GOVERNOR A GUEST !
States Cblef Executive 1 Visits Pinehurst
with His Brilliant Staff.
Welcome in Keeping' With Dig-nity of
IBoth Office and Man Ilecep
tion and Hall were Featured.
The event of the week and the season
thus far, was the visit of His Excellency
Governor C. B. Ayeock, and staff, of
North Carolina, and Piuehurst's welcome
to the States Chief Executive was in
keeping with the high character of both
the office and the man, and the dignity
of the Village. The residents united
with the management in making the
occasion a notable one, and the recollec
tion of it will be a pleasant memory for
the visitors, and mark an importaut
event in the winters social pleasures.
The program consisted of a reception
and ball Saturday, the evening of the
arrival of the distinguished visitors, fol
lowed by the entertainment of the party
Sunday.
News of the Governor's coming re
ceived late Saturday, spread rapidly
through the Village and long before the
hour set for the reception the corridors
of The Carolina were crowded witli
guests from the various hotels and cot
tages. During the interval which pre
ceded the reception, The Carolina orches
tra furnished music. '
Shortly after 9 : 30 the reception began,
the governor and his brilliantly uniform
ed staff receiving in the parlors of the
hotel, in company with the matrons of
the week.
At the close of the reception the ball
began, members of the staff leading off
with the matrons. The scene was a
brilliant one, the dashing uniforms,
clanking swords and gold lace of the
officers making a striking picture in con
trast with the exquisite toilettes of the
women and the sombre evening dress of
the men.
Dancing continued until midnight and a
large company of "non-combatants" en
joyed the affair fully as much as the
participants; with the possible excep
tion of the young women belles of the
evening who without question, made a
profound impression upon the officers,
and who were frequently forced to divide
a dance so great was the demand.
Sunday the party was driven about
the Village by General Hotel Manager
II. W. Priest and Resident Manager T.
B. Cotter. The Sunday evening concert
at The Carolina, which drew an immense
company, offered opportunity for the re
newal of the pleasant acquaintances
made the evening before.
The party left for Raleigh on a special
car, early Monday morning. There
were present: His Excellency Gover
nor C. B. Ayeock and Master
Ayeock (colonel) ; Adjt. General B. S.
Royster and Master Royster (colonel) :
Col. P. M. Pearsall, private secretary ;
Col. W. D. Pollock, Col. J. E. Robinson,
Col. J. H. Erwin, Col. J. S. Cunning
ham, Col. Walker Taylor, Col. J. C.
Miclin, Col. Solomon Gilbert, Col. Al
fred Williams, Col. Jones Fuller, Col.
Wescott Roberson, Col. C. C. Bench,
Maj. A. E. Lloyd, Maj. William Landis,
Senator H. N. Pharr, Senator M. L.
Spence.
The trip was without "political'' sig
nificance, simply a pleasure outing for a
glimpse at the now world-famous Pine
hurst, and the only cause for regret is
among the young women of Pinehurst,
and that because the youthful colonels,
Masters Ayeock and Royster, did not
dance.
WORLD'S ItECOIlD DRIVE.
Travis Cet a Dlittance of 3tt Yard
at Garden City.
A drive that is a new record in golf
was made on Saturday Jan. 23, by Wal
ter J. Travis from the eighth tee at the
Garden City Golf Club links, during a
threesome with the well-kuown ama
teurs Bruce Price of Tuxedo and Arden
M. Robbing of St. Andrews. The drive
was 382 yards. The ground was frozen
and free from snow or ice, and there was
a following wind.
"I somehow managed to get off an as
tonishing long ball,' said Travis, in tell
ing of the feat. "The drive wa3 from
the eighth tee to the road in front of the
green, 382 yards in all. The actual dis
tance of the hole is 408 yards. The go
ing is practically level, a shade up grade
if anything, for some 3G0 yards, then
there is a gentle slope to the road of
some fifteen yards. So far as I know
this is the longest ball ever driven on
this or any other hole on the course."
The hole is recognized as a hard
par 4, for after the second shots the play
ers are more often in the road than on
the green. Under the scale adopted on
Wednesday by the New Jersey State
Golf Association, the par would be 4 1-2.
Travis spoke very modestly for he is in
fact entitled to a world's record. The
only drive on the books that exceeds it is
not definitely established and has never
been accepted as the record. It was ol
387 yards and made three years ago by
Edward Blackwell, always famous for
his long game, the play being from the
eighteenth tee at St. Andrews to the
steps of the Poyal and Ancient club
house at St. Andrews, the ball rebound
ing back some distance after hitting the
steps.
The record drive had been 341 yards,
9 inches made by "Freddie"' Tait at St.
Andrews in 1895, on a cold, frosty day
much like Saturday. Travis' drive is
now the record, for it is thoroughly au
thenticated iVew York Sun.
