WRIGHT OPTIMISTIC
OVER FINE OUTLOOK
FOR BANNER SEASON
Everything Indicates That 1923
Will be Biggest in Wrights
ville’s History
The 1923 season at Wrightsville
Beach bids fair to be one of the big
gest in the history of tb'is popular sea- 1
side resort, according to Thomas H.
Wright, mayor of the beach munici-'
paiity.
Although the beach season will not
open officially until about June 1, the
municipal authorities, officials of the
Tide Water Power company and the
individual cottage owners have already
begun making preparations for the ap
proaching season. ,
Already the managements of the two
hotels, the eSaahore and the Oceanic,
have begun laying plans for the 192 3
season. Captain Hinton, manager of
the Seashore, and Messrs. Vining and
Russell, managers of the Oceanic, are
looking forward to an unusual season
and are making plans accordingly.
Like Mayor Wright, Captain Hinton
and Messrs., Vining and RusBell are
looking forward to a big season at the
beach resort. For this reason they
have begun making plans earlier than
usual for the opening on 0£ about
June 1.
Everything indicates that the crowd
will be larger at Wrightsville than
ever before. The Wilmington chamber
of commerce* the beach authorities and
the managements of the various hotels
and boarding houses at the resorts are
receiving Inquiries as to rates and res
ervations from all parts of the south.
Mayor Wright, like all others having
an interest at the beach, for these rea
sons are anticipating an unusual sea
son.

M'RAE WINNER OF
GOLF TOURNAMENT
Defeated Ike Grainger in Finals
on Cape Fear Country Club
Greens Yesterday
Nelson MacRae won the mens’ pre
liminary spring golf tournament at
the Cape Pear Country club yester
day by defeating I. B. Grainger by one
| up on the 20th hole in the finals. It
was about the hardest fought, closest,
and at the same time best played match
ever contended for in a tournament on
the local course. They both cracked
out 80s. which, while they both can
do much better, is considered mighty
good golf In a tournament. On the
outgoing nine holes, Grainger had a
touch the better of It, playing practi
cally everv hole in par figures, wind
ing up with a 38 and one up. Most
of the brilliant playing was confined
to the first nine.
Grainger managed to maintain his
scant lead all the way to the 18th
hole, where he had MacRae dormied.
Here he got off a beautiful drive,
while MacRae put his drive out of
bounds. It looked all off. But MacRae
refused to give up, and put his sec
ond drive even with Graingers, and
when Ike shot his midiron far over
the green and failed to get anywhere
near the cup on his third, MacRae
sneaked one dead to the pin, winning
the hole with a par five. This squared
the match on the home green. Going
to the 19th, both took a four, after
laying each other three stymies.
The 20th hole proved Grainger’s
Waterloo, for after Nelson got a i
beautiful drive of two hundred and
fifty yards straight down the middle.
Ike missed two shots, ^and couldn’t
recover, when Nelson put his brassie
to the green and almost ran down an
eagle three. His birdie four won the
hole and the match.
Robert Strange won the consolation
from Ned Hines, five and four, putting
up a brilliant exhibition of golf. Mc
Eachin won the second flight, while
Patterson gathered in the second
flight consolation.
