The Advertisers' Races
A SPLENDID race program was arranged by the Jockey Club
last week for the benefit of the visiting Advertisers and
several members of the association took active parts in the
afternoon's sport.
H. P. Ruggles, of New Rochelle, N. Y., and N. J. Peabody, of
Boston, hooked up behind two speedy trotters in what was an
nounced as a trotting race, but before either horse reached the first
turn they were on a dead run and from there on it was a wild ride
over the mile journey. Rug
gles was returned the win
ner, and in the presence of
the vast assemblage and with
fitting words he was pre
sented with a handsome cup
(a one-pound coffee can),
as a tribute for his great
achievement.
Another great event of
the afternoon was a mule
race in which the Eastern
delegation staked their all-and-alls
against the Western
contingent and lost, for
May Florence, the speedy
animal ridden by M. C.
Meigs, of Chicago, was too
swift for the field and came
home a winner by a length
and a half in front of Elmer
Rich, also from Chicago,
M. C. Robbins, of New
York, rode Pride of the
South, and finished third.
Just before the start of the famous East vs. West Mule Race, which was won
by the steed of M. C. Meigs, of Chicago, representing the West.
and was won in successive heats by Martin J., owned and driven
by Frank Thomas. Tom C. Webber, owned by Ruohs Pyron, and
Binland, owned and driven by Sebree, divided second and third
money each finishing second in one of the two heats run.
A. W. Hodges' consistent pacer, Loveberry, won his seventh con
secutive victory at Pinehurst when he stepped away from his field
in both heats of the Mid-Season pace. He was capably driven by
W. H. Cane and had no trouble in disposing of his opponents.
The five and half furlong
flat race brought out a field
of five first class sprinters
and resulted in a well
earned victory for Anvil,
ridden by Miles. St. Jude,
ridden by Rice, carried top
weight of 130 pounds in the
seven furlong dash and
scored an impressive victory
over a field of some smart
performers.
A special match race be
tween N. S. Hurd's Uncle
Sand, ridden by Johnnie
Thomas, and The Clock
mender, owned by C. F.
Pace with Reader up, re
sulted in a neck and neck
finish in favor of the
former. The two horses
were never more than a half
length apart during the en
tire mile journey.
H. B. Swoope's Kate
Among the also rans were: Charles G. Wright, of New York, and Glenn proved that she is queen of the timber-toppers when she gal
George Lytton, of Chicago. Lytton rode Cyclone Maude, the loped to an easy victory in the steeplechase and left behind her such
favorite, and finished fourth. goocl ones as W. A. Lang's Hindoo and Miss Helen Waring's Ray
The feature event of the scheduled races was the Advertisers' O-Light. Kate took the lead with the fall of the flag and was
Trot, a trotting event named in honor of the visiting Advertisers, never in danger.
Pinehurst Public School
It is seldom that a community makes steps forward with such
stride in one year as Pinehurst is now making in her educational
affairs. There seems to be an awakening on every hand to the
realization that we need a thoroughly modern system and equipment,
and everybody concerned seems to be determined that we shall
have these things.
The enrollment this year has been increased about 85 per cent.,
partly by reason of consolidation of the upper grades of the Pine
stew and Beulah Hill districts, and the high school grades of the
Ingram Branch district; and partly by enrollment of older boys
and girls who had been out of school because of lack of high school
accommodations. The greatest increase has been in the high school
department where there has been a development from only seven
students in the eighth grade to fifty in the eighth, ninth and tenth
grades, and from a part time teacher to two full time teachers.
The work under the enlarged plans is now being carried on partly
in the old building and partly in theecond story of the Community
Hall. Recently a bond issue was voted for the erection of a new
modern school building on a six-acre tract between the Carthage and
Southern Pines roads. Mr. Leonard Tufts, in keeping with his
big public spirit, is materially augmenting the amount of the bond
issue. The plans and specifications for the building have been com
pleted in accordance with all modern requirements, and the con
struction will begin the first of the year. The plans provide for eight
large class rooms, an auditorium, principal's office, teacher's room,
and accompanying conveniences. Provision is made for two wing
additions.
This is intended merely as a general summary of the school situa
tion. Details will be published from time to time in the Outlook.
Members of the School Committee are : Mrs. Leonard Tufts, J.
C. Sledge, F. T. Currie, A. J. Fry, R. E. Wicker.
Members of the Faculty: J. F. Cason, Superintendent; B. B.
Littlejohn, Instructor and Athletic coach for boys; Miss Selina
Hindel, Instructor; Miss Pamelo Starnes, Instructor and Athletic
coach for girls; Miss Lula Bess Wroton, Instructor; Miss Annie
Stewart, Instructor ; Miss Urite Harris, Instructor.
