THE PINEHURST
by the children of today is the game of
!hare and hounds, which originated in
England about 1640, and was as much
enjoyed then as it is at Pinehurst at the
present time.
Hide and seek began in Europe quite
early in the seventeenth century, and
rope skipping before ropes were invented
and when long vines had to be used.
Blind man's buff began with the Greek
children, who made so much of it that
even their parents became interested, and
spinning tops was a favorite pastime with
them and has come down through the
.ages.
The Greek children also originated the
game of seeing who could hop the longest
on one foot, as well as cane riding which
led to a stick with a horse's head, and
later on, to the hobby horse of which the
boys and girls of today are so fond.
Children flew kites in China so far back
that the date is forgotten, and the sport
is probably two hundred years old in
Europe, the first kites being made to re
semble a bird bearing the same name.
Leap frog is also very old and as popular
today as ever, and little girls have had
their dolls and little boys their drums,
since time immemorial.
FOIl IIOTII HOYS AND ClIIVLS.
Kdltor Would JLike Series of Stories
or Verse About lineliurt.
The editor of The Outlook, feeling
that something from the pens of its
youthful readers would be of interest, is
offering prizes for the first twenty stories
or verses, upon local subjects, sent in by
either boys or girls. Should the response
be prompt the offer will be repeated.
To each of the first ten boys sending in
-either a story or a verse, either upon
Pinehurst or its attractions, will be given
a base ball glove, and to the first ten
g'uls, a dainty water color box with
camel's hair brush.
Each story should have the name of
the sender written plainly at its top, and
it should be written only upon one side
of the paper, and in the senders own
handwriting. Contributors may select
any subject they desire, but it must be
concerning something connected with
Pinehurst.
All contributions should be mailed to
The Editor of The Outlook, Pinehurst,
N. C, previous to January fifteenth, and
?arly contributions are, of course, desira
ble. jron THU HO v s.
The Outlook Mill Offer Several
Trophies 19 11 ring- the Season.
The Outlook will manifest the usual
Interest in its young friends, again offer
ing several attractive trophies for golf
tournaments, putting contests and the
like, during the season.
There will be the usual handicap golf
tournament, and it is hoped that there
may be sufficient interest to warrant hold
ing an athletic meeting. Interest will
also be shown in base ball, basket ball
-and foot ball, individual souvenirs being
given if teams.are formed, and a pennant
offered if there are two or more teams to
jplay a series of games.
As usual, definite action will be taken
through the formation of a committee of
those interested.
The Outlook's Children's Column.
Many kind things were said and written
about The Outlook's Children's Col
umn, begun for the first time last season,
and the editor feels sure his readers will
learn with pleasure that it is to be re
peated again this year.
Not from youthful readers have these
commendations come, but mostly from
older people, for they all have young
friends, and hundreds of copies of the
paper have been sent away because of
this department.
New features will be added during the
season, the most interesting: of which
promise to be contributions from the
children themselves.

Reads backward and forward the same ;
It expresses the sentiments warm from

And to beauty lays principal claim.

The Annual Chriatmas Trees.
One of the pleasantest features of the
year here are the annual Christmas trees
in the Village hall, for the children of
the Village and vicinity, of which there
are usually three trees ; trees which not
only bring joy to childish hearts, but
older ones as well.
Ponies for the Children.
A new and attractive feature at the
Livery Stable this season is found in
ponies for the children, and the addition
is sure to result in an increased patronage
by the younger riders.

Dear Mr. Cory:- In the recent championship
tournament at Forest Hill, N. J. I used the
Cory Golf Ball Marker for the first time
and desire to state that on several occa
sions it prevented my ball being played by
others and so, perhaps saved me the cham
pionship I heartily endorse it and recom
mend it to all practical golfers. 1 no
ticed that it was used,by nearly all the
pro's in the tournament.
Yours sincerely,
