ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
C. P.—Please decide the following controversy: <A 
donated cup and put same in open competition at a 
tournament given in April, 1904. Among the conditions 
printed in programme of tournament governing the cup 
contest, were the following: ‘‘First, the winner shall 
be subject to challenge during the year; second, the 
holder delivering said cup at A’s annual tournament, 
1905, will receive $100.’ The annual tournament was not 
given, due, A claims, to the fact that dates were claimed 
ahead which prevented him; but A will give a tourna- 
ment in February, 1906, when cup will be redeemed. 
B won cup April, 1904, defended it through the year 
and was never defeated for it. B was challenged for 
trophy October, 1905, but refused to contest, claiming it 
was not subject to challenge after April, 1905. A claims 
cup is subject to challenge until redeemed, February, 
18¢6. Who is correct? 
Ans.—B is correct. However, under the specifications 
the calendar year would be understood, so that the right 
to challenge ceased on Dec. 31, 1904. The published con- 
ditions govern the competition. As set forth, there is 
no intimation whatever that the cup is subject to chal- 
lenge till redeemed, nor is there any ambiguity in the 
wording. A written agreement always prevails over a 
matter of verbalism. 

PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
Pocket Cigar Lighter—advertised in 
another column—should be one of the most useful ar- 
ticles the smoker can carry. We have all of us been 
through the sorrows of the matchless condition, and 
have found ourselves unable to light pipe or cigar just 
when we most needed the solace of tobacco. Matches 
carried loose in the pocket are a constant danger, and 
in a box of any size are clumsy and in the way. <A 
eigar lighter which will do what is claimed for the 
“Instanto” is certain of a warm reception by that vast 
multitude of men who smoke tobacco. 
The ‘“‘Instanto” 
It seems hard to believe that within three-quarters of 
a day of New York city, there should be a place which 
offered as many attractions as does Pinehurst, N. C. Its 
hotels are beyond criticism, the weather is such that 
outdoor sports may be indulged in practically all winter 
long, and there is a great shooting preserve of 25,000 
acres. It is said that quail were never more plentiful 
than this year, and we assume that many of our readers 
traveling south in search of rest, amusement or health 
will have a try at them this winter.
