Tuesday’s Hunt ; The fox hunt last Tuesday was the largest of the season, computed from the size of the field. It may haye been something of a disappoint ment to those who would have enjoyed running behind the hounds for more than about twenty minutes. The fox was caught and killed in that X time. The reason for this is probably that the new dogs that we have been advised were recently purchase Jjy Mr. Tate down at the Pinehurst' Stables are too good. However, thj^jWtjre not too good to give a lot of ' fun to the merry hunters on the drag wliich was laid immediately there after. Among those present were Miss Eiriily May Wilson, of Southern Pines; Miss Elizabeth Rountree, of Knollwood; Miss Lucy Otterson, of Plain field, N. J.; Miss Elva Statler, of New York; Miss Ethel Harmon, of :: Atlanta; Mrs. P. S. P. Randolph, of New York; Mr. Allen Lincoln, of Springfield, Mass., and Mr. Thomas Brown, of Perth Amboy, N. J. Answers to the Questionnaire (We are forced to the conclusion that last week’s questions were still a little too hard. No correct set of answers were turned in. The nearest approach was the set by Miss A. H. Hilton, whose answers are given below.) ^ " 1. A brumbaugh is a deceased governor. (A tuft of grass on a golf links, called after the bushy eyebrows of Governor Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania.) 2. (Rev. T. A. Cheatham is chaplain of the Tin Whistles.) 3.

She is also national women’s champion. > - - 6. There is a miniature golf course on the Barber estate, recently pur chased by Mr. Meehan, and another one in a local barber shop, to name only two. 7. Why are Sandhills? Because they are hills of sand. (They are sand dunes, left by the ocean, which receded from this region much more recently than from the rest of the State.) 8.

(Blue’s Bridge is on State Highway 701, on the Lumbee River.) 17. There is winter canoeing on the Lumbee River and Drowning Creek. 18.
