Golf starts out the New Year on the
Pinehurst Golf Links in a very satisfac
tory way, plainly assuring a brilliant
season. Play begun with the arrival of
Mr. "William C. Freeman of New York
City, and party last week and has con
tinued unabated. A number of matches
have been the result and an additional
feature came in the lowering of the course
record by Professional Donald J. lloss,
of the Pinehurst Golf Club.
The company represents men who
have played the best courses of the .
country and they unhesitatingly de
clare the Pinehurst course, as it now
stands after the improvements of
the past summer, not only to be un
questionably the finest in the South,
but one of the finest in the country.
They prophesy a remarkable season
for the winter.
;i OHI HALL TFAJI MATCH.
JTew It'iir'i Day Contest Close One.
Larg-e Callery Follows 'Hound.
Considerable interest centred about
the New Year's day four ball match
between John M. Ward of the Fox
Hills Golf Club, Staten Island and
E. A. Freeman of the Montclair, (N.
J.,) Golf Club vs. Mr. Win. C. Free
man of the Montclair Club and Pro
fessional Donald lloss of the Pine
hurst Golf Club.
Ward and Freeman won 3 up on 2 to
play.
The players were not in the best of
form but all suffered equally in this par
ticular and in consequence, the match
was a close and hard fought one in spite
of the fact that the scores were hardly
what the players wished them to be.
Mr. Ward's approaching was a feature
of the match and during the contest
there were many splendid putts. Mr.
E. A. Freeman made the 11th hole, 153
yards, and Mr. Win. C. Freeman made
the 17th hole, 152 yards, each in two.
Quite a gallery followed the players
over the course.
The scores in detail were as follows :
and Montclair Golf Club championships.
Last summer he won the first cup at the
tournament of the Ekwanock Country
Club, Manchester, Vermont.

Dig field of Entries and Excellent
Scores in Thirty-Mix Hole Match.
The visiting players opened their se
ries of matches with a thirty-six hole
medal play handicap match for handsome
first and second Sterling cups, presented
by the Holly Inn management. The
event drew a large field of entries and
resulted in many close scores.
Mr. E. A. Freeman (scratch) won
handily with 188 net but Dr. Frederick
Schavoir and Mr. Alex MacGregor had a
hard fight for the second trophy, Dr.
Schavoir winning in 173 against 172 made
by Mr. MacGregor.
Mr. George Dutton of Boston, and Mr.
Win. C. Freeman of New York, were
close together with scores of 175 and
177 respectively.

Driving: Data Did Xot Dampen En
thusiasm of IMayers.
Friday's 3G-hole medal play tourna
ment for cups oflered by the Holly Inn
management, for the two best net scores,
was evidently planned without consulta
tion with the Weather King and the re
sult was a down pour of rain during the
day. This did not, however dampen
the ardor of the players to a great ex
tent. They decided to make the match
18 holes instead of 3G and went ahead.
Five defaulted on account of the weather.
F. J. Bailey won first with 02, and II.
O. C. Davis second with G4. The full

The "Fuzzy Wuzzy" that Kipling
wrote about wa9 a "chap' that broke
the British square and in so doing, won
undying fame; but the "Fuzzy Wuzzies"
that one finds at the Pinehurst Poultry
Farm, are "chaps" that win the hearts
of women without storming, and who
will later win the good will of all by ap
pearing in various dainty forms upon
the menus of the hotels in Pinehurst's
Hotel System.
But in their quaint infancy, they are
of interest to all visitors to this depart
ment, established during the past
summer, and which is already begin
ning to play an important part in
supplying one very essential material
need of the Village.

The lloute.
The Poultry Farm is but a short
distance and easily reached, from the
Village. The shortest route is over
the road which passes the Pinehurst
stables at the right, and continues on
through the country-side until it
crosses a little brook. A few steps
beyond, and from which point the
buildings are in plain sight, a foot
path cuts across fields, almost straight
for the buildings.
It is a beautiful walk full of interest
to the Nature Lover during the entire
journey, with a little cabin on the
way, to add a touch of human interest.
All along the roadside are graceful
grasses and picturesque flora and all
about are stately long-leaf pines, the
stern, scraggly oaks. About the brook
are many strange trees and shrubs, with
pitcher plants hidden away for sharp
eyes to find, and tiny Mayflower vines
lying snug and warm beneath blankets
of dead grass, waiting patiently for the
coming of the Spring, when they may
unfold their delicate petals and exhale
their sweet fragrance.
The Farm Itelf.
The buildings of the farm are exten
sive and thoroughly modern in equip
ment ; well built, light, airy, clean and
with concrete floors and the most ap
proved devices for brooding, rearing and
feeding the chickens which come into
the world and leave it "orphans." Con
nected with the buildings are large yards
in which the chickens may chase each
