Friday, February 22, 1924 TIIE PILOT Page Two PINEHURST The week-end polo games brought in quite a number of guests at the Carolina from Charlotte, Winston- Salem and Greensboro, and the audi ences that witnessed these games were enthusiastic as the one with Fort Bragg, Baker Batson, Williams and Graves playing against the Sandhill team; Tuckerman, Lovering, Latting and Cameron playing with the P. S. P. Randolph, Jr., in several chukkas, Mr. W. V. Slocock as referee. The handicapp for Sandhill being 3, the re sult of the game was not for the most goals won as the summary showed Bragg 4, Sandhill 3. The - game on Saturday afternoon was the surprise of the season. It was played between the two New Carolina teams, Winston- Salem and Charlotte. Capt. Eagan playing with Winston and Mr. Bot Shaw, a playet of National fame, playing 3rd position with Charlotte. After a spirited game which left one in doubt to the very end, Charlotte’s score was 6 to Winston 5. The final game of the week and series could not be played on account of rain. It was to be played between the win ning teams, Bragg and Charlotte. As the stables of ponies of both Charlotte and Winston are maintained here dur ing the season these games will be enjoyed each week. Mr. Walker Vick, of New York, spent the week-end at the Carolina, and attended the polo games. He was here in the interest of National Polo, and was enthusiastic over his praise for Pinehurst Polo Club’s winter polo program, realizing that we now have the foremost polo season’s program being held during this winter. Mr. Robert W. Pomeroy, of Cam den, spent Saturday and Sunday in Pinehurst in the interest of the South ern championship match polo games to be played in Camden March 5 to 12 inclusive. The Sandhills Polo Team at present holds the Southern championship cup, won at Camden during the 1923 Spring tournament. The Pinehurst basket ball teams went to Fayetteville, Saturday eve ning, to meet the teams of the Fay etteville high school. The game be tween the girls’ teams was wonderful ly played. The score being 32 to 48 in favor of the Pinehurst school team. Miss Idelle McKenzie played brilliant ly and was easily the star of the game scoring 33 for her team. The boys were not so fortunate, but lost by a narrow margin, the score being 16 to 20. The program given by Ruth Dra per on Monday evening was a success from every viewpoint. Mr. Charles Picquet is giving to the Sandhills a series of entertainments during the winter season enjoyed by few places having at their command much larg er population. The Pinehurst public schools ac cepted the resignation of Miss Adra Clarke, of Asheville, on Saturday when she left for her home, called there by sickness in her family. Prof. Cason was able, with the few hours notice given by Miss Clarke of her resignation as teacher of the seventh grade in the Pinehurst school, to se cure the services of Prof. D. G. Sam ple, of Raleigh. Mr. Sample has been with the Co-operative Market Bureau of the State for several months, but has held several positions as an educa tor of ability, and he comes to us very highly recommended. Prof. Ca son spent Wednesday in Raleigh. The Parent Teachers’ Association, of Pinehurst, met at the school audi torium Wednesday afternoon at 3:30. On Saturday, October 16, Prof My ers, of Chapel Hill, gave the second of the series of lectures he is giving in Pinehurst. The first active work dond by the T. P. A. service organization is the sponsoring of the work day for the Pinehurst schools on Friday, Febru ary 22. Every one interested in the school are asked to attend and the ladies are invited to bring basket lunches which will be served on wood en plates and without knives and forks. The object of this day's meet ing is the cleaning and beautifying of the school grounds and play grounds. Shrubbery and ornamental plants are asked for, and money to buy these things will not be refused. Miss May McArm of the Pinehurst school faculty, visited Laurinburg for the week-end. On account of Rev. Geo. Hanna be ing chosen as one of the members of one of the ten groups of Presbyterian preachers and laymen of the Fayette ville Presbytery he will be unable to fill the announced dates at the Hemp revival services, beginning February 25th. These groups go out in the in terest of stewardship and th(j every member canvass being so much stress ed in the Presbyterian church at this time. The mid-week prayer service on Wednesday evening devoted part of the hour to Mission Study. The article by Mr. H. W. Sugden to The Pilot was read with appreciation by the number of friends he has in Pinehurst where he and his charming mother were residents for several months. It is with much interest and pleasure that we learn that a repre sentative from the Cross Nore Schools will be at the Department Store in Pinehurst with a complete line of the beautiful hand-made articles from this famous school. These articles will be on exhibition for several weeks. Mrs. Mildred B. Rush, of Cleveland, Ohio, will arrive Friday for a visit of several weeks with her daughter, Mrs. Chas. W. Picquet. The Valentine Ball given by the Shriners at the Country Club Wednes day, being the 14th, was largely at tended, and quite a success. Mesdames Dunlop, Quayle, Gardner and Hall motored over to Southern Pines Friday night, attending the Eastern Star. Mr. M. W. Wall was in Pinehurst Thursday discussing with the heads of the Swine Department of the Pine hurst Farms, the new features of the Pig Club work for 1923. Building Prospects and Lot Sales The indications are that the summer of 1924 will be an unusually active one in Pinehurst. There is usually a hiatus between the completion of the building operations begun in the previous year and the beginning of new construction, but this season is an exception to the rule. The contract for the new church on the Village Green has been let, and work will probably begin early in March. Mr. Milton S. Bird has com pleted the excavation and the con crete is being formed for the founda tion of his new home on the lot near the residence of Mr. H. Bradford Lew is, purchased from the Pinehurst Pla- tean Company. Mr. Albert S. Tufts’ house near No. 2 golf course is in closed and ready for the plasterers, and Mr. J. Bruce Cameron’s house on the Dundee Road is about eigthy per cent, completed. Mr. J. R. Neal has moved into his new home on Short Road though it is not quite done, and Mr. D. H. Stutts is building a double garage with two servant’s rooms and a bath near the Willow Oaks. Meanwhile plans are being perfect ed and bids received by many others who will build at once and operations will undoubtedly be in full swing much earlier this year than heretofore. Although most of the sales here are usually made in March numerous transactions have already been closed. Mrs. F. B. Richards recently bought another lot from the Pinehui-st Fla- tean Company, adjoining one she pur chased last summer. Mr. Frank But ler and wife (Annie Oakley) are mak ing preparations to build on their lot formerly owned by Mrs. ,1. D. Chap man near the residence of Mr. Geo. W. Statzell. Mr. J.

Many other transactions are pend ing, and the outlook is most promis ing.
