SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL TWENTIETH, 1907.
PRICE FIVE CENTS
DURING THE COMING SUMMER
Third Golf Course Will be Added to
Present Superb Equipment.
Extensive Work In Various Depart
ments Will Make Villag-e
Scene of Activity.
INEHURST will be the
scene of much activity
during the entire summer
for extensive work is
planned to keep the Vil
lage abreast with its rapid
growth, notable in this particular being
the addition of a nine-hole golf course,
giving the Village three distinct and sep
arate courses, two eighteen-hole and one
nine-hole ; a golf equipment far superior
to any in the world, and in face of which
even historic St. Andrews must take a
back seat .'
Not only does the extension emphasize
Pinehurst's rapid growth, but it places
the Village in the lead as America's lead
ing exponent of the ancient Scottish
game; a forcible contradiction of the
"rumor" which one sometimes hears,
that golf like ping pong, and many
other sports that Americans have become
interested in, is but a fad for "a day, a
month or a year."
The increased equipment comes as a
natural consequence, for the growth in
golf's popularity has been spontaneous,
showing itself at first in the demand for
a Championship tournament, and now at
tracting the attention of the entire golf
ing world through four annual contests
of more than national importance.
The new course which starts nearly
opposite the fourth tee on the old course,
across the railroad track, ending close
by, has already been laid out and the
work of clearing and making putting
greens is well under way, indicating that
it will be ready for play during the
coming season. All who have gone
over the ground are enthusiastic over its
novel and picturesque features, and the
general opinion is that the excellence of
the location will overcome any objection
which may arise to the fact that there are
but nine holes ; to all intents and pur
poses giving the Village three courses of
equal attractiveness.
Other summer's work in connection
with the golf courses, will be the comple
tion of work on the new eighteen-hole
course for its opening next season, and
general improvement of the old course,
re-seeding and provision of additional
dressing and locker room to the Country
Club house, and the building of a new
and larger workshop for Professional
Ross, who will add to his repair work,
the making of special clubs for which
there has long been a demand here.
TOURNAMENT EVENTS.
The Country Club Schedule of golf
tournament events which has already
been arranged, will be even more exten
sive than in the past, provision being
made for five and six sixteens in several
of the important tournaments. The
"Pinehurst System" of qualification, in
which players qualify by the best sixteen
scores in each division will again be used
in the annual Midwinter tournament.
Particular attention will be given to
trap shooting, which has made big gains
in popularity during the season, with the
probability of one or more contests of
national importance, among them an In
terstate shoot, and, possibly, a Southern
Never have the cattle of the Dairy been
in better condition or the season's output
of pure milk and cream bee a larger or
more satisfactory, the installation of a
pumping plant being important work of
improvement already begun. The pig
gery or Berkshire department, will be
maintained upon its present scale, as a
means of caring for the waste products
of the Dairy.
Gradual extension and a constantly
increasing capacity has been the rule at
the Poultry Farm, work here having for
some time past, solidified itself into
definite lines of purpose ; the raising and
maintenance of breeds best adapted for
the needs of the Village in the way of
eggs, chickens, fowls, ducks, geese and
turkeys. Attention to the raising of
pheasants and quail for use in stocking
the Preserves, will also be continued with
the end to provide what is necessary in
this direction.

Championship, in connection with the
annual Club championship gold medal
tournament. Pistol shooting will also
receive its share of attention with the
annual United States Revolver Associa
tion State Championship, and the Club
Championship gold medal events, as the
leading features.
Tennis continues to hold its own in
popularity, and the usual tournaments
will be arranged for devotees of the sport
with interest culminating in the annual
Club Championship events. There will
also be the usual equestrian gymkhanas
which are enjoyed by the entire Village,
and an increased interest in base ball.
THE UTILITY PLANTS.
Maintenance of the Utility plants, the
Dairy, Poultry Farm and Market Garden,
upon the present high standard will be
an important feature, the summer's work,
including further perfection and neces
sary enlargement in anticipation of the
requirements of the coming season.
The Market Garden in its admirable
location on the high land just east of the
Power House has become not only an ob
ject of utility but of beauty, through the
effort of its interested manager, and in
creasing demands will be met by the ad
dition of another large greenhouse ; the
work, as in the past, being to provide the
vegetable delicacies for which Pinehurst
has a fame by no means local in its char
acter. COTTAGE EXTENSION.
The gradual growth of the cottage
colony is a gratifying indication of the
permanent affection admirers have for
the Village. During the past few weeks
two new names have been added to the
list of private owners, Frederick Bruce
of New York, and George N. McMillan
of Gorham, N. II. ; both of whom have
been annual visitors for many years ; Mr.
Bruce purchasing the Oaks, and Mr.
McMillan the Dartmouth; extensive
