ftR. E. W. GROVE, of St. Louis. Mo., is building tne finest resort
hotel in tne world, to be opened July ist, 1913. It will be absolutely
fireproof, and is being built of the great boulders of Sunset Mountain, at
whose foot it sits, It is being built by hand in the old-fashioned way.
Full of rest and comfort and wholesomeness.
J The front lawn is the hundred-acre eighteen-hole golf links ol tfc
Asheville Country Club, and with it sixty acres of our own lawn.
The purest water obtainable anywhere, piped seventeen miles, from
the. slopes of Mount Mitchell, over 6000 feet altitude. Biltmore milk and
cream exclusively, supplied from 200 registered Jerseys on the estate of
Mr; Geo. W. Vanderbilt. It is doubtful if this famous dairy is equaled
in the world.
jf Four hundred one-piece rugs are being made at Aubusson, France.
Seven Hundred pieces of the furniture are being made by hand by the
Roycrofters. ' The silver will be hand-hammered.
J The plumbing material will be the finest that has ever been placed in
any hotel in the world. The soil pipe has been hydraulidy tested and
then galvanized. The hot water pipe, 18,000 lbs. in weight, will be solid
brass. The steam pipes are Byers' genuine lap-welded wrought iron tested
hydraulidy to 1000 lbs. The bathtubs and fixtures all solid porcelain.
No pipes visible anywhere. No radiators to be seen all placed in re
cesses under windows. No electric bulbs to be seen.
J The "Big Room," or what some call the lobby, is 80 feet by 120, and
the rugs in this one room will be worth $5000.00. The two great fire,
places in it will burn twelve-foot logs.
J For the golfers we are building lockers and shower bath rooms with
a forty-foot swimming pool that will not be excelled by the finest clubs
in existence, and the players will be less than 100 yards distant when they
are on the links.
Mr. Wm. S. Kenney, of Bretton Woods. N. H., who has shown in his
management of The Mount Washington hotel and Hotel Clarendon,
that he is the peer of hotel keepers, will manage the Inn.
J We own eight hundred acres around the Inn (consumptives not
taken).
J Especially available for northern guests in the Spring, Fall and Winter,
going or returning from farther southern resorts, or for an all Winter re
sort. J The Inn is located on the side of Sunset Mountain, about a mile from
the top, and is not only cool enough in the Summer to make .a blanket
necessary at night, but is protected and mild enough in the Winter to
make life enjoyable without enervation.

The Pasting of the IIa Been"
and the Coming- of the 44 la "
THE REPUTATION
of "Colonel Bogey" has
received a great impe
tus during late years.
Whereas comparatively
few years ago he was
almost a centenarian, it
a is not uncommon now
adays for the jovial vet
eran to class himself amongst the 41 jun
ior seventies," and it is considered ex
ceptionally bad form to refer to his
former record. Previously all Golf Balls
were more or less " dead," and although
fairly true in flight, required consider
able energy to make an average 18-hole
course much under the "century."
f The advent of the rubber-cored ball
has so revolutionized the game that
ings. f The elasticity and life of the
modern ball are only arrived at by a
multiplicity of processes infinitely com
plicated to the onlooker and each requir
ing a marvelous precision in its execu
tion, f Exclusive of the preparation of
the raw material and of the numerous
inspections during manufacture, no less
than twenty-two different operations are
necessary before the finished ball is
ready for shipment.
AN UNCANNY MACHINE ALMOST HUMAN
All things have a beginning, and that
of a golf ball is at the center. This cen
ter is hard or soft as required, and on it
the first wrapping is made by hand.
Three separate times is this hand-wrapping
repeated, each time at a different
tension and gaining in resiliency at each
operation. Then follow two separate
machine wrappings, each time with a

TWO MACHINE "WINDINGS WITH RUBBER CORD
championship figures of a few years ago
would be considered extremely moderate
play by the average amateur of today.
1 While the " guttie ". was a great ad
vance on its predecessors, it was com
paratively " dead," and like Pat's fiddle,
responded best to " main force." It had
little resiliency and lay pretty nearly
where it happened to fall.
The name of Goodrich has always
been associated with progress in rubber
manufacture. It is not surprising, there
fore, to learn that their latest Golf Ball3
are proving a revelation to all classes of
player from the "dub" to the profes
sional. 1 Recognizing the fact that
tastes and needs differ, the company
offers a choice of no Jess than seven dif
ferent Balls at $6.00 and $9.00 per dozen,
and of various sizes, weights and mark-
finer thread. It is peculiar that, from
long experience, the actions of the hand
wrapper become almost automatic (the
tension and amount of wrapper neces
sary being judged almost entirely by
feeling) ; while the working of the ma
chine is almost uncanny in its human
ness if the word may be permitted.
Automatic " hands " twirl the core back
wards and forwards, winding the thread
accurately in every direction, while at a
given point the machine which has been
whirring at almost uncountable speed,
stops dead. The core has "arrived,"
and careful measurement and inspection
fail to trace more than a very small per
centage which are incorrectly wound
The core i3 now ready to become a ball
in reality.
