THE COMING SUMMER !
Preliminary Work to Comprehensive
Extension will be Begun.
Projected Improvements Include Mod
ern Casino with Swimming- I'ool
and other Notable Additions
to Equipment of the
Villag-e.
The season for 1902-03 marks a notable
epoch in the history of Pinehurst, and is
a brilliant prophesy for the future. It is
a conservative estimate to state that
double the number of guests could have
been entertained this year had their
been accommodations for them. To
meet this ever increasing demand pre
liminary work to a comprehensive exten
sion of the Village is to be begun at once
and carried rapidly forward.
A Modern Casino.
The most important of the projected
plans is the building of a large Casino,
modern in every particular, and especial
ly adapted to the needs of the place.

ous in-door sports and amusements and
as a special feature, will have a large
swimming pool about 35x100 feet with
an average depth of about 6 feet. Pro
vision will also be made in the building
for reading, writing, card and other
public rooms.
Extension of Water Supply und Heating-
Systems,
Engineers and architects are now en
gaged in making plans for an extension
of the water supply and an enlargement
of the steam heating systems which will
provide for both the future needs of the
Village in these departments. Notable
improvements are also contemplated in
the way of still further beautifying the
Village.
New Electric Ug-bt Machinery.
The work of completing the equipment
of the Dairy and other utility plants is
to be rapidly carried forward and plans
jire being considered for the installation
of new electric lighting machinery in
the Power House. It is expected that
these departments will be fully equipped
by fall.
General Jtenair Work.
The general repair work started last
year, repainting and re-arranging the
cottages and the like, will also be pushed
forward during the summer, and prob
ably to completion before another fall.
The Cottages.
As has been the rule in the past, this
seasons cottagers will be given the first
refusal of the cottages for the coming
year. Detailed information will be sent
out during August, when positive . de
cisions will be necessary.
The increasing demand for this sort of
accommodation has prompted the owner
of the Village to increase the equipment
in this particular and the building of
several new cottages is contemplated in

improved. The short course is to be
lengthened some one thousand yards and

made in the eighteen hole course.

the coming season is in excess of the
supply, some sixty in number.
Golf Course Extensions.
Work leading up to notable changes
and extensions in the golf courses is
already under way and the coming fall
interest, and handsome trophies will be
offered. In addition tennis will be
featured and other sports and contests
introduced.
Stocking with quail on the Pinehurst
Preserves will be liberally indulged in
and the planting of cow pea and other
food supply patches, has already been
carried out throughout the territory,
ALL THE YEAR HOTEL!
Demands of Early and Late Season Have
Created the Need.
Many Northerners will llemaln until
Eate, and Southerners will come
for Summer Months Summer
Itesort Possibilities.
The demands of the early and late
season here are steadily increasing each
year. Last fall visitors came several
weeks earlier than usual and this spring
hundreds have lingered, attracted by the
charm of the climate. This demand has
created an additional need in the Village,
an all the year hotel. To meet this The
Harvard will be keptT open during the en
tire summer this year, and if the patron
age warrants it this will be made a per
manent feature in future.
Pinehurst is fortunate in possessing a
remarkable climate which is warm in ths
winter and cool in the summer, and there
is every reason to believe that the place
has quite a future as a summer resort.
Few Northern visitors to be sure, will
come for the summer months, but many
will remain late, and many from the
South will be attracted here during the
summer by the beauty of the place and
its many advantages.
The summer climate here is especially
delightful. To be sure the thermometer
gets well up in the tube, but there is a
quality in the air that does not make the
apparent heat noticable, and there is an
utter absence of humidity. The nights
are invariably cool and a refreshing and
cooling breeze which tempers the heat of
the sun, is always stirring.
The Cherokee Hose.
The charm of Spriug at Pinehurst is
greatly enhanced by the beauty of the
native flora. Tiny blossoms dot the sur
face of the landscape everywhere and the
dogwood blooms luxurantly, but most
fascinating of all is the strangely beauti
ful Cherokee rose. Mrs. James Tucker
of Boston, (Margaret May), gives a
singularly fitting description of this
bloom in the following verse which ap
peared in Harper'' s Bazaar, and which is
copyrighted by that publication :
Who does not love the Cherokee rose?
Wildest, waywardest llower that grows;
Over the earth it clambers and strays,
In runaway chase, and rollicking maze.
Tangled and twisted its course may run,
What cares the Beauty, the careless one!
Climbing and twining in wind-rocked bower,
Clings and swings the beautiful llower.
Ever bewitching with matchless grace,
A heart of gold, white and pure face,
It gleams and shines wherever it goes,
In sunlight and moonlight, fair Cherokee Rose t
