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.

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
