The Midwinter Handicap Target Tour
nament will be held at Pinehurst on J anu
ary 17 to 21 inclusive. The program will
cover the whole week instead of several
days as heretofore, in deference to the
universal demand for such an extension.
The schedule for each day has been
announced as follows:
Monday, January 17. Practice day, to
consist of ten 20-target events.
Tuesday, January 18 and Wednesday,
January 19. On each day twelve events
of 15 and 20 targets.
Thursday, January 20, Morning, six
15 and 20-target events; afternoon, the
Preliminary Handicap.
Friday, January 21. Morning, six
events, varying 15 to 20 targets; after
noon, the Midwinter Handicap.
Saturday, January 22. Consolation
Day.
The prizes and competitions have been
so ingeniously arranged that everybody
has a fair show to win a money prize or
some of Mr. Gorham's silver trophies.
The winner of the shoot receives $350 and
played and the ponies cared for in the
best manner.
Now we have not been saying much
about it. But we have rolled and
manured and seeded and nursed our acres
out here with patience and loving care for
three years. We were prepared to do sa
for forty, and to hold our peace until we
had it.
We now wish to state categorically that
we have the best polo field in the South.
It has a deep uniform turf, which is
there to stay. And we are prepared to
house all the ponies on the Seaboard on
short notice, and to provide every facility
for this sport, in the same manner that
golf, tennis, shooting and all other winter
pastimes are handled at Pinehurst. That
is our representation.
Our invitation is for any team, or per
son in the United States interested in
the game to come take us at our word.
We will provide every conceivable facility
to make their adventure satisfactory.

handsome prize beside. The second man
gets $300, the third $250, the fourth $200,
the fifth $150, the sixth $100. The pro
gram as printed calls for $2,755 added
money. But we are told that since this
was published they have decided to finish
the week up in universal rejoicing and so
they .have appointed Saturday Consola
tion day and added a $50 trophy and $50
added money for this event.
The editor is of the opinion that there
must only be one man who doesn't get a
purse or caraffe, and for the benefit of
all other entries he intends to join the
match himself, and undoubtedly take
the position.

It has always appealed to us as a
pecularly expensive and unnecessary
thing for the Meadowbrook team and
the polo boys to go clean across the con
tinent to find a suitable place for a winter
match. But they all seemed to agree that
there was no field in the South in first
class condition, where the game could be
They came by way of Norfolk. Their
expressions of astonishment and relief
upon striking the Capitol Highway were
the more marked in the light of their
lurid castigation of the Norfolk end of
the journey.
The Gates boys, Franklin and Eussell,
drove Mrs. Gates down in a Packard from
Montclair, New Jersey. They came by
the Shenandoah Valley to Lynchburg,
thence to Greensboro by Asheboro to
Pinehurst. They were very enthusiastic
over the trip, saying they had a boulevard
the whole way except for eighteen miles
some distance above Lynchburg. It
appears that these eighteen miles are an
abomination. They are certainly a sign
that the prehistoric man, contemporary of
the mastadon and the wooly rhinoceros
still infests an antideluvian community in
the Grand Old Commonwealth of Virginia.
