A POLICY OF PROGRESS.
The Plans and Purposes of the Late
James W. Tufts to be Amplified
and Consumated.
BIG IMPROVEMENTS CONTEMPLATED.
And now, as it nears its end, we natur
ally ask, "What of the season?" To
answer this question in full would be to
review the season in detail; that is
unnecessary. The principal point in the
question is "Has it been successful?"
The answer is a simple but very emphatic
"yes." The past season has been the
most successful in the history of Pine
hurst; hotel, boarding house and cottage
department records all show this beyond
question. The reason for the success of
Pinehurst during the past season is the
same reason and the only good one that
can be given for the enduring success of
anything or any place, that is, because
of its intrinsic merit, its real, actual
value to its patrons ; and for that single
reason, if for no other, Pinehurst neces
sarily will continue to be successful. But
it is not on this account alone that the
future and enduring success and popu
larity of Pinehurst is assured, as will
appear just a little later.
During the season just ended, Pine
hurst has had the misfortune to lose its
founder, the late lamented and sincerely
and deeply mourned, James W. Tufts, to
whose genius and energy the village
owes its existence. Pinehurst is his
monument, and one of which any man
might well be proud ; but the best of all
thoughts regarding it is that it is a mon
ument that will not be allowed to
crumble or decay. The founder, in his
will, bequeathed it to his son, than
between whom and himself no closer
tie, no more perfect mutual understand
ing, ever existed between father and son,
and it is that son's purpose and object to
an unmodified extent, to carry out in
every detail, and not only that, but to
supplement and augment, the plans, pur
poses and policy of his father regarding
the village he founded, and to make it,
to a greater extent than ever before, the
favorite and leading winter resort of the
sunny South. One evidence of the
strength and unquestionable sincerity of
this purpose is the excellent manner in
which the village and all of its multitude
of details, have been conducted since the
sudden and unexpected death of its emi-
COLF OPENING AT COUNTRY CLUB
1. II. Ilartlett, of Westfield: Wins the
First Handicap Willi a Fine Card.
The golf season at the Springfield
Country club opened yesterday with an
18-hole handicap medal-play tournament,
which was won handsomely by C. II.
Bartlett, of Westfield, who holds the
amateur record for the Pinehurst links
and whose gross score of 80 was two
strokes better than the net score of his
nearest opponent, E. J. Parlett, whose
card showed a gross score of 8G for the
round. There were many golfers at the
club enjoying the holiday, and there
were also many non-golfers there, the
pleasant weather being attractive. The
course was in very fair condition, though
somewhat wet in spots. Some of the
regular greens could not be used, and
this probablv had some eftect on the
if i " - ti -r
nent founder. And in this regard The
Outlook is authorized to state unquali
fiedly that the same spirit of active
energy and progress that has character
ized conduct and management of the vil
lage since that time will continue hence
forward to be the policy of the new man
agement and that all changes, improve
ments and additions to be made during
the coming summer, and future seasons
will be made with an eye single to add
ing to the comfort and entertainment of
Pinehurst patrons. Many and extensive
additions for this purpose are now under
contemplation, details of which will be
announced later, but in this, the closing
issue of this season, The Outlook takes
occasion to assure its readers that on
returning next season they will find
much to admire, approve and enjoy, in
addition to the wealth of attractions
which the village already boasts.
The golf links, in particular, will have
constant care and attention throughout
the summer. The turf will be carefully
cultivated, new hazards will be put in,
and a determined effort made to make it,
not merely the finest course in the South,
as it is now conceded to be, but also the
finest and best in the entire country and
one that will appeal as such, to the most
expert and critical of players.
scoring, though lack of practice was
doubtless responsible' for most of them
being on the high side. Mr. Barlett, the
winner of the event, ha3 developed an
excellent game during the winter, which
he spent in the South. He golfed at
Pinehurst, N. C, for a month, and while
there made a new amateur record of 76
in a tournament. The best previous
amateur score was a 77 made in pratice,
and the professional record for the
course Vardon's was 72. Mr. Bartlett
played with a lively ball here and at
Pinehurst, and he thinks it helps his
game considerably. Mr. Bartlett started
off with a 3 and played steady golf
throughout his round, going out in 41
and coming back in 39. The results of
the match follows :

John J. Eberhardt, captain of the
Springfield Country club golf team, has
arranged a number of good team matches
for the early part of the season ; it is
likely that there will be more of these
events this year than heretofore. The
matches so far arranged are as follows :
April.
26 Tekoa srolf club of Westfield at West
Springfield.
May.
3 Amherst golf club at West Springfield.
10 Mt. Tom golf club at Holyoke.
17 Mt. Tom golf club at West Springfield.
24 Vale 'varsity club at West Spring
field.
31 Amherst golf club at Amherst.
June.
7 Oxford golf club of South Manches
ter, Ct., at West Springfield.
21 Hampden County golf club at Chieo-
pee Falls.
28 Hartford golf club at West Spring
field.
The Forest park golf club opened the
se.ison yesterday. Many improvements
have been made in the course which will
undoubtedly increase the popularity of
the irame in the Forest nark district.
The grounds have been thoroughly
looked over and the greens that were
formerly a menace to the game have
been made over, leveled up and returfed.
The tees have been made over and recep
tacles have been placed at each tee, hold
ing both clay and sand, so that no
more difficulty will be had in securing
good tees. The bunkers have had a great
deal of work spent on them, and in the
future there will be less liability of
losing the ball around the bunkers.
There is a great deal of enthusiasm
anions: the members this snrinir. and
with the improved condition of the
course, the prospects of the club are very
bright.
Apropos of golf, a rather curious strike
is reported from Morayshire, says an
English paper. The women of the Moray
club have "struck" against the men, and
eighteen of them have resigned. The
Moray "loons" and the Moray "lassies"
are at variance to such an extent that
the lassies have boycotted the loons.
The quarrel, it seems, is all about a win
dow. The women wanted an additional
window in their sitting-room in the club
house. The lords and masters of the
