Annual Banquet at The Carolina Is Most
Brilliant of Series.
Old Friends Give Affair Character of
Reunion and Merriment and
Good' Cheer Ileig-n.
HE annual banquet of the.
Advertising men at The
Carolina, Wednesday
evening, was the most
brilliant and enjoyable of
the series, the large num
ber of returning friends present giving it
the character of a reunion. From first to
last merriment and good fellowship
reigned supreme, and sparkling wit and
repartee kept all in good humor.
A march by the orchestra was the sig
nal for the entrance of the party to the
dining hall shortly after eight o'clock,
Mr. Frank Fresbrey and Mrs. Leonard
Tufts leading, the big company which
followed including many women. The
tables were daintily decorated, one of
the surprises of the evening being in the
form of the souvenir menu, from the cover
of which peeked forth the unique face of
Finehurst's famous "The Links are Open"'
lad.
Mr. Fresbrey rapped for order, express
ing appreciation for the courtesy of Mr.
Leonard Tufts, the host of the evening,
who rose amid applause, briefly welcomed
the visitors and expressed pleasure at
seeing so many familiar faces. Then
came a discussion of the good things
which the golf lad souvenir contained.

During the dinner music was furnished
by the orchestra, and telegrams of regret
and congratulation were read by Mr.
Fresbrey from Mr. William C. Freeman
of New York, Mr. L. T. Boyd of Mil
waukee and Mr. W. E. Moflatt of New
York, as well as the following which
caught the crowd ; authorship unknown,
but generally conceded to be decidedly
"Presbyterian (?)":
if
If Mallery could do a ninety six
And Mamlok got on his game ;
If Evans (either one) could learn to drive
And Frothingham do the same;
If George L. White could only putt
And Todd stay on the Green ;
The prizes would go elsewhere,
It's plainly to be seen.
If Calkins would only learn
And Holden practice some;
If Tilton, he of solemn mien,
Would make his Tee shots hum ;
Who claims that Hodgkin's substitute
Will Fays the crowd upon the links
Despite an occasional "just a beaut"
Which Kimball says that Gill can drive
Regardless of Royce or Gardner
Whether the ball's in Tufts of Grass
Oijhe has Lloyd for partner.
So slice or pull, or top the ball,
Or foozle, slaff or spin it ;
The game's a game for all of us
For the companionship that's in it!
With coffee and cigars, Mr. Presbrey
assumed the role of Toastmaster, calling
upon Mr. Frothingham of Everybody's
Magazine, whose speech was in the na-

FRANK PREgDREY, NEW YORK.
President of the Frank Presbrey Company, flrst President and founder of the American Golf
Association of Advertising Interests, and to whose efforts the splendid success of this years tour
nament is almost wholly due.
Then Ashforth would take courage
And Butler w ould take a brace ;
Which would make the game at Pinehurst
A mighty lively race.
When Ostrander ceases taking earth
And Maule plants putts instead of seeds ;
And Ridgway representing Everybody
Permits the Priest to do kind deeds ;
Then Alexander the Great
Will call on Ross's clan ;
To redeem the game at Pinehurst
For Blackman says they can.
But there's a man who's always Meek,
ture of advice to golfers and others, in
the form of an original poem entitled
THE JACKPOT.
I sauntered down through Europe, I wandered
up the Nile,
I sought the mausoleums where the mummied
Pharaohs' lay,
I found the sculptured tunnel, where quietly in
style,
Imperial sarcophagi concealed the royal clay.
Above the vault was graven deep, the motto of
the Crown :
