SUMMER OFACCOMPLISHMENT
Everywhere Its Evidences Enhance
Pinehurst's Distinctive Charm
More Complete Unto Itnelf Than Ever
Aefore Village Welcomes Old
and Ifew Friend
ALL DEPARTMENTS
of the Village have
shared in the summer's
important work, notably
golf course extension,
restoration and change,
the clearing of addition
al farm lands, the instal
lation of a more exten
sive water supply system, and general
Village, hotel and cottage improvement
and perfection. Manifesting itself every
where, it greatly enhances the distinc
tive charm which has always made Pine
hurst unique ; the ideal which so many
have sought and so few have found.
The important golf course work has
been the laying out of an additional nine
holes, leading up to the establishment of
the hitherto unheard-of equipment of
four -eighteen hole, six thousand yard
courses. The proposed changes on No. 1
and 2 courses, which bring first and home
greens in close proximity to the Club
house, have been pushed forward to com
pletion, but will not be used until the fair
green is thoroughly established. No. 3
course has been brought to a state of per
fection beyond the most sanguine expec
tations. New tees have been added and
new greens built. Several important im
provements have been made, including
the introduction of a wide open brook on
No. 10 in place of the marshy lowland.
The new No. 4 course will undoubted
ly, be open for play next season, results
which were declared impossible by many
when this work was begun. On all three
of the completed courses Bermuda grass
planting and fertilization has been exten
sively carried out under an improved plan
which promises satisfactory resistance
against the mighty army which tramps
over it from November until May.
On No. 2 course, there will be found a
lew more traps, three being added on the
11th hole to catch sliced seconds. The
13th will be lengthened at the tee and
traps added at the right of the fair green
thus forming an elbow which will not
bend! Water has been introduced at
many of the more central greens and the
various rain shelters completed at con
venient points. At the Club house a new
addition with shower baths and toilets is
greatly appreciated and in line with the
improvements begun with the tireproof
locker building completed last season.
The women's room has been fitted with
metal lockers greatly improving its ap
pearance. The new water supply system anticipat
es future needs, the work of installation
carried forward under the direction of J.
L. Ludlow, C. E., M. S., who has done
so much as a member of the North Caro
lina State Hoard of Health in improving
the water supplies of the state. The
water will be taken from Rattlesnake
Branch,uorthpaetof Pinehurst, the water
shed upon which there is no building and
vegetable delicacies in preparation and
trut for the use of visitors.
The hotels and cottages have received
especial care, a marked Improvement at
The Carolina, a sun, card and reading
room where formerly . was the east
porch. Private baths have been added
at The Inn and Berkshire, while new fur
nishings, paint and paper beautify the in
teriors of all hotels. Much the same
care has been bestowed upon the cot
tages. Mr. J.R.McQueen is again in gen
eral supervision of the property as the
assistant of Mr. Leonard Tufts, the own
er, and Miss F. B. Gray returns as the
General " Office cashier. Elsewhere

THE NEW ROAD TO ABERDEEN
owned by the Village, maintained as a
reservation. Electric pumps are being
installed and filtration beds built; Mr.
Ludlow enthusiastic in his estimation of
the equipment and supply as ideal.
One hundred and fifty acres of land
have been cleared for farming purposes
which are also available for dog training,
at the same time greatly improving the
section and serving as an object lesson to
show just what scientific effort can ac
complish in the sand hill region. Impor
tant additions have been made in blooded
stock to the Dairy and the Piggery herds,
and the Market Garden has a wealth of
special articles deal with other depart
ments of the Village; a Village now more
"complete unto itself" then ever before.

ment, the opening of the magnificent
Carolina is always anticipated. Satur
