Nature of Estate
Preservation of the natural beauty
of the famous Gillette estate is the
key-note of the general plans just
completed by a well known landscape
architect for the recently opened de
velopment which has for many years
been the haunt of (winter and summer
visitors to Tryon.
Although Gillette Woods will be
supplied with all modern conveniences
taken direct to each property
line there will be no change in the
general nature of the estate. Engineers
are working out the roads thru-1
out the great pine forest wit ha view
of preserving the famous beauty of
the hills and valleys. But few additional
roads are . necessary to reach
;
all parts of the deevlopment and these
few will be laid out so as to conform
: with the roads that have for many)
j years attracted visitors along their I
I winding ways.
The present plans Include a nine
hole golf course which can be situated
in such a manner as to cause no
destruction of timber land. Natural j
hazards will lend a sportiness to the
small course equal to that of many
| large courses of the country.
1 Many of the annual winter visitors
have evinced pleasurable surprise
I that property 1 the famous beauty |
spot of Tryon Is now available to the j
public and inquiries are being recelvi
ed daily by Mr. Ellsworth, salesmanager,
regarding the property. A
' recent visitor, Mr. Goodwin of Hartford,
Conn., who knew the former
owner of the estate, Mr. Gillette personally,
has indicated his desire to
return to Tryon in the autumn to
build a home among the pines. Contracts
will be let within the next few
days for several new homes in various
parts of the development and a number
of sales have been recorded in the |
past few days.

The band began to play and Unhorses
and ponies began to canter
around the old Rase Hall grounds
out in the valley of the Pacolet River,
and the great event to which Tryon
has been looking forward for months
was under way on Thursday after|
noon of this w-' ek.
A hundred or more ant.mobiles
were filled with ladies with (heir
Easter hats and their n west Spring
eowns: men with knickerbockers and
golf caps, boys and girlcs with red
cheeks and sparkling eyes, all full of
excitement and expectation were on
the ground. A grand array of horses
with their bright trappings and high
spirit, a score or more ponies with
their young riders completed a brilliant
scene. The rain the day before
| had laid the dust, freshened up the
grounds and checked the forest fires
that had been burning for several
days.
Entire Populace Turns Out
To See Throughbreds Perform
Tryon had shut up shop and itini'd
out enmasse to make the first Annual
Horse Show of Tryon a great,
| success. The air was filled with the
I breath of the pines and the sweet
[smell of the woods. The surrounding
mountains formed a great and
picturesque amphitheatre around the
scene. The fluttering flags of the
Dogwood and the Judas tree were
partly unfurled and the blooms of
the Sarvis tree trembled in the air
like a swarm of butter flies. The
