FARE FOR THE
HORSE FANS
There is apleiily in sijrht for
the horse lover during the next
few ^vf>pks in the Sandhills. Be
he interested iji show hor.'^es,
polo, hiintinjT, steeplechase, flat
racing, or trotters and pacers,
the local scene has something to
offer.
Sunday afternoon will see the
first big polo game of the sea
son in Pinehiirst, in fact the
first important polo contest here
in many years. The revival of
polo is one of the features of
the local 1039-1940 season. It
used to be great fun in “the
good old days” before depres
sion to witness the matches on
the smooth greenswards of Pine-
hurst on Sunday afternoons, and
a good start has been made on
returning this fixture to the
seasonal card.
Lovers of show horses, includ
ing hunters and jumpers, will
have their innings next Friday
afternoon at the Southern Pines
Country Chib show ring, the oc
casion being the tirst annual
Spring Horse Show. Fourteen
classes, varied in interest, sire
on the program, and the entries
include the finest from the
many stables wintering here.
And the annual Steeplechase
race meet is now but three
weeks off, that biggest day of
the years in the Sandhills when
thousands surround the pictur
esque Barber Estate course on
