TEE PINEHUEST OUTLOOK

Mildred Euretta The Tin Whistles
Wins Swigert Cup Keep Things Moving
As a fitting tribute to the memory of
the late Colonel .R. A. Swigert, one of
the founders of the Pinehurst Jockey
Club, the Annual Swigert Flat race was
inaugurated last Wednesday afternoon
before a crowd that taxed the grand
stand ' capacity. Appropriately enough,
this gathering witnessed one of the
finest cards and enjoyed one of the best
days of sport experienced at the track
this winter. Although the weather was
cloudy, the course was in very good con
dition which helped to lower two track
records.
Wright began his string of victories
when he brought Mildred Euretta home
first in the Swigert Flat race for a purse
of $250.00 and the Swigert Cup. This
event at one mile one-sixteenth brought
out seven starters and out of the scram
ble shot Mildred Euretta, in quite her
usual' fashion, hugging the rail position
and leading the pack by a length. Jock
ey Wright never took any chances with
the mare, for he set a pace that was fast
and furious. Call up on Molly O.,
Meyers on Algardi and His Nibbs
with Wells up trailed along in the order
named, while Melos, who has shown
good speed in the steeplechase races,
was far back all through the race. And
in this order they flashed past the
grandstand for the first time, and turned
the corner as if there to stay. On the
back stretch Mildred Euretta began to
lag and gradually the gap that separ
ated her from the rivals grew smaller;
but about this time Wright came to an
understanding with the mare and started
a final spurt which seemed to shake all
the ambition of the challengers and she
came tearing down the home stretch
and under the wire a winner by a good
length. Call brough Molly O. home in
second place, winning by a length from
Algardi, who nosed out Uncle Sand, rid
den by Lasses, for third place.
The pink ribbon, the purse and the
applause of the crowd all went to Mittie
Bedworth in the Class A. Harness race,
who won the event quite handily from
her old enemy, Princess Ingomar.
Without any preliminaries, Bonita
Belle, owned and driven by Shepard,
went to the fore in the first heat. After
attaining a lead of five lengths or so,
Shepard decided he was supreme and
that there was only one horse in the
race. Then appeared Mittie Bedworth,
Eden's stiff legged mare, driven by
Shinn, who startled the throng by over
hauling Shepard and gaining a lead
which assured her an easy win.
The second heat was more bitterly
fought, but this time Shepard was left
out entirely, the battle being between
the old rivals, Princess Ingomar and
Eden's mare. It was nip and tuck from
"-rt to finish, the Princess winning by
broke. In a most genteel manner Mittie
Bedworth passed the galloping Princess,
being in turn chased by Bonita Belle,
ui the mare was out for a win and
nothing could stop her.
Another track record was broken
when Wright, up on Ray-O-Light, led a
field of five sprinters home in the six
furlong flat event in the most spectacu
lar race of the day. Lasses up on Lyn
donia and At well riding Joe Miller, led
the way to the first turn, where Atwell
went to the fore. At the beginning of
the back stretch the brown and black
colors could be seen slowly creeping up
and soon he was close on the heels of the
fast traveling Joe Miller. At the
stretch turn Wright made a move with
his mount that left him neck and neck
with Atwell and then began a dead heat
which was only settled a few yards from
the tape, when Ray-O-Light ended the
sensational spurt by crossing the line a
winner, a short head in the lead. Time
1.14 2-5. .
The final race of the afternoon, the
steeplechase, was won by Little Horn,
with Archibald up, from Disturber and
Russian Pinion. All three were off to a
good start, Little Horn setting the pace
with Call up on Disturber in chase. The
expected spurt soon came and Call drew
Disturber up to the flanks of Little
Horn and both gained the applause of
the grandstand by clearing the hurdles
in perfect and even strides. A few
more jumps found Little Horn going to
the fore and try as he did Call could
not bring the Thomas' eolors up again
and Archibald rode the mare home for
a clean win several yards in the lead.
Another track record was lowered
when Miss Dwyer rode Winea in a trot
ting exhibition under saddle against the
former record of 1.22, finishing in the
very good time of 1.13 2-5. A few min
utes before she led Miss Houck home in
a match exhibition race, both' events
being feature specialties of the afternoon.

DURING THE I N T E R V L be
tween the St. Valentine's Tournament
and the Spring Tournament the golf
links lie prostrate beneath the march of
the indefatigable brethren who gather
at the Club House in answer to the
merry call of the Tin Whistle, and the
relentless battles of golfers wages fiercer
than ever. On the February program
was first, a Three Ball Match; second
a Round Robin; and third, on the 21st
the Sixteenth Anniversary Flag Contest.
Surely it was a schedule to satisfy the
most insatiate of our golf addicts. Lack
of space, " we regret, allows us to do
nothing more than summarize the bat
les, when, of course, the subject is wor
thy of Homer and an epic.
