r it-: - I A THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK i " CAROLINA STEEPLE CHASE Won by Little Horn in a Great Race Wanamaker Rides Garth to Victory Virginia Hampton and Are Anini nee Come Back Into the Money. Mia Jill a. Souther and Tuflt Lead the Amateurs Home LIVENED by the wandering mins trels from Georgia, who heralded the victory of Little Horn in wild har mony the lyric . ... i beinsf suppnea niipiumptu uy John of the Stable, the Homer of the paddock, whose very thoughts are in hexameter, a particularly good program was given by the Jockey Club Wednesday. The grandstand overflowed onto the rail, and the cars were parked far down the course. Two old favorites came back strong. One was Are Amm Bee, going better than ever, twice vie--tor in the 2.14 pace. In each case it was by a thread, J. L. King's new entry Dzeron piling into the finish in both heats with all the appearance of a winner, only to break at the wire. The race of the day was the much debated contest between the Hurd and Wanamaker sta bles between those keen rivals, the Little Horn and Whisper Bell. This time it was twice around over the jumps, and then onto the stretch. This is the same distance that Wanamaker rode his fine mare in his first signal victory. Smith took the Little Horn over the course in perfect style. It is well known that for a sprint the Meadow Irook mount is unbeatable and is generally supposed that the Little Horn has the bottom for a longer distance. Wanamaker is a master at racing his own mounts witness his remarkable finish on Garth in the thoroughbed flat race, and it is a pity he was not on " his favorite. Whitlock rode for him a good race but a los ing one a "shade too fast for the first two rounds, and not enough speed left for the dash. The Lit tle Horn now stands undisputed champion over the hurdles. Miriam H., carrying the Pal metto colors, was back in the game. Pitted against Garth and Col. Welch's fast Kendelew with Whitlock in the saddle she made a splendid run for it led every furious foot of the way, and was passed just in the stretch by the powerful Meadowbrook entry. THE DEBUTANTE PURSE Miss Mabel Bliss once more established her title to Queen of the Track, and carried Jessie C. in a length ahead of Miss Sugg in the Debutante Event. Miss Sug however, gave a Stirling account of herself and urged Topsey into a, delirium of effort at the bend, passing Miss Esther Tufts on Nellie and Miss Elea nor Abbe on Button while the stand went mad. Virginia Hampton from South ern Pines outran the field in the "Tobbogan Purse," a half mile dash for thoroughbreds, drawing away from Kedron at the finish Latting on Travellor provided a fast and close contest, which was settled under the wire, as good races should be, a shade in Souther's favor. HEADQUARTERS FOR FRENCH WOUNDED Pay High Tribute to the Effort and Results of Work of Pinehurst Ladies Mrs. Parker W. Whittemore, in charge of the work carried on by the ladies of Pinehurst for the benefit of the French wounded, reports that the organization has completed 2300 surgical dress ings, 2,000 of which have been sent to the front. And that this work is not only appreciated, but is. thoroughly and efficiently done is attested by a letter recently received from Miss Edith Bangs, chairman of the Ameican Fund c JLi u " ftJ&Va; "HUB. Kfc "J u' .rrr I . 'i n' "mmmmmmrtr'T -- ' HARRY G. WARING 'S PLANTATION HOME with great power.' Capt. Heck went crazy before the event, and carried Thomas twice around the track in a John Gilpin act that wore him completely out. The stand cheered mightily at his plucky handling of the runaway. Souther then took a hand, but the old fool was run out, and couldn't keep pace with the leaders. A popular feature of the day was a 312 furlong Juvenile race, won by James Tufts, little mas ter of the gymkhana, over Lam bert Splane and young Louden. This followed a picturesque ex hibition suggestive of the colo seum, in which Whitlock rode two horses at once, standing, to the tune of great applause. Souther on Hatto and Jack in Boston. The letter says: Mrs. Parker Whittemore, Pinehurst, N. C. My dear Mrs. Whittemore: My letter to you had hardly gone before the Pinehurst con signment arrived. My attention was called , to it the first thing this morning and I cannot tell you how greatly we appreciate the generous supplies you have sent us and the wonderful stand ard of the work. Will you please congratulate your workers one and all, and tell them that sel dom do we receive from one group so many things so excep tionally well made, tied and packed. Every detail was com plete. The only criticism I have to offer is that the overdressing socks are rather larger than they need be. Fearing that possibly you did not receive a sample, I am sending you one under sep arate cover, so in case you should plan to make others you could make them somewhat more the size of the one I send in fact, I think they could be even a little smaller. The bed shawls which you sent are an innovation to us and we think them exceedingly in genious, so are delighted to for ward them and shall pass on the idea to others. As regards your question about shipping: We are not holding back our cases as the, French steamers are sailing as usual, and unless we should re ceive word either from the Clear ing House or the managers of the French line to stop shipping our supplies, we shall continue to" send them forward as hereto. fore twice a week. As the need is bound to increase rather than diminish in the many hospitals in France who are looking to us for help, we feel that it is especially important that we do not hold up' our cases for a single week if it can be avoided. It seems better to risk losing, one entire ship ment with the possibility of a number of shipments going through safely than to hold back all our supplies when the need for them is so great. I hope that the present condition will not mean that the help is likely to be diminished, but that it may be increased,, for surely if France should become an ally in addi tion to being a friend, we are bound all the more to give, her all the assistance in our power. We have up to now shipped from our Boston headquarters nearly 10,000 cases,. and have never yet learned of the loss of a single one. I sincerely hope that the good fortune which1 has been with us in the past may continue in the future. With renewed thanks for the wonderful help which your group of workers are giving us, which is especially welcome, coming as if does at this time when we are anxious to forward all we possi bly can in view of the imminence of the Spring drive and the thousands of additional wounded which it will mean, I am, Very sincerely yours, Edith Bangs, Chairman
