THE MINSTREL SHOW
SAND HILLS POLO CLUB COST OF SPORT CLOTHES
Guests at Pinehurst and Southern
Pines are in for a rare treat on February
25, when the Golfers ' Minstrels will stage
their first performance at the Princess
Theatre in Southern Pines, and repeat
the affair in Pinehurst during the week
of March 7.
While all who attend are certain of
getting their money's worth, they will
have the double satisfaction of knowing
that the proceeds are for the benefit of
the needy children of Europe and for the
Southern Pines school. Professor Piatt
has been, tuning up his talent for a
month. lie says those with poor voices
have been fanned out, and those with
good voices have been given contracts
which call for their appearance at both
performances. The cast includes the best
talent in Southern Pines and Pinehurst.
Next week-end the Club expects a visit
from the Officers at Camp Bragg,
v v v
The Polo Pony Classes at the Horse
Chow to be held on Saturday, the 19th
.nst, are well filled.
v v v
Owing to want of suitable space for
the show, the Polo Club have given the
use of their No. 1 ground inside the race
track. The Polo game will consequently
tr.ke place on ground No. 2.
v v v
Miss Ivy Maddison, the only laly
player in the club, promises very well and
demonstrates the fact that any lady who
rides astride and goes well with hounds
across country can also become, with
practice, a good player.
After extended consideration as to the
best methods of cutting the costs of sport
ing goods, manufacturers have reached
the opinion that more can be saved on
distribution than production the next
year or two. Accordingly several of the
largest factories are multiplying and ex
tending their accounts with retailers of
men's and women's wear, except "in the
few of the very largest cities where they
have long maintained stores of their own.
That is why you see so many clubs and
balls and so much golf toggery, etc., in
the windows of clothiers and specialty
shops. It is believed the move will popu
larize all sports to a degree that should
warrant manufacturers in speedily nam
ing prices so low on the cheaper grade of
supplies as to attract a class of buyers
never giving thought to such recreation.

ant, will give an Indian dance and will
shoot an apple off the head of any one

good one, and everybody should arrange
