MAECH 9f 1922 PAGE It W. A. BRISTOL TELLS OF HIS VISIT TO PINEHURST Mr. W. A. Bristol of Statesville, N. C., President of the North Carolina Fox Hound Association, who was recently in Pinehurst to attend the annual Field Tri als and American Kennel Club Show, has some nice things to say about this place in a recent Sunday edition of the Charlotte Observer: ( ' One having never visited Pinehurst, ' ' said Mr. Bristol, "has much in store. Nestled midst majestic pine groves and flowery shrubbery, mere words cannot depict its charm and picturesqueness. "It is a wonderful thought of a per fect thing carried into an exactitude of perfection hard to conceive. ' It might be likened to a vast mu seum of architectural art and landscap ing where one at every turn will meet with something pleasing to the eye nob to be forgotten. "Stately rows of long leaf pines in terspersed with holly, magnolia and every other kind of evergreen, line myr iad roads that ramify throughout the vil lage, and suggest to one, even in the dead of winter, perpetual life and sum mer. "The village streets and connecting squares are studded with beautiful homes' dreams in architectural design, many of them surrounded by enchanting gardens. "In such a place as this one might live a thousand years in supreme content, an utter stranger to ennui. "Here one finds every form of amuse ment and healthful sport appealing both to mind and body, from the ubiquitous moving picture show, through the whole gamut, tennis, golf, polo, canoeing, shooting, and best of all, coaching, driv ing, riding, horse racing, and fox hunt ing. "The tennis courts are said to be the finest in the south, and are frequented by notables from both north and south. "Several 18-hole golf courses, famed throughout America, draw from the four quarters of the globe lovers of this avoii derfully fascinating sport. "Devotees of polo, quite the most ap pealing game to one's imagination, find here two of the most excellent fields in the south. "Riding, coaching, horse racing, stee ple chasing, and fox hunting make the horse, the finest of all created things save only woman, man, and dog, king. One loving them might spend days in the Pinehurst stables and go away unsatis fied, not having made friends with all of them. The dog kennels are unequaled, and in dicate why the annual dog show of the American Kennel club, held under the auspices of the Pinehurst Kennel club, has become to be the biggest thing of its kind in America, second only to that of Westminister. "The Sand Hill fair, the Berkshire Hog show, the southern Berkshire con gress, the Ayrshire cow show and sale tend to show the inconceivable extent and diversity of interest for which Pine hurst was created. "The splendid chain of hotels, ranging from the magnificent Carolina, the Holly Inn, the Berkshire, the Pinecrest, and the Lexington afford Imequalled accom modation to fit the pocketbook of all, from the millionaire to we one gallus fox hunters. ' ' One stopping at the Holly Inn will be greeted by Mr. E. G. Fitzgerald, the gen ial manager, who has entered into a con spiracy with his staff of employes, rang ing from the head clerk down through the head waiter, the waitresses, bell boys, and that red-headed Irishman who looks after the baggage, to see who can do most for the convenience and pleasure of the guests of the hotel. "At Pinehurst one will meet mostly up east New England folk. , We, of the south, who boast of our courtly friendli ness, might well learn a thing from the gracious hospitable treatment extended to new comers in their midst. ' ( To contemplate the splendor of Pine hurst, its conception and purpose and what it may become to North Carolina, and the country at large, makes one's thoughts turn to the man who has made it possible. Colonel Fred Olds says, "He is termed the wizard of the sand hills.' He is all of that. One seeing him would judge him about 50 years of age, not very large in stature, but erect, upstanding, fine and keen of eye, a beau tifully modulated voice, a very round splendid head, denoting the fighter and man of executive ability. Roosevelt had such a head. "This is not intended as an advert's ing boost for Pinehurst. It is, 'An Ap preciation of Pinehurst.' It is in ap preciation of what one man has brought to North Carolina. It is in appreciation of the fact that one man has attained his 'Castle in Spain.' "Is there a man living or dead who lias not builded one or more 'Castles in Spain?' "The best of it is that Mr. Leonard Tufts has not achieved his 'Castles in Spain' for himself alone. " AMERICAN LEGION MINSTRELS The Local Post of the American Le gion for the south end of the Sandhill section of the Carolinas will stage their annual minstrel show in the ballroom of the Carolina Hotel, Tuesday night, March 14th. The show has already been presented at Southern Pines where it was well received by a packed house. As many of the Pinehurst colony of tourists and peach men are represented in the Local Post as well as taking an active part in the minstrel, much in terest is being shown in the approach ing show. The caste is somewhat dif ferent from the ordinary show in that a number of girls are to assist in the choruses and song's. These latter make for harmony both in sound and appear ance. A dancing number by a young Frenchman who has appeared before Parisian audiences is also a drawing card. Sambo, Rastus and Bones have a line of Negro wit and stories that ring true to life. Their sallies of wit must (Continued on Page 12) Briarc iff Manor. N. Y. OPEN IN MAY "Here Nature spreads her fruitful sweetness round, Breathes on the air, and broods upon the ground." Dryden.

The course of empire may be westward, but all the traditions of human progress compel us to turn and look to the east. All of our civilization came from the east. The great religions call men to turn to the east. The Ma hommedan turns to the east when he prays. Buddha is es tablished far in the east. The Jew and Christian alike fix their ideals of religion and morality on the heritage of the east. The great crusades traveled east. Learning had its beginning in the east. Always the east has had that fascination, and it is a rather interesting fact that right here in Pinehurst the man who cares to travel east finds one of the most attractive sections of the Sandhills. Out . the Midlands road on that broad .tableland between Pinehurst village and Midlands farms, is one of the ideal locations of Middle North Carolina. And that section is about to settle and become a promi nent part of the Pinehurst community. What a road that Midjands road will be in two or three years more when Knollwood has spread out a little more. Before you go back north better secure a site out that way. Information can be had at the Real Estate Section at the General Office.
