable ever seen here ; but
space does not permit a detailed story of
the fight. The score card, however,
gives a faint idea of what it was like :
Mr. Fry 6 7 11 11 6 11 13 8 982
Mr. Smith 6 10 6 11 6 14 14 9 14 yo

The Holly Inn is one of the most attractive hotels in the South. Since it was
built in 1895, it has been necessary to enlarge it several times to meet the constantly
increasing demand. The interior is elegant, cheerful and tasteful. No modern con
venience is lacking. There are bath rooms, electric lights, steam heat and open
fireplaces. There is a call bell in every room, and all beds are furnished with best
hair mattresses. An orchestra furnishes fine concerts daily, and also provides for
dancing. The cuisine is unsurpassed. The waitresses are all white girls from the
North. Rooms for billiards and other games are provided in the hotel.
