Austrian Visitors Will Present Two
Entirely Different Shows March 1
Accordion And
Xylophone Music
Wlil Be Heard
, Two entirely different shows
will be presented by the Austrian
Students Goodwill Tour when this
lively and talented group visits
Southern Pines Saturday, March
1st.
The first, to be given at 2 p. m.
with the Southern Pines Kotary
club as sponsor, is their “regular
show,” which they have presented
many times, before packed houses,
in two years of touring the coun
try.
The second, to be given at 8:30
that night as part of the current
series of the Sandhills Music as
sociation, is brand-new—different
songs, different dances, different
comedy skits, for which the local
performance will serve as pre
miere.
The two shows are called “Vis
itors from Vienna” and “Greet
ings from Vienna,” emphasizing
the friendly international good
will which they express.
Both shows will be given at
Weaver auditorium. Southern
Pines. Though different, they
will feature the gay music, songs
and dances of Old Austria, in na
tive costume, by eight girls and
10 boys selected by audition from
schools Md colleges of Vienna and
other towns. There is just one
professional in the troupe—beau-
^thousemds of delighted adults and
children.
Tickets for the two shows may
be obtained at the Barnum Realty
office, from members of the Ro
tary club or at the auditorium
door at showtime. Season tickets
for the Sandhills Music associa
tion series are good for the night
performance.

Bird club’s first meeting of the
season Tuesday morning, and on

After the walk; the group gath
ered at the" home of Miss Louise
Haynes to discuss their listing,
and to make final plans for a trip
to Gaddy’s Goose Refuge near An-
sonville next Tuesday. It was de
cided to set out at 1 p. m. froir
160 South Bennett street, near th
New England house, provide-^
there is not a downpour of rain
at that time. The members very
graciously invite all who are in
terested in taking the trip to joir
them, and they are hoping that a
number sufficient to transport
the group will drive their cars.
Last year a trip was •Planned tc

the day was a wet one and the trip

Music by a pianist who also
plays the accordion, and also by a
youth known as Austria’s best
xylophonist, one of Europe’s top
artists on this instrument.
Members of the troupe come
from the Alps, the Tyrol, Carin-
thia, Styria, Upper and Lower
Austria, Innsbruck and legendary
Vienna.
which the tour was organized was
set up for international goodwill
through increased knowledge and
friendship.
The group spent most of last
year making a tour of all U. S.
Air Force bases under auspices of
the USO. The Air Force ferried
them from base to base by plane
so they could cover the country,
entertaining all the airmen, in the
this year, and next week’s trip
should find thousands of geese on
hand to delight the visitors.

also pulled in a big one, possibly
a record with a 30-lb. kingfish,
while the majpr hooked him
something called a wahoo, weigh
ing over 20 lbs. (Wahoo, what a
fish!) ^
One delightful day was spent
flying out and over the Dry Tor-
tugas, where the party landed and
spent several hours collecting the
wide variety of shells found on
these islands.
The trip was marred only by the
fact that Mrs. McMillan was call
ed home because of the operation
of her mother. Mrs. Birchfield is

caught them. In action, voice and
drive, they bid fair to justify the
reputation given them by the
commentator, of “one of the great
est packs in the nation.”
Fine Entries
yfith this accolade, Mr. Van
Urk turned the microphone over
to J. Dennis Crotty, who, with

NO SERVICE CHARGE
Mrs. Crotty beside him keeping
track of the numbers, got things
off to a quick start. ’The judges,
Mr. and Mrs. H .C. Baldwin of
Westchester, took their seats on a
brake halfway down the hill, and
things started to roU. In fact, the
speed and ease with which this
year’s trials were run was note
worthy. As each pair squared off
for the first fence, the next hove
in sight ready to start, so that,
bcirring one crucial moment when
it Icoked as if Happy Hoy was go
ing to have to ride two horses at
once, there was hardly a pause
between entries or events. It was
one of the best run hunter trials
to date.
The course has been improved,
too; a few jumps not clearly vis
ible to the gadlery eliminated and
several new ones added. These
included a biggish fence across
the sand road into the woods and
a tricky double, with a little ditch
beyond it that called for careful
going. The fact that no rails were
Iproken during the afternoon and
there was only one fall, following
a bad peck over a board fence by
Mrs. Franklin King’s big brown
hunter, ridden by her niece, Mrs.
Henry Preston of Chicago, gave
proof of the good, straight-for
ward jumping that the course af
fords; also the quality of the en
tries.
Non-ThorougUreds
First class of the afternoon was
for non-thoroughbred hunters,
with the first pair: Morton W.
Smith’s Royal Chief, owner up,
and Maple Leaf, owned by Vernon
Valley Farmi, ridden by Jimmy
Pogue. The roimd was fair. Roy
al Chief putting in one very bad
jump and Maple Leaf appearing
a bit on the keen side, standing
away a mile from toe small
fences. As usual, Cappy Smith
gave a fine demonstration of a
good hunting seat.
Outstanding Horsemanship
It started off an afternoon
where good riding might well
have been on exhibition as well
as good horses. It would be hard
to beat Joan Walsh, Mrs. Dulaney
Randolph, Jack Goodwin, and
Mrs. Moss, showing only once yes
terday, for outstanding horseman
ship.
The round in which Mrs. Ran
dolph and Miss Walsh paired off
was as pretty a demonstration of
fine hunting form as one is likely
to see. Miss Walsh was up on
Blarney Castle and Mrs. Randolph
on her Flying Tourist, toe latter
looking like a perfect picture of
the grand comfortable ride, yet as
she set him a^ his fences and let
him come on up the hill for the
last little one, how much of the
picture was the rider’s doing was
clearly visible.
Mrs. Randolph’s father-in-law.
Dr. Archie Randolph, master of
toe Piedmont and dean of Vir
ginia sporting squires, was among
the spectators, come down to look
over the local horseflesh and
watch his Boston daughter-in-law
pick up a few ribbons. He was
being greeted right and left by
enthusiastic friends.
It was good to see Times
Square and Vernon Cardy ther^
too, trotting out again in a Sand
hills event. Mr. Cardy has been
missed down this way. As for
the grand big horse who carried
hirh so comfortably, he was in his
usual form, putting in one good
round after another and bringing
home the bacon as is his wont.
Wins in two classes were staked
up to his credit: the non-thor-
oughbred and the amateur.
Another who went with his cus
tomary smoothness was the Sand
hills’ pet, Renown, Dwight W.
Winkelman’s fine old hunter and
show horse,. He was paired with
another who is in the same class
of steady reliable performers, W.
J. Brewster’s chestnut Why Not,
ridden by Jack Goodwin. Ed Dan
iels had the mount on Renown.
One of the prettiest rounds of
the day was made by two greys,
Mr. Cardy’s Shamrock, ridden by
Mr. Van Urk, paired With the
Brewster Stables’ Silent Susie,
Kirk Dutton up. A fine pair of
hunters with a perfect round to
their credit except for one twist
ing jump on the part of Shamrock
which may have cost him a rib
bon.
A Good Gallop
Last pair of the non-thorough
bred class was Mileaway Stables’ I
Gold Leaf, ridden by Ozelle Moss, I
and Hooptedo, from the Brewster j
Stables, ridden by Happy Hoy.'
These two sportsmen seemed to:
be riding, for fun rather than for
show, and why not, for once?
They Sashayed off at a fast pace,
whirled round the course and
came hell-for-leather up toe hill
to the finish with both horses ex- !
tended, slighting the last little
fence to hit it hard behind, and
trotted off together grinning, a
few derisive hoots punctuating
the applause of the crowd. j
Presentation of the non-thor
oughbred trophy for this class
was made by the donors, Mr. and
Mrs. J. Louis Meyer of Pinehurst,
with the winner. Times Square,
standing happily in the center of
a ring of clustering photogra
phers, as Mrs. Meyer handed Mr.
Cardy the big cup. Spanish Gold,
owned by Mrs. Diana Parker, with
Joan Walsh up, was second, with
Cappy Smith’s Royal Chief third.
The amateur class followed, a
series of good performances
marred only by the fall of Mrs.
Preston on her aunt’s horse. She
was up and coming on again in no
time, to make a strong finish.
With many of the same entries
participating, this class brought |
out a few new ones, notably Win
ning Way, bought the previous
day from Mileaway Farms by Mrs.
B. A. Tompkins, an attractive!
dark bay with a fine head and a
clever way of going. She was rid- |
den by Miss Barbara Pease, paired |
with Goldie Scamp, ridden by hisi
owner, James Collins. 'This class i
produced another win for Times
Square, who thus got a leg on the
Mileaway Farms trophy. Why
Not was second with Mrs. Ran
dolph’s good chestnut, Frank
Thomas, third.
'The open hunter class which
followed brought the two new
fences into the picture in a change
of course. 'The class was won by
Gift of Gold, last year’s Carolina
Cup winner and outstanding
’chaser of the season, then owned
by Mrs. Mickey Walsh. Soon af
ter, Gift of Gold was bought by
his present owner, Mrs. Simon
Patterson. He was ridden Wed
nesday by Joan Walsh.
Mr. Brewster’s Why Not ridden
by Jack Goodwin, and Mrs. Ran
dolph’s Frank ’Thomas took sec
ond and third places.
Three Hunt Teams
With toe skies beginning to
lower about this time, the thor
oughbred class was run off with
speed, producing some fine per
formances from the entries seen
in previous classes. It was won
by Mrs. Randolph’s Frank Thom
as, with Friar’s Delight second
and Gift of Gold third.
By the time the Hunt teams
were ready to take the field, the
showers prophesied by the weath
erman, (according to all those
who had heard him and brought
raincoats), had broken and a fine
rain made visibility poor and sent
folks diving into cars. But en
thusiasm remained undampened,
horses in good fettle and the
sandy Sandhills just as good foot
ing as ever. Ttoree teams per
formed: the Brewster Stables’
trio, Vernon Valley Farms and
Stoneybrook, with the wins stand
ing in that order.
The championship event, an in
novation of a sort of foUow-the-
leader ride, was run off in a driv
ing rain. Morton Smith, as lead
er, set a fast pace for his trio of
followers, toe winners of the pre
vious hunter classes. Gift of Gold,
Joan Walsh up, Frank Thomas,
ridden by his owner, Mrs. Ran
dolph, and Mr. Cardy on Times
Square. It was more like a point-
to-point than a hunter trial and
afforded some of toe thrills, if
none of toe spills, promised in the
ads of toe day’s events. Winner
of the event and of the show was
Gift of Gold, his rider, Joan Walsh
galloping him in a long easy stride
up the hill and past the anWd
with reins slack, in the best per
formance of the day.
