BIRD HUNTERS HAVE
SOME LUCK DESPITE
ADVERSE CONDITIONS
Edwin A. Bigelow Reports He
Bagged 15 Quail; Warm
Weather and Abundance
Leaves Hamper Nimrods
of
The season on game birds op
ened in North Carolina Decem
ber 1 and after two days in the
woods in the vicinity of Pine
hurst, hunters have had some
luck, although conditions are not
good, due to warm weather and
the abundance of leaves which
continue to cling bo the short
oak trees.
Edwin A. Bigelow of Worces
ter hunted yesterday over the
Horseshow Quail Farm property
near Carthage and bagged 15
quail.
John T. Blossom of Cleveland
found some shooting over the
same coverts, and Curtis Wigg,
hunting with Jesse Rankin near
Ellebe, got a few birds.
John .Fritz Achelis shot a wild
turkey on the Horseshoe Quail
Farm property.
Mr. Wigg reports that the
hunting will improve with colder
weather. He estimated that two
good frosts and a stiff wind will
help matters. He says that at
present the birds are difficult to
locate and hard to shoot because
of the protection given by the
leaves on the oak trees.
A deer hunt and quail hunting
are on the program for guests of
the Pine Needles next week.

PINEHURST SCOREBOARD
I by LOU KOCH
Witnessing a program which was chock-full of variety and
fun, a crowd of over 500, made up of cottagers, hotel guests and
others attended the first Pinehurst gymkhana of the season at the
Carolina Riding Ring Thanksgiving afternoon. The events, in
order of running were: Musical Stalls, Ribbon Race, Potato Race,
Turkey Dash, and an open jump. Sandwiched in between the Turkey
event and the jump, was a special surprise treat, the presentation
of Peter Astra, Pinehurst-trained wonder trotter of the 1939 racing
circuit, find also the pure white filly, Snow White, both charges of
Dr. H. M. Parshall at the Pinehurst training camp. Peter Astra was
Jed to the center of the ring and was introduced to the gallery which
circled the entire riding ring, by Mr. W. H. Watt, noted patron of
the harness horse field. Mr. Watt referred to the famous trotter’s |
. record, his start in nine races and the winning of all,’ except one I
heat. Among his 1939 laurels, Mr. Watt emphasized the capture
of the classic stake of the year, The Hambletonian, held at Goshen,
N. Y., in August. Astra’s winnings, under the ownership of Dr. L.
M Guilinger of Andover, Ohio and the guidance of trainer Parshall
totaled $45,000 for the year. As a two year old he won $10,800.
Through Parshall’s counsel, the Andover doctor refused a recent
offer of $30,000 for the three year old. Mr. Watt then introduced
Dr. Parshall, who also praised his charge.
At this point, stable attendants brought into the ring a huge
“bouquet,” made up of handsome ears of yellow corn, apples, carrots
and other appetizing equine nick-nacks. The “bouquet” was placed
