THE PINEHUBST OUTLOOK
The Sandhill Fair
IF a rather trite observation can be
pardoned and the exuberance of the
press agent be conceded, tlie Sandhill
Fair is announced this year ns bijigger,
better and more interesting Uuin ever.
We go to press while lie fair is still un
hatched and the Secretary thereof is yet
interceding wih old farmer Fergus Mc-
Eachern McEcclefachan of Ballochmyle
for the possession of three ears of corn.
When your editor was a small boy a
Fair was, for the mind, an intellectual
holiday, and for the inner man, a de
bauch of pink lemonade. But now it
seems that we have fallen on solemn
days, and Fairs have become sorely
educational ” and correctly dietetic.
Oh, where is the African whose head I
smote! Where, oh where, is the hawker
whose dulcet tones sang irresistably to
my pocketbook until I came forward and
on his oilcloth-covered altar trustingly
offered him tribute of a nickel for his
wares! Peace to their honored ashes!
And may God be good to little boys
nowadays 'who are denied these soul-
stirring joys.
We may except, however. The Horse
Traders Convention. This will be quite
in line with the unedifying and noble
tradition dear to our fathers of old. It
touches the high water mark of achieve
ment. It is altogether a breathless and
brilliant inspiration. It exalts Pine-
hurst to the level of Bartholemew and
Donnybrook. And the fame of it hath
already spread from Dan to Beersheba
and the traders have gathered together
an assemblage of equine beauty the like
of which was never seen by man. For
proud Bucephalus will paw the earth
beside the old gray mare (who ain’t what
she used to be) and the snowy Ara
bian will whinny to the bray of the
answering jackass. And the traders
themselves? Friends, let us pause.
These are, indeed, gentlemen who are
the last renniants of a worthy line.

I was about to mention the Berkshire
Hog Show and Sale. Here on the 21st,
we meet with porcine grandeur truly
awful; here we see majestic, dish-face,
sows of the haute mondc; here is that
eight hundred pound boar of cavernous
grunt, all oblivious that his delivery on
the grounds nearly ruined the expressman
for life.
Through a cheering concourse of
people will pass in review the
best parade ever staged hereabouts.
Following in the wake of the twenty-
eight Tceniorlee Military Music Makers
and their attendant small boys will come
our soldiers, sailors and marines, and
each one anticipating, as he marches
along, not only the Red Cross dinner
that is coming to him, but also the
pleasant sound of the old, familiar
words: “You may fall out, men, and
smoke if you wish.’’ And in their
due order and sphere, as the marshal
ordains, will follow patriotic floats, and
exhibits symbolizing all the imporant
industries of the Country.
We are not permitted, either, to re-
vo:)! tlie full details of tlie superb Pageant
wh'ch will mark the Height of the
festivities. We know our school chil
dren have been drilling these past months
on all the songs of the ^^.iiies—including
I^ortugal and Costa Rica— and when
those young ideas do at last lift the
shrill voices in amazing chorus in the
presence of thousands of spectators, the
delight of all—choristers included—will
know no bounrls.
All who have ever directed a pageant,
or ever been in a pageant, or even
threatened with a pageant, will surely
have some conception of the soul-snp-
ping struggle inevitably experienced by
those in charge of the performance; let
it be known, therefore, that the dif-
fifMiIt tnsk was allotteil this time to
Mi-ss Esther Tiifts and Miss Alice
Page, and further be it known that, at
this late hour, these good souls are
still in Ihe l)ost of healh and we predict
that thev will not only survive but re
ceive congratulations on all hands for
their splendid Avork.
Tt is most unfortunate that this page
nuist be written in propiiecy before the
Fair is held. Tt precludes all possibility
of doing justice to it; nor can we in our
small, allotted space render homage to
Charles Picquet in appropriate measure.
Picquet is the guiding and directing
genius of it all. TTis is the great achieve
ment of having taken a baby fair in his
arms and nursed it along until the baby
*an stand on her own feet and hold her
own among the fairest of the fairs of
North Carolina.
