Entered as second class matter at Post Office at Pinehurst, Moore, County, North Carolina. Winter Coif Number CJolf William Garrett Brown, recognized as the greatest authority extant upon mat ters of history and the trend of Democracy in the United States since the Civil War, has solemnly stated that American insti tutions and thought have received only three important additions and conceptions in the last decade Trusts, Imperialism and Golf. The only new one is golf. The Trusts are merely a modern expres sion of the ancient creed of Jerusalem, and Imperialism the outcropping of the religion of the Roman Empire. But Golf is a new note from the pipes of the great God Pan, and the ultimate call to the children of men from the open fields. It is the final word in athletics. Right ly considered athletics are a means to health and philosophy, and not at all a matter of spectacle or arena display. Professor Hollis, for years the chairman of the Athletic Committee of Harvard University, the confidant and leader of many of the greatest athletes of our time, laid no emphasis whatever upon the cham pionship games or the few brililant per formers who made the All-American teams. He built innumerable tennis courts for the training of a host of law yers; ten separate football fields for sal vation of the divinity students and the narrow chested; had thirty eight-oared shells upon the river, manned by humor ists, a substitute for cigarettes and dis appointment; and dispaired of the race because there was not that provided which would get the whole student body daily into the open, and fill them with air, enthusiasm and understanding. He knew little of golf. That would have been his answer. It is the universal introduction to outdoors, and the only really sociable game that has ever been invented. A fellow does not ask his little sister and his great uncle to join in a lacrosse game with him on Thanksgiving afternoon, or discuss the later Voctorian poets with a literary friend during the progress of a baseball match. The in herent beauties of landscape and brake, vista of lawn and groves of trees are lost by the fox hunter, tearing by headlong. But not by my friend the golfer. Consider this. That every afternoon he is playing his match with the greatest champion that ever lived. He plays against a score, and infinite excellence. In spite of himself, and unconsciously, he does his three or four miles before lunch. He becomes acquainted with his diverting opponent. He gains steadily in attachment for those symbols of civiliza tion the brassy, the midiorn and the pen dulum putter. He rids himself of end less humors, and comes to forgive the oil trust, the weatherman and the Democratic Party. He has endless delight in solving the ever new problems of the bunkered course. And with all these human attributes, it is still among the front rank among the contests of skill, endurance and judg ment. I am told by the greatest author ity there is in the matter of devising the lay of the land for the game that the best handler of clubs in the world could never win his matches on a course scien tifically made unless he ' ' used his head ' ' in considering the method of playing each hole. And I was further surprised to be told by one that had captained the Har vard Crew and played back on the foot ball team that it required more clean steady nerve to pull out a close cham pionship golf match than to either row a race or buck the center. He ought to know. Probably if you do not believe this the proof would be forthcoming if you would bet the championship of the world that you could play all day and then, in front of three hundred breath less spectators hold your hand steady enough and your eye clear enough to put the ball in from fifteen feet. The great player does it jauntily, on demand. It does not matter how good or how poor you are at the game. That is the beauty of it. Here you will find every kind and condition of devotee, from the novice to the champion of the world, eager and ready to play with you, either alone, or when the lists are open for tournament play. Treed the, Vox The Thursday morning hunt ended in the most remarkable exhibition that we ever remember recording to the credit of Mr. Fox. Uncle Remus is authority for the saying that Br'er Rabbitt climbed a tree when all other chances of escape had dwindled, and explained it by saying he had to. Our friend of Thursday must have been aware of the precedent. Any way, when the dogs came to the kill, they found the old fellow fifteen feet up an oak tree, and the cavalcade had great diversion watching Rastus capture him with a loop on a forked stick. He was put in a cage to be given another run for his money, and Miss Esther Tufts was cheated out of a well earned brush. The hunting party consisted of Miss Tufts, Mr. Frederick Pearson, Mr. How ard Rothschild, Mr. H. L. Piatt, Mr. A. A. Brown, who hunts with a camera, Mr. Skinner and Mr. Andrews and Mr. and Mrs. George Leach. Three 0ka Tea Hooin fg was the scene of a pleasant little auto mobile party given by Mrs. C. B. Hudson for Mrs. H .W. Priest, Mrs. G. P. Lang don and Mrs. A. S. Newcomb, last Wednesday.
