In suLmitting to the Association the result of our completed labors, in the issue ·of the twenty-sixth volume of the Annual, we have, to express regret that it has been delayed to a somewhat later date than u&ual, and that the prin.cipal cause of the delay arose from the dilatoriness of the assoc:'.ated dubs in sending in their returns of Office Bearers, members, etc., which form sueh a. large and im- portant portion of the Yolume. · The llnles of the Association, drawn up with a correct appreciation of what is required, pr2s~ribe that these returns shall be sent in by first Noveri1- ber at latest, wher~as this year a considerable mun ber of them were not received until well · into· December, and only after repeated solicitation. vVe shall refer to this matter more fulfy in onr Report to the April meeting, but as that report will not be published until tl}e issrie of another Annual, we ,vish to state, here, that, if we are entrusted with the compilation of the Annual for next year, we shall take care that any annoyance which mny arise from non-compliance with the Rule,; of the Association shall not fall u1jon your Committee, 01· 1lhe rule-observing clubs, but only ,upon the de faulters; and after this notice, they will haY<'' them selves alone to blame for any unpleasant results of their defective arrangements, or culpable neglect. In this volume we have secured several orig:nal and meritorious contributions to the literature of Curling, both in prose and YersP, and have added many sf:'lections bearing upon the game, celebrating its humanizing and recreative influence, the honor and rectitude which its rules demand in all curling intercourse, and the 1i.pbuilding o-f character which it shares with other manly sports in which the "sm·yiynl of the fittf'st" is the fundamental law; PREFACE. V and have also included some references to the un equalled facilities afforded by the climate of Canada for the practice of this and many other bracing sports, ,Yhich facilities, from their yery abundance, we are apt to look upon as a matter of course, in stead of recognising them as the happy character - istic of the glorious climate of our well loved Canada. The portrait of President Dalton, who has been 1n-ominent for many years as one of the most snccessfnl curlers in Canada, will be prized and eherif,hed wherever curling is known throughout the Dominion, and in many places beyond. Among the other· illustrations, we are pleased to give a place to the players ·who were fortunate in winning one of the District Cups last se::u;,on, and "·e express the hope that this "lead" made by ,Yaterloo Club, will be followed by all the District Ctip winners in the years to come. "'hile welcoming a larger number of advertisers than we have previously been favored with, we look upon the increase as an indication that the value of the Curling Annual as an advertising medium is being more adequately appreciated than it has- been, and we are best pleased to find that those who have used our pages steadily every year, from the first issue, have all been successful in their respective businesses. They have helped tis, we trust ,ve have helped them. ,v e wish the com pliments of the season to all, both new and old, and hope that our business relations will be satisfactory to both parties. And we commend this present con tribution to the Annals of Curling in Canada, to the kindly criticism of our fellow curlers. TH:BJ CO'i\L\IITTEE. Toronto. 24th Dec., 1900. HINTS TO SECRETARIES OF LOCAL CLUBS.
· The orderly and successful carrying out of the work of the Association depends so mu<'h upon the Secretaries of the affiliated clubs, that we take the liberty of in,iting their hearty co-operation to,vards k<'epiug their respectiye clubs in closer touch with the Association. Fi,rst.-If your clnb has uot a code of By~laws for its goYermnent, St'l' that one is adopted without delay. 8cco,nll-.-Hold .rour meeting for organizing for the ensuing season EARLY IN OcTOBER, elect your Repre- 8enta ti,es, aud instruct them in regard to issues to be discussed at the meeting of Representatives, on the third Tuesday of that month. Third.-See that your returns of Office Bearers and l\lembers, also of Club Records are sent to the G·ENERAL Secretary before the last named meeting, and at all EVENTS BEFORE THE 1ST No·VEMBER; AND FOR THESE RETURNS USE ON[L Y THE PRINTED FORMS SPECIALLY PREPARED FOR . THEM, and sent to the Secretaries of all local clubs; if they ha,e been lo:'>t or mislaid, a vost-('nrd to the General Secretar~' will bring a fresh su11ply. Fourth.-E,ery club should preserYe a record of all matches played "·ith other dubs, as well as thos~ played ,vithin the club for prizes; and should have :i summary of both publishe'd in th0 Annual. INfth.--'-In all matches at the' Points' Game, th~ SCORING CARDS PREPARED BY THE ASSOCIATION should he used; a Pd the score of each one of the fonr stones played at each point should br~ carefully 1.·egis tered; when thi~ is done, both the club and the in dividual players "·ill disc-over where they are weak, and where strong, and can thus knon· how to make themsel,es strong all around. Sixth.-·See that your ice rinks for onlinnl'r games ns well as for sEt· matches, are laid out in perfect accordance with the Diagram in the Annual, and "·hen yon hnye to play on the ice of other clubs see thnt all the Rink Lines nre properlr rnnrked.

Seventh.--Abide strictly by the Rules of the game in all matches, and insist that your opponents do the same. Should" any special agreements be made, see that they are made in writing, and signed· ·by re sponsible parties. E,ighth.-Collect your club fees in advance. It is an excellent plan to have a gem;ral match at the be ginning of the season to ,vbich no one is admitted until his fees ha Ye been paid; another is to allow no one to vote whose fees are unpaid.

If there is such a thing as "Ethics of the Dust," and Mr. John Ruskin assures us that there is, why should there not be an "Ethics of the Snow"'! The winter is surely as mnch concerned with morals as the s'nrnrner. 'I'he fine, white, sparkling crystals of ·Jan nary ought to be as apt to t.::-ach as any of the blinding, choking particles of dirt which torture us in July. It is remarkable that Shakesp€'are's YiPw is as ,me sided as Ruskin's. He too thinks only of the summer when he assures us that there are · " sermons in stones, Books in the running brooks." I suppose he considered that summer is nature's day time, when she is active and vocal, and that w·nter is her night, when .Jack F'rost puts her to b€'r1 arnl 2 ONTARIO CURLING ANNUAL. tucks her comfortably beneath white quilts. Then the stones are out of sight and cannot preach. Poor creatures! their sermons are but pantomime, mere dumb sho-,Y, which a curtain can silence (of course, the roaring stones of the royal game are not in the poet's mind). And the brooks are silent too, frozen over vdth a mail of ice, and no one can read the books they contain. '\Yell, we will let the stones and the brooks enjoy their season-long repose. Their message .is not so great anyhow that they require a whole year to ·Je clare it. Few sermons are tolerable for anything like the length o.f time the stones preach. But what of this that hides them? So strange that African chiefs call it a fable, so familiar that the Esquimau:x: ~ever tread on anything else-s'O possessed of ecstacy for well-fed, red-cheeked children; so dreary and woe ful for the aged poor-the exhilaration of the strong l unged, the dread of the consumptive. vVhat, I say, of the snow? Now it is manifest to all men that the noblest form of snow is ice, and the noblest use of ice is for curling. Hence we may reasonably expect to find the secret of winter, the hoarded mystery of the ·white fields, the ethics of the snow, in the game of curling. There, strange as a diamond in a clay-bank, truthful as an angel. among brooms and stones and tufted bonnets, we read the story that winter writes. It is a story of gaiety. · The sombr•euess of winter is not an example but an opportunity. Nature with draws her pageant that man, her pet, may have a free stage. When nature is gay, she is so exce:;;sively and oppressively jubilant that man is forced into ?ulness. Summer is the season of drudgery, or of indolence. In the tropics, where nature's glory is at its climax, among "palms in cluster, knots of para dise," human industry expires. 1\Ian is nothing be- ETHICS bF THE SNOW. 3 eause nature is everything. It is in high latitudes and the winter season that men enjoy "their long nights of revelry and, ease." Nature goes to sleep. Man awakens. Have you ever, my· dubious friend, stepped from the storm-swept streets mto a curling rink? With muffler wrapped about your throat, your fur cap pulled over your ears, bending your body to meet the blast, you struggled to. the door and entered. What a change! the gleaming lights, the busy figures of men, the waving brooms, the sonorous ring of the sliding stones, the sharp commands of' the skips, the friendly jests, the ringing laughter, the shouts of suc cess-what could be a greater contrast to the storm without. And yet, my friend, this gaiety is only possible because of the storm outside. Come back in summer and you behold no such vision. The best physical exercise. is always gay. The disadvantage of ·a walk is that you can remember while you walk. Your worry mounts your shoulder and make:;, you carry him. And these dumb-bells and Indian-clubs, and elastic ropes, and punching bags! really a man had need to conceal himself from pub lic gaze while he uses them, for he feels like a fool, and would in his heart blame the world for lack or humor if it failed to laugh at him. No man is re· building tissue and rejunevating his mind at any thing like a reasonable speed whose exercise does not make him forget his woes and plunge him into joy. The best contest also must be gay, There are many sports which do indeed e:s:clude all thoughts of any~ thing but themselves, but themselves are so strenu• ous, grim and fierce that we wonder they are not entered in the categories of war rather than of plea~ s-ure, and made amenable to international law rather than to the decisions of a referee. No game is worthy 4 ONTARIO CURLING. ANNUAL. of immortality as a game, unless it can be played with a laugh. · Th~ chiefest component of recre~tion is cheerfulness. I will not ·quarrel with other sports. The earth is big enough for us all. Doubtless they have their good points, but they do fail ju cheerfulness., Foot ball is an excellent exhibition of the gladiatorial sort. Lacrosse still reeks of the war-whoop, "Of the shaven crown, and the 'painted face, And the shot from behind a tree." I have heard that golf is a cheerful game, and was ready to believe it, for it is of Scotch origin. But again I heard that it ·was a game of fearful ·wrath and profanity, wherein clergymen provided themselves with deaf caddies. So I look oyer the whole list of manly siJorts and find none so diverting, so joyous, so recreative, so thoroughly what a game ought to be, as curling. There are indeed slanderous reports which evil minded devotees of other games have circulated to the injury of curling. It has been alleged that mueh 'useful work has been neglected because of the siren fascination of the roarin' stanes-that the wife and the bairns haYe sat shivering because Donald, sent for peats, laid his creel down by the side of the pond-that prisoners haYe gone untried, perhaps un hanged, because the provo$t had to s:dp a match game-that congregations on the Sabbath got "cauld kail het agaiil'' for a similar reason-yes, that con gregations have split and secession reared its baleful head over a disputed measurement at the tee-that on one Christmas day a vi·eaYer broke through the ice at a critical moment in the game and was drowned before anyone could find leisure to reseue him, and further that as his body was carried homewards on a 1·shntter one of the bearers remarked, unrehuked by ETHICS OF THE SNOW. G the others, that "he wad 1wver have been maer than a lead anyway"~but all these bear the marks of' untruth, being either the hoary legends of a wonder loving age, -when pixies and bogies were common, or the malicious inventions of wicked men whose per verted natu~·es hate everything that is · innocent o.r healthful or. joyous. '\Ve are convinced then, by this mo:-;t rational ancl philosophical course of argument, that there_ is · no game like curling, and no. nwn like those who play it. vVe are sure that even the curlers of Ontario will admit this, and after that, why, thel'e is no more to be said.

Summer slumbered in winter's arms, "\\Tinter rose and he tucked her in; "Hush," he said to the harbor's din, "Hush," he said to the brooks and farms; Silent grew then the forest grim, Naught was heard but the creaking limb. All the good that gave &ummer joy Winter tenderly stored away; Rest it found after• toil and fray, Tiny seed and the sprout so coy Hid like kernels in hardened nuts, Earth was crumbling around the ruts. All the ills that made summer ache, Pe-Rt-seed, sickness and harvest blight, Winter banished in frost and flight; Stainless, summer in peace shall wake, Laved in snow and the winter winds, Hailed by quicken'd and healthy minds.

SOME FLUKES AND MISSES. The skip was looking anxious, and his vice-i:,krp was at the hack ready to play his last stone. The opposite side had three stones on the front rings. and two counters behind them, near the tee. The i:,kip was remarking to himself, just audibly, 'he might draw to it,' and holding his broom at the spot where he wanted the draw, he was silently consider ing the chances. Then he glanced up, and in an instant there was annoyance in his eye, as he saw the stone was roaring down the ice. " Why didn't you," he shouted, and before hi:;; sentence was com pleted the stone had landed among the enemy, and after the scatteration which followed, he completed his shout of anger with a great shout of joy, for he then lay shot. We are going to win this game, was the confident satisfied thought of the skip, as after a successful end he was six up with only one end more to play; hut great was his dismay to find, after the othel' skip had played his last stone, that there was a 8 ONTARIO CURLING ANNUAL. seven end, and that he had been downed after all by a point. In curling it is often the most unexpected that 1happens-" ,ve are shot-I must have a guard mind the broom " shouts the skip, and the player does his best to start his stone towards the point where the broom rests on the ice. He plays narrow, and as the stone goes up, it begins to fall far over past the point where it is wanted, and all is gloom, but on it goes falling still, and it falls so far that it strikes a front stone on the off side, and wicks it across to the exact point where a guard is wanted, and the dour. look on the skip's face expands into a broad smile. ,; You have got last stone, Well! We are lying shot, and I want you to dra,v bei,,ide it for another." The last stone <'Omes up, just a little too hard, and it strikes the shot and sends it 01,t one side, while it goes out the other, and the opposing skip counts three. WINTER IN CANADA. The coming of winter in Canada is one of the eai,,i est, most beautiful of all natural phenomena. Foi· weeks the woods have been flamboyant with red and yellow of the departing leaves. Suddenly the de ciduous growths are bare, and the only colors left are the manifold shades of green, which make the northe-rn forest immortal. Then of an evening there is a haze around the November moon, and before morning the snow begins to fall in . a continuo1:s, business-like fashion ,vhich tells you that the king has come to reclaim his own. In the morning the wilder ness is tucked away beneath a thick. white coverlid, and you will not see bare ground again for six WINTER IN CANADA. u months. In the cleared fields and open roadways the wind blows cold, but in the forest you feel scarcely a breath of air, and during the first month of winter ~·ou rarely need to co,er your ears, or ·wear ·any extra clothing. " Every ·writE·r I kno,w of, who has been on a win ter hunting trip in the north; has seemed to be· im pressed with the idea that he must find some hard ship to tell about. I have often seen the Canadian wilderness. I have worked my way by canoe _and. portage in warm weather. I have journeyed by snow shoe in winter and dragged my own toboggan, and it is my firm belief, Caspar ,vhitney and Frederic Rem ington to the contrary notwithstanding, that there is only one climate in the world more enjoyable than the Canadian summer and that is the Canadian "·in ter. The discomforts of that ,..,-ilderness are mostly imaginary. You can pt,'t on a pair of snowshoes and travel all day in them, the very first time you try, and not be nearly as tired at night as you would be after a ten-mile walk on the pavements of a city. You feel the cold a great deal tnore on Broadway, Island of Manhattan, than you do in the deep woods of northern Canada."

MOfJERN BRITONS. 11 MODERN BRITONS. SoME PARAGRAPHS FROM LORD RosEBERY's GELE BRATED ADDRESS TO THE STUDENTS, AT GLASGOW, Nov. 16TH, ]900. " How do we stand with regard to those healthy, hardy, frugal virtues which mean so much, physically and morally, to a people? ,vhether an insidious and excessive luxury is not prevalent among us; whether the passion for wealth, its influence, and the wor:;,hip it receives, be not a danger; whether, indeed, our land is not becoming the playground and pleasance of the plutocrats of all nations, in itself a symptom not wholly bad, but yet not wholly good, for a plutocracy is one of the most detestable of all dominations; these are grave questions with which we are confronted. " Against this apparent luxury we set the rough manliness of our sports, our cricket, our football, our hunting. That in itself is no adequate answer, for even healthy sport, like other good things, may be , overdone. But, looking back at the past as a guide for the fntnre, I ask myself what was the secret of the marvellous success of the Scottish people during the last century in Scotland itself, in England, and in the outer Britains'? It was not achieved in purple and :fine linen, in soft raiment, or in kings' houses. No! their poverty was equal to their patriotism: their energy to both. How did they succeed? By intense industry, by severe frugality, by constant adaptability to all circum• stances and all conditions, however rigorous and novel they might be. And so it was that they raised Scotland to wealth and Scotsmen to power, and mude both Scotland and her sons the objects of that j!"'alonsy and su:;,p1c10n which are some of the sincerest te:;,timonies to success." ONTARIO CURLING ANNUAL. Speaking of the civil and diplomatic services, and of the army, Lord Rosebery said: " Now, brains, though necessary and desirable, are not everything; for administration undei: varying climes and circumstances, 1vhat I may call wild ad ministration, you want much more. You want, for this purpose, force o.f character, quick decision, phy sical activity, and endurance of all kinds; besides, if possible; the indefinable qualities °"·hich sway man kind. Yon want men who ·will go anywhere at a moment's notiee and do anything. These qualities cannot be. tested by civil service examiners. And yet we have a good deal of dare-devil, adaptable ra-w material lon hand. S'ome of the young generals, who have coine through the arduous experiences of this war, will be fit for almost anything that they may be called on to do. * * * * " ' Sanitas sanitatnm, omnia sanitas,' said one of your dead Rectors, and he did not greatly exagger ate. Health of mind and body exalt a nation in the competition of the universe. The survival of the fittest is an absolute truth in the conditions of the modern world. Even if our schools and universities train the national mind efficiently, the national body may not be neglected." " Our people do not realise the actual closeness of competition, and the cold, elaborate. vigilant science which that fact invol,es. The calculating tortoise in these clays will always overtake the exuberant hare; and yet_ even the tortoise will seek to improve his pace. Everything that survives becomes refined to an art. * * * * * " Take your games as an instance-Chess, I suppose, w aS! in its· inception an artless diversion: It now taxes the most acute minds, and MODERN BRITONS. 13 elicits new powers from the brain. The first cricketer, as I judge from portraits, played with an elementary club, which would now be wholly incom• petent to defend a wicket for an im,tant. But foot ball affords an even stronger illustration. I suppose it began in the childish propensity to play with a ball, and the bo,yish anxiety to kick anything. But it has developed into a science. I know of no sirort which affords· such lessons for national success as Association football. I do not indeed understand the refinements of the game. But the meanest in tellect can grasp that it implies incessant watchful ness; that its essence is an alert combination of all powers for one object;, that indolence or selfishness are fatal; that the player indeed ·who does not do his best to co-operate, or who, plays for his ffwn hand must necessarily be outlawed. So it is with nations. If they desire to survive they must constantly sharpen their intelligence and equipment. They need the constant co-operation of the Government with the governed; of science and vigilance with commerce; of the teachers with the taught, and with the age in ,v hich they teach. * * * ' * " I urge you then; gentlemen, to realise in your own persons and studies the responsibility which rests on yourselves. You are, after all, members of that company of adventurers (used in the Elizabethan and not the modern sense) ,Yhich is embarked in tfie business of carrying this Briti~h Emnire throngh the twentieth century. Bach of you has his sharE' in that glodons heritage, and each of ;vou is answerable for . that share. Be. then, practical partners. intf'lligent partners. industrious partners, and so you will be in the best sense practical.". 14 ONTARIO CURLING ANNUAL. A CHARACTERISTIC SKE,TCH. A SKIP. There are men who acquire distinction as skips in the game of curling, just as men rise to prominence in politics, or the church, or in other walks of life. Each king of the tee has his own curling charactel" and individuality, made up in part of his skill with the stones. his personal qualities, his antics u'l)on the ice, and the harangue which falls from his lips; all over and above the enthusiasm which is never ab sent. vVe hear of bankers, journalists. scientists, etc., of whom something is written, and above which is printed the words " Canadian Celebrity," ancl why should we not essay to paint a word picture of a curler, though the task be as difficult as the artist's attempt to reproduce a sunset, and per.haps as unsatisfactory. In this game of the moving spheres, w.hich,-afternoon and evening, from Halifax to the Rockie&', all winter through,-is engaged in by bank ers, journalists, scientists, and all the others, there appears here and there a man, before whom some of us should do reverence, and from whom some of u·s might take a lesson, and for such an one we are looking. We see before us the tall and stalwart frame of a Canadian born, who, though still in the vigour of young manhood, has already attained an envied distinction in his serious life work, and who steadies himself there by the exercise, delight and enthusiasm which comes to one who flings the s.tanes. and wields the besom, and for the time being lives in the spirit of curling, and is oblivious to ought else upon this revolving earth. His moving stone is for him the world in miniature. with its similar shape and triple motion. · A CHARACTERISTIC SKETCH. 15 Just as every soldier who can shoot straight is not fitted to be a captain, so it is upon the ice, skill alone does not qualify for a skip, and this is sometimes forgotten by clu·bs when the October election comes around. It will be found, where the skips are en thm,iastic and kindly and attentive to their players, that the game flourishes and the curling club becomes the boast and the pride of the town; b1...t where the skips lack, the game languishes, fine ice on a sharp night is unoccupied, foreign victories are few, and inter-club matches are seldom finished. The skip we have in mind is not one of these self centered sort, who thinks of nothing but his own shots and skill. He plays the game in a dignified way as benefits his size. He does not rush and run and sweep with the energy of some, and so when the weather is cold he wears his gloves. At odd times however the spirit moves him mightily. as when a stone has lost its turn and is falling away, he will then try to mesmerize it back with the Highland fling and other appropriate gymnastics. We may well watch him a little more closely, as he is busy directing affairs among the stones. His clothes do not tell as mt. .'ch as we might expect,-grey sack coat, peaked cap, and brown gloves, one of which he takes off now and then as he turns to skake hands with some of the spectators, for he seems to be a man with many friends. He is slow and deliberate, interested and careful, and his six feet and some inches enable him to look over the head of the other skip, as the op posing stones come on and enter the rings. As he thus stands· in repose, a slight stoop would seem to indicate a poring over books and some familiarity with a pen and a desk V\Then the stones have gath Ned in and the cumbered rings become a chess bo1ard, he may be seen walking about and gazing down, deciding what is to be attempted next, and 16 ONTARIO CURLING ANNUAL. how it is to be accompfo,hed, to hold what he has, or to take from his· opponent what the latter has gained. His broom gets proper use on the ice and in the air, he signals for what he wants and also what he gets; now he holds it in both hands, now under one arm with his hand in his pocket, retreat ing, advancing, sweeping, a quiet skip on the whole. vVhen he goes to the back to play he runs or slides, pulls off his gloves, kneels, twbts .his st.one on his broom, swings it ,vith deliberation, slides after it to the tee, crouches there watching its progress, or fol lows it to the rings, as the circumstances seem to require. ,Ve observe him too, friendly and chatty with the opposing skip, and ready to discuss his own plans of campaign with his vice-l,kip before going to play. Between him and each man on his rink there is a continual wireless telegraphy, for this alleged recent discovery has been known to Ch'rlers from the beginning. Across the ice flashes that under standing between commander and men which makes the rink a unit instead of four disjointed members. He realizes, too, that his men are mortal like him self, and l,O expects that there will be some misses, and when they come he encourages and does not blame. If we now use our ears, we ,vill learn at once that on the ice ot,:r skip is not pessimistic. " Well played," and "All right," are the texts which are \YOTen through his discourse from beginning to end. "Jack! I want you to draw one for yourself," and as Jack's stone approaches in a likely manner, Jack gets an address of three words many times repeated, of "vVell-played-sir," and feels proud of his shot, and of the familiarity and respect with whir·h his chief g-ives him his Christian name, and yet "Sirs" him. Then Harold gets his turn-ff'l' it is a feature of curling that Christian names will ont-"All right A CHARACTERISTIC SKETCH. 17 Harold, not quite so heavy-that's good, sweep now vVhoa! whoa!-Shot you are sir." Then comes an other end, and he shows his faith in Jack by an other address of this sort. "Now, Jack-you can jt:st come in between those if you like-that's like it -vVell played, sir." And then, when Jack has been supplanted by the enemy, and with the side of his foot in the hack and eye on his skip is ready with his second stone. "Now, Jack, I want you to put that one through, and lie over here-whoa! whoa! whoa! too heavy I'm afraid." Then we hear him shouting, "well played sir," to his man who has accurately taken · the broom and hit the stone as directed, even though the result has been to give the other side the shot. He did what he was told and gets his praise for it, though the result is disastrous. In the town where our skip has his devoted follow ing of th1:ee, and from which he has sometimes gone forth to play in tankard matches, and where at curling meetings he is always called on for the speech of the occasion, and about the length of two stone puts from the rink, stan -R J.M. 18 ONTARIO CURLING ANNUAL. THE LEAD'S VALENTINE. All hail to thee! my granite joy~, ,vho curl for me with roaring noise, For you my valentine shall be If you'll draw well and guard for me. With firm foot in the hack I stand, And gaze along that ice plane grand, And watch my skip, and lay you true, And hope that you will not slip through, And pray that n'er a hog you'll be, But that you'll rest close by the tee. Ah! there you glide, with gentle curl, I hear them shout, my brain a-whirl, "Sweep, sweep," he crieg, the besoms fly, " Well played, jm,t by the tee you lie." The other lead his first stone flings- It runs, it roars, slips by the rings. "A gu•ard, a guard! Oh! for a guard." My skip shouts down, "Don't be too hard," "In turn to that," his broom I play, My second stone slides on its way . ..With broom in hand I wildly chase, And yell till I am red of face, "She's slow," "Sweep, sweep." No, hold, she's fast," " Sweep, sweep," t0 get the hog line past, " Up brooms," the skip cries. "Let her die"; Oh! what a well-played guard I lie, The greatest fame I've won, I feel I'm fit for any tankard spiel; And as I later gaze with pride, T'o see my stone count for our side, All other sport~ I must decline, My red hone8 are my valentine. -R.

RECREATION NECESSARY. In S'amuf'l Smiles' life of George l\:Ioore, the well known author of the Commercial Travellers' Schools in London. we find the following story of a celebrated derg;vnrnn'K ·dews on recreation: \Yhen a series of concerts for the people was lw;:?:un in Edinbmgh, Dr. . Guthrie, of the Free Church, was present at the first one. He said: "I lrnYc come here to lend m;\· countenance as a minister to innocent amusement. I remember, when I was a ho;\· at college-and that was not yesterday-I used to go to Dnddingston Loch on Saturday after noon in winter, and ther0 I saw a reverend and ing. 1\Iy great ancestor Guthrie, one of those who Wf'rc martyrs in the old clays for Scotland's rig·ht Rnd truth, was one of the first curlers in the county of A;vr. He was a first-rate fisher (but I could try him at that). He was n famous fox-bnntt"r (I have RECREA'l'to:N NECESSAin'. 21 more respect for my neck than to try that). All my life I have had a great liking for amusement. I ~3:ve no patience with that sickly, distempered religion that frowns upon innocent recreation. In that gospel which I have the honor to preach, I find nothing forbidding such amusement. I maintain and though .all the bigots in the world were here I would maintain it-that there is nothing in the glori ous gospel antagonistic to human nature. Amuse ment is not corruption. Every creature has its love of amusement." DAYS ON THE ICE. SOME GRAND CURLING MATCHES. I belong to a parish that has produced some grand curlers. Fifty years ago Carmunnock cot.-ld beat any parish within a radius of ten miles of it, and evf'n yet there are very few parishes in Scotland that can lower its colours so far as· curling is concerned. I had a love of the game &ince I was able to walk np to the Muir Loch, the scene of many a hard fought, splendidly-played match, and I used to run c~rrands to Carrnnnnock-a distance of fully a mile from the loch-for our schoolmaster, Mr. George Hunter, who was a most entln,:siastic curler. Never will I _forget the year his rink ,von the medal. Mr. Hunter was the member who was given custody of it for the year, and his face fairly beamed as he passed it from hand to hand round the school. V\T e did not g-et many· 'palmies ' that day, I can assure you. ·we wished he could win it every year, it put him in such good 'humour. I have won it since that myself three several ~ime&', and I can understand his feel ings now. 22 ONTARiO CURLING ANNUAL. Well, lung before I was able to throw up a stone I knew every point of the game, and many a time I have smiled to myself at a city-bred curler giving a wrong ' direction.' Good ' direction ' is one of thti main points in curling, and Carmunnock ct.·rlers are second to no curlers I have eyer seen in 'directing.' "\iVell do I remember my first game. Seven mem bers of the firm of ,vellpark Brewery drove up to t!Je Muir Loch one Saturday about nineteen years ago. They were one player short of completing two rin ts. Thf' coachman was asked to take a hand, hut he shook his head. One of the gentlemen fixed his eyes on me (I was about fifteen years of age at the tinw, and I was not big for my age). 'vVould you like to try a game?' he asked me. ' There's naething I wad like better,' I made reply. ' Can you throw up the stones? ' ' I think I can.' ',ven, here is one; let me see you try.' I took hold of the handle, and slid the stone over to the cramp, set m;vf;,elf. a'.nd let fly. My nervf's were strung to the hi.ghPst tension with jor, and that stone fairly roared as it sped down the rink, and it did not stop until it went the length of two rinks, and onl,v after it had ,come in contact with the em bankment. ' By Jove! ' the gentleman said to his companions, 'we'll have to take a lesson from the boy. That shows you what oatmeal can do.' Well, I was placed next the skip on the side I was' on-that is, I played the third pair of stones---a Yery responsible place it is too, and I gave these brewers a bit of a surprise. I was the best player amongst them, and as for directing, I knew more than the seven put together. If they are alive now DAYS ON TIIE ICE. l am sure they will talk about ' the boy ' yet, for l was flattered and praised by both sides. "\Veil, sir, after that I rose rapidly as a curler, and the year following I was ' fore hand ' in the farmers' rack ' (rink) and took part in all the big matches, and was allowed to be one of the best ' fore hand ' players in the club. One year we curled for six weeks. I think it was in 1879. I remember of hearing six o'clock striking on Castlemilk clock one morning, and we played a ' head ' after that. That year (it was either 1878 or '79) we played Pollokshaws, Bridgeton, Oam buslang, Eaglesham, Hairmyres, Rutherglen (twice), and came off victorious against every parish but Eaglesham. It was a triumphal procession with that one exception, and though defeated that once we were not disgraced, for. we only lost by a few shots. Hutherglen has beat Carmunnock only once during the last twenty years. A strange thing in connection with owr games against Rutherglen was that I, on almost every occasion, had. the misfortune, or good fortune, to be drawn against the ' ministers' rink.' Rutherglen has two parish ministers, the Rev. Mr. Brownlie and the Rev. Mr-. Stevenson. Very keen curlers they are, and they both played in the sam~ rink. l\Ir. Stevenson played the ' fore hand ' or first pair of stones, and Mr. Brownlie was skip, playing the fourth pair, and they play in the same posit:ons Pven yet at this da-y-at least they did so before I came down here. Well, I beat them every time I met them, except on two occasions, and t\:velve years ago they were not easily beaten. Both are fine players indeed, and the best beating ever I got at ' fore hand ' play was from Mr. Stevenson. He and I played the first pair of stones ag;ainst each other that day, and I don't suppose mine counted before his six times dnring the whole day's play. I thought at that time that ministers ·were of no use outside of the pulpit, and that they 2-± ONTARIO CURLING ANNUAL. could not know much about curling, ln1't I was gl'iev ously mistaken. There is one match that takes place in Carmunnock every year that dv;rarfs all other matches, and that is the match between the married men and the single. No match causes so much excite ment in the little village as this one. E-.,.erybody takes a side, but the supporters of the benedicts far out number those of the bachelors, and a curious feature of this match is that on every occasion the single men lead at the commencement, and on every occa sion the married men win. The wives of the mar ried men are as keen for them to win as the mar ried men themselves. ' N oo see an' gie thae yisless characters anither drubbin', or ye'll get nae st.'pper when ye come hame.' Another ,Yill admonish her gudeman thusly-' Noo, ye'se no tak' a drap o' drink till it's ower, mind, an' gin ye dress their droddums l'se gie ye a gude dram when ye come hame, Tam mas.' And the lassies are just as anxious for the married men to win as their wiYes are. When the de feated and downcast bachelors come home at night, the lasses stand in single file in two rows, up the middle of which the bachies have to pass, and come in for a lot of 'jaw.' ' Ye've catch't it the day again, ye thowless craters, ye!' 'Gin ye ,Yant to be on the winning side neist year, ye'll hae to tak' a wife, Jock! '-and so on the bachies go amid a running· fire of raillery; and the wives do not spare them,· but pile on the agony. They stand at their doors with a six-inch sarcastic smile on their physogs, and greet the bachies with ' Lickit again, na !' ' ,vhen are ye gaun to win, ava? ' ' Pay the beef and greens, and look pleasant!' And v,·hen the mar ried nien make their appearance on the scene th·e cheering is something tremendor:s. The lasses wave· their hankies and slap them on the back, the wee callans fire off squibs bocht wi' pennies given . them by their mothers to do honour to the occasion and - DAYS ON THE ICE. 25 celebrate the victory, and the victorious married men go round to the inn and eat with much gusto the • beef and greens' supper that the poor bachies have to pay for. 'l'he benedicts are uncommonly jocular, and they look across the table and remark pleasantly-While about to hide a lump of beef-' Thae's gran' beef an' green's ye gie s.' Then the man-ied men bun:,t into a roar of hearty laughter, in which the discomfited bachies make a praiseworthy but not successful attempt to join, and, the match is played over again, and toast and song and good humour prevail until the company breaks up. A. GEMMELL, Kyles of Bute, in People'S' J011-rnal. CURLING SONG. Life is just a game o' curling, Let us play it strong and brave, As the years are quickly whirling 'Tvi'ixt the cradle and the graYe. Ah! the floor on which ,ve're walking Is a glare of slippery ice; Where temptation, ever stalking; Lures to folly and to vice. To stand upright, never falling, Is a thing we cannot do, And the voice to duty calling, Is regarded but by few. While we fear to take the borrow, And go wandering off the track; Play too &trong, and to our sorrow,. l\iar the game wi' noisy crack. 26 0:NTARib CURLING ANNUAL Whiles we're guilty of short-corning And the hog-score fail to cross; Next we through all ice go humming, Making for Oh'r side a loss.

The Secretary of the Lindsay Club contributes the following:- A very amusing thing happened in our Rink com petition last year. Three Rinks, viz., Flavelle's, Harstone's, and J\'IcLennan's tied for second prize, C'ach with 17 wins and 6 lossei;,. In playing off, Har stone beat Flavelle, Flavelle beat McLennan, and McLennan beat Harstone; to break the tie we de eided to play again, and again Harstone beat Fla velle, Flavelle beat McLennan, and McLennan beat Harstone. The match committee ordered them to play once more, but soft weather setting in pre vented a solution of the 'difficult problem. CilAN:D MATCH OF 'i'HE R. C. C. CLUB. 27 THE GRAND MATCH OF THE ROYAL CALEDON IAN CURLING CLUB. About, or a little more than one hundred years ago, the Duddingston Curling Society which was at that time the leading curling _club of Scotland, (there was no Royal Caledonian then, or for many years after wards) adopted as its motto, a Latin phrase, which may be freely rendered. " See happy Scotchmen at their winter play, No other people half so blest as they!" i but since that time, Canada has been discovered to be the envied possessor of the finest climate for curl ing in the world, and to be the people best entitled to the mo,tto of the old Dmldingston Curling Society; Every winter, for a term of from three to four months, they enjoy a temperature jt.·st about ' right ' for the game, and they take the full benefit of . it, curling in their covered sheds, morning, afternooni, - and evening, day after day, and they can make ap pointments fo1.• matches, weeks a-head, 1vith very little fear of the weather proving unfavorable. But when it comes to be a match on a magnificent scalei. they are " not in it " with the curlers of Scotland, when the elements permit them, as they did last year, to carry out their Grand Match of North against South of Scotland. In the main contest 223 rinks were engaged on behalf of each division of the country, and 8 surplus rinks of the southern section, who had no opponents from the north. were put into a side contest for a separate prize. There were thus altogether 2,016 players engaged on the occasion, and all upon the one sh.~et of ice, on Carsebreck Pond, and it must have been an inspiring ~ight. In our enclosed sheds it is thrilling to see from 32 to 48 curlers, frantically excited in the delirious enthusiasm of an important and closely contested match. the 28 ONTARIO CURLING ANNUAL, multitudinous waving of countless brooms, some ,-plieil on the ice to accelerate the progress of a laggmg stone, others waved high in the air, in triumph over a successful feat in playing, or the fortunate issue of a dot,btful end; the rapid movements of the players, the intense interest in the game depicted on every face, the continuouf. booming as the stones move along the groaning ice, the careful directions of the skips, and their hurried and desperate shouts of command "Soop her up!" "soop," "soop," " Don't let her hog!'.' and the well-satisfied eye-glances of theni all, when, by the rapid play· of many brooms in willing and energetic hands, -ijl.e doubtful stone ha~ been coaxed over the hog score, and rests just· where it is wanted; but when the field and the players are mt'iltiplied forty or fifty times, and all withjn sight at once, verbal description fails entirely, and imagination alone can produce anything like a realistic picture of the scene, and thus we· willingly divide with old. Scotland the possession of the feli citous motto orf the Duddingston Curling Society. " See happy curlers at their winter play, No otller mortal-, half so blest as they!" But, all the same-, while congratulating our kins men over the_ sea, upon an occasional glorious aay, we are well ~~ontented with the happy conditions for the grand o.Jd game which we enjoy in the land of the Maple Leaf. CURLING SONG. Oh! loose me on the curling game! The wicking, drawing, guarding game, The driving, chipping, roaring game, The kittle game of curling. CURLING SONGS. When winter robes the world in white, And early fails the glad day-light, How should we spend the long fore-night, If 'twere not for the curling? Had I the skill to paint, in verse, With words poetic, clear and terse, 'Twoul'd take me reons to rehearse The glories of the curling. V\Then c1.·rlers meet around the Tee, There's nothing heard but jokes and glee, S'trifes and contention&' all go flee, When honest men go curling. vVho can describe the frequent plan, The keen desire of every man, To do the very best he can, And win the fame of curling. To draw the shot, to lay a guard, To have a clm,ter ·stoutly jarred, Or dangerous port securely barre·d, Oh, that's the game of curling. And if a stone be lagging. sore, In doubt to pass the dread Hog Score, The supple besoms bring it o'er, In ·the friendly game of curling. And when the hard-fought game is done, It matters· naught which side has won, For all alike have had their f1.:n, In the social game of curling. Then, Jet us, the Dominion o'er, From Halifax to Labrador, And onwards to the western shore, Extend the game of curling. ~Anon. · 30 ONTARIO CURLING ANNUAL. IN MEMORIAM. GEO. H. GILLESPIE, OF HAMILTON THISTLE CLUB, In the decease of Mr. Gillespie, one of the most respected of the fathers of the game of Curling in Ontario has passed away. He was a native of Scotland, being born -011 10th August, 1827, at Biggar, in the Upper Ward of Lan arkshire. Arriving in Canada in 1844, he made his abode in Toronto for about a year, then went to 1\Iontreal, where he remained about six years, re moving thence to Hamilton, where he resided until his death in 1900. For about fifteen years Mr. Gillespie was actively engaged in wholesale business. in Hamilton, but re tired from it and devoted himself to insurance and finance, ultimately becoming President of the Ham ilton Provident and Loan Company, and continued in that position, with much satisfaction to the director ate, as well as the clientele of the company until his death. Coming from a strong curling district, and of a keen curling family, Mr. Gille:;,pie was an enthusiastic ct.·rler, and a leading member of the Ontario Curl ing Club, and of the Hamilton Thistle Club, which superseded the united Ontario and Burlington C'lubs of Hamilton in 1871-72. Possessed of a sound judgment, and eminently re sourceful, he was a most capable skip, as well ai,; a skilful player, and contributed largely to the high reputation of the Hamilton Thistle Club. But above these qualities, he was distinguished for his graciot:s, gentlemanly conduct on the ice, which endeared him to all those with whom he came in contact; however keen and trying the contest may have been, he pre served throug-hout the same kindly bearing, and he ;md his opponents always parted friends. IN MEMORIAN. 31 Mr. Gillespie was the third in the honored list of the Presidents of the Ontario Curling Association and wa:,; held in universal respect by its members'. as well as by the curlers of the Province of Quebec; and he rendered a signal service to the Association in connexion with the withdrawal of the Ontario Clubs from the Canadian Branch of the R. C. C. 0., of which service the now famous Ontario Tankard is a lasting memorial. Requiescat in pace. THE HoN, A. M. Ross OF THE TORONTO CLUB. Colin Ross, the father of the late A. M. Ross, came from Scotland to Goderich in 1833, when the sub• ject of our sketch was six years old, so that while actually a native of Dundee, Scotland, he was in his education and up-bringing altogether Canadian. After leaving school he learned the trade of cabinet-making, but soon forsook that for the more congenial occu pation of finance, first as assistant in the local branch of the Bank of Upper Canada, then as paymaster of the Buffalo and Lake Huron Railway, Local Man ager of the Royal Canadian Bank, and later of the local branch of the Canadian Bank of Commerce. In 1858 he became Treasurer of the County of Huron, which office he held until 1883, when he was appointed Treasurer of Ontario, resigning thi:;; posi• tion in 1890, to acc~pt that of Clerk of the County Court of York, which he held until his death in Sep tember, lDOO. Mr. Ross was a public-spirited citizen. In 1861-2, CONSTITUTION. (ADOPTED 17TH OCTOBER, 1893. 1. This Association shall be known by the title of ~'mn ONTARIO CuRLING AssocrATIO:N. 2.

RULES OF THE GAME. 1. The standard length of the Rink for play shall be 42 yards from Hack to Tee. If the ice is found to be wet or soft before a game commences, or after it has been begun, the Umpire, after hearing the skips of both parties in the match, shall decide whether the rink shall be shortened, and to what extent; but in no case shall it be shortened to less than 33 yards. 2. No important match shall be commenced if the ice be not in a condition to fairly test the curling skill of the players, and it shall be stopped whenever the state of the ice becomes such as not to afford such a test, or darkness sets in preventing the stones in the Ring from being distinctly seen from the further Hack. In all cases of stopped matches the renewed game shall be commenced de novo. 3. The Tees to be made 38 yards apart, and around each as a centre shall be described a circle of seven feet radius, which shall be called the "Ring." To facilitate measurements, inner circles may be de scribed around the Tee. Every stone within, or rest ing upon the outer ring, shall be counted in the game; no stone shall be considered outside a cilrcle, unless it is. entirely clear of that circle, nor shall a stone be held to be over a line unless it has crossed and entirely cleared it; this may be decided by a square placed upon the ice. BY-LAWS, ETC., RULES OF THE GAME. 41 4. From, and in exact alignment with both Tt~cs, a line, called the CENTRAL LINE, shall be drawn to a point four yards behind each Tee; at this point a line shall be drawn, at a right angle to the Central Line, on which the Hack shall be cut. The Hack shall not exceed eight inches in length, nor shall the inner edge thereof. be more than three inches from the Central Line, so that all stones shall be delivered tipon the Central Line. 5. Other lines, called the HoG LINE, the SWEEPING LINE and BACK LINE, shall also be drawn on the ice at right angles to the Central Line. The HoG LINE shall be drawn at a distance from each Tee of one sixth of the length from Hack to further Tee; and if a· played stone fails to pass this line, it shall be counted a Hog, and removed from the ice, unless it has been prevented from passing by striking another played stone resting inside said Hog Line. The SWEEPING LINE shall be drawn across the Tees, for the guidance of the Skips in sweeping. The BACK LINE shall be drawn just outside and behind the Ring; all stones having passed this line must be removed from the ice, and played stones resting within an adjoining Rink shall be removed from the ice.

The Secretary then read Report of the competi tions for the Ontario Tankard for 1900. S'ee page 73. It was mo·ved by Mr. Doo-little, seconded by Mr. Carlyle, that the report as read be received, and that it be adopted, and it was carried. The Secretary then read the Report o.f the Dis trict Club Competitioni;,:, as follows, viz. See page 81. ~1r. Flavelle moved, seconded by Mr. CoUins, that the Report as read· be received and adopted, and it was carried. The Secretary then read Report of the competi tion for the Governor-General's prize. See page 83: Mr. Edwards moved, seconded by Mr.· Matthews, that the report as read be received and adopted, and it was carried. The Secretary then read Report of the- General Competition at the Points' Game. See page 85. Mr. Collins moved that the Report as read be re~ ceived and adopted, which was seconded by Mr. Bain, and carried. T.he Secretary then read the General Report of the Executive Committee as follows, viz.: The On tario Curling Association pursues the even tenor of hs way; during the year two clubs have been added to· the Roll, viz., Minto Club of Milton, Ont., and Grand Rapids Club of Grand Rapids, Mich., U.S.A. 58 ONTARIO CURLING ANNUAL. 1.rwo clubs have died off, ,iz., Ancaster and vVau baushene, and two clubs have given notice of their intended withdrawal, yiz., St. Catharines and Buf falo Caledonian. There are other four in tempor ary difficulty, yiz., J?enelon Falls, Goderich, J'\Iea ford and Port Hope; with these exceptions, all the clubs in the Associatipn are in excellent condition, and enthusiastic in the game. One of our older clubs, presently under a cloud, through the loss of its rink, makes a proposition which we think deserving of fa,ourable considera tion; some of the members offer to pay the annual club rate so as to maintain connexion with the As sociation, in the hope of again having a rink, -and in the meantime relinquishing all right to participate in Association matches, and to representation. '.rhe important competitions of the Association have all been carried out, and under most favorable· con ditions, having had our usual good fortune in regard to Yveather; and as vdll be seen by referring to the special repo·rts, the competitions have been more generally engaged in than usual. ,v e think the competition for the Governor-Gen eral's prize is no•\V on a satisfactory basis; the show ing made in the final contests for this prize by the runners-up in the Tankard Primaries, and the ,vin ners and runners-up in the District Cup Competi tions was very creditable, and indicates a high state of proficiency in the game among those clubs; and we lmve reason to believe that His Excellency, who requires an elaborate report of the competition, ii.• well pleased to. know that his desire to promote tlle game is being abundantly realised in this contest. The high score made by the winner of the Gen eral Competition at the Points' Game is an enviable one, and has been excelled in only a few instances. l\lr. Miller of the Lindsay Club may well feel proud over his exceptionally good score, and the Lindsay Club cannot but be gratified with the result of the APR-1L MEETING. 5!J systematic cultivation of this important form of the game. We beg to acknowledge our eyer deepening obli gation to the Committee on the Annual, who have in their last Yolume outstripped all their former ef forts, in giving us an improved and "up-to-date" dia gram of the rink, and a new and admirable arrange meri.t of the diagrams illustrati.ve of the Points' Game, many interesting papers connected with the game in Canada and elsewhere, good songs, good stories, an enlarged booklet, and a balance on the rig.ht side of the account. "'\Ve riotice also with Bat isfaction that the repeated calls made by the Com mittee for a more general return of Club Records are beginning to have a fairly generous response. We strongly recommend every club to preserve a carefully compiled record of its· games, and to have it published every year in the Annual of the .f~.ssociation. The financial condition of the Association remains unimpaired; even after providing other two magnI ficent District Cups, and carrying on all the opera tions of the Association we have a balance on the right side of the account, with an ever increasing amount of assets, and we may fairly be congratu lated upon the efficiency and economy with which our affairs are conducted. We regret to have to report that the railway officials on 1st January last withdrew the special rate of two cents per mile to parties of not less than eight persons travelling together in a bod,v, ,Yhich was at first granted to curlers only, after years or negotiation, and afterwards extended to the general public. Your committee took action in the matter by writing to the railway companies remonstrating against the change, claiming that it was a breach of the agreement made between the railways and the Curling Association, who, in fulfilling their part of the agreement, insist that all club matches be played with not less than eight players a side. That 60 ,1NTARIO CURLING ANNUAL. it would disarrange all our plans for the season's matches, and lead to a diminution of travel by cur lers, which should rather be encouraged, as· it was made at a season of the year when ordinary travel was at its lowest stage. 'l'he reply was that the new rates had been made by agreement between the two railway companies and could not be departed from. We secured the co-operation of the Montreal Branch of the R. Q. C. C., by whom a number of railway magnates· living in :Montreal were interviewed on behalf of the restor ation of the former curlers' rate, also the Rideau Club at Ottawa, and others, but all efforts were futile. vVe are not without hope that by next sea son, some modification of the new rate may be secured for curlers, and at all events our best efforts will be directed towards that object, as we are con vinced that the reduced rate to eight persons will yield a larger return to the railways than when the req.uction is limited to parties of ten; and we have been informed by several clubs that on account of the change, they have decided to discontinue, for the present all matches which involve travel by railway. We have much pleasure in reporting, that the ir regularity of parties claiming to be members regular, and even skips in more than one club, has com pletely disappeared. But we regret that many clubs are too apt to neglect to report and register the name.s of new members who join them during the curling season, unless they wish to use them in some im portant match, for which only members of the As sociation are eligible; the neglect to register these new club members as members of the Association is inexcusable; it is not fair to such new members nor is it fair to the other clubs in the Association,' and we are hopeful that we will not have occasion to refer to the matter again, or to deal with those clubs who seem to make a practice of returning only the names of a portion of their members.

Mr. Collins moved, seconded by Mr. Rogers, th-at the reports of the Standing Committees now read be received, and adopted; and it was carried. Mr. Collins read a clause of a letter from the Secretary to the Dundas Club, and claimed that it reflected upon him as the Representative of the D1:i.n das Olub, failing to do his duty as such Represen tative, and demanding a retraction. T:he Secretary read the whole letter and claimed that it could not be construed as a reflection upon l\Ir. Collins, and declined to retract a charge he had never made. Mr. Collins then asked the Secretary to write a letter to the Dundas Club, assuring that club that their representatiYe, 1\lr. Collins, had strongly urged the request of Dundas Club at the meeting in Oc tober last, and the Secretary promised to comply with the request. 1\fr. Mulholland spoke at some length in regard 9! tb,e Notice of Protest by Parkdale Chib against APRIL MEETING. G3 the decision o.f the ·umpire at the final competition for the Ontario Tankard in February last. The chairman informed him that such matters come un der the jurisdiction of the Uommittee on Complaints and Appeals; and directed him to forward a statement of particulars of the case to that committee, as pre scribed in the By-laws of the Association, which he promised to have done. It was then moved by Mr. Flavelle, and seconded by Mr. Doolittle: That the complaint of Parkdale Club re alleged unfair treatment at the hands of the umpire in competition for Ontario Tankard and Governor-General's prize, be referred to the Com mittee on Complaints and Appeals; committee to report at October meeting; and it was carried. It was then moved by Mr. Carlyle, and seconded by Mr. ]'lavelle: That in view of the representations made by the Port Hope Curling Club, they are hereby granted the privilege of retaining their membership in the Association on the payment of the annual club rate, and that the members' rate be remitted until they are in a position to rebuild their curling rink, which was destroyed by fire, and that they relin quish the right to take part in Association matches, and to representation, until they resume regula'i" 1ilembership in the Association; and it was carried. 1\Ir. Flavelle gave notice that at the October meeting he will move: That in section 4 of Rules of the Game, in page 45 of Annual for 1900, the words "and before the pla.yer removes his foot from the Hack" be expunged. Mr. Cameron gave notice that at the meeting in October next, he will move: That clause 3 of the Regulations governing the Ontario Tankard Competi tion be amended, by adding thereto, "In the final competition all games shal be played on neutral ice." The President then presented the Banner of· the Ontario Tankard to Mr. Dalton, ,vho made a suit• ~ble repl! on behl:)-lf of the ToroH-to Graµite Cl{!.b; 64 ONTARIO CURLING ANNUAL. also the President's gold medal to the skips of the winning rinks, viz., 0. 0. Dalton and Geo. H. Good erham, and six souvenirs from the Association to the other members of the winning rinks, all of which were duly acknowledged by Mr. Dalton. Vice-President Dalton then pre~nted his gold medals to th~_skips of the last competing club, Rober.: Reid and J. M. Burnett of the London li"'orest C'ity Club, and six souvenirs to the other six members of the two rinks, whic'h were received by Mr. Mat tinson and gracefully ackowledged. At this stage of the proceedings the Honorary President of the Association, His Honor Sir Oliver Mowat, entered the meeting, coming as the repre sentative of our patron to present the Governor General's prize to the successful winner, the Orillia Club. Sir Oliver said that the Governor-General, not being able to be present, had requested him to make the presentation of his prize. The Governo,r-General is a keen curler, and loves the game, which I believe is a very exhiliarating one, tending to invigorate both body and mind, and although it has been popular in Scotland for three or four hundred years it is not exclushely a Scottish game. I am not a curler my self, he continued, but I ,Yish ·I was; I have no doubt I should have been a stronger and better man, and might have looked forward to be as old as my grand father, who lived to be 98 years of age, or as a, rela tive in Scotland who died at the age of 102, or of still another relative who was 115 when he passed away. See, he said, what a glorious prospect was before me, had I taken proper means to strengthen my body by curling; he said he was greatly pleased to be present at the curlers' meeting, and congratu lated Orillia Club on their succcess in 1Yinn'ng the Governor-General's cup for 1900. He then presented the handsome cup to Mr. Doolittle, the representative of the Orillia 01ub, who made a very pleasant reply. APRIL MEETING. U5 The Secretary-Treasurer then presented to Mr. Doolittle for the winning skips, gold mounted ininia ture curling stone watch-chain charms, as a souvenir of their skilful play, and success in wiun'ng the Governor-General's prize, and expressed the hope that some memento of their success would be pro vided for the other players in connection with this match, shortly. The District Cups were then presented to the win ning clubs, viz., No. 1 to Scarboro' Maple Leaf Club, accepted by Mr. H. Thom$on; No. 2, to Campbellford Club, represented by Mr. Sm:th; No. 3, to Fore~t Club, to be forwarded, in the absence of Mr. Petty piece, from the effect of an accident; and No. 4 to Waterloo Club, and accepted by Mr. Haight. All. these gentlemen expressed their belief that the Dis trict Cup competitions have stin1ulated the game in their several districts; that their clubs would use every proper endeavor to again win the cups next year, and they were also convinced that a good many other club~ would make vigorous efforts to secpr~ the possession of the splendid cups which would grace their club rooms for the next twelve month~, nnd that in this way the grand old game would be ad vanced, and the friendship and goodwill which ac company the friendly strife on the level ice be largely promoted. The President next presented the gold medal, the prize of the general competition at the Points' Game, ,Yon by Mr. Miller, of Lindsay, to Mr. Flavelle, to be conveyed to that gentleman. In accepting the commission, 1\1:r. Flavelle spoke very strongly in favor of this form of the game, aL'd of its utili'. Y in in creasing the skill of those who practise it diligently, instancing the case of Mr. Dunbar of vVinn1pl'g, "probably the best individual player in Canada,'.' who had attained his great skill by incessant pract1cP of the Points' Game. 5c 6G ONTARIO CURLING ANNUAL.

Mr. Matthews moved, seconded by Mr. Uorcoran, that the Granite Club of Parry Sound be recei,ed into the Association; and it Trns carried. , The Secretary then read Report of ExecntiYe Committee, which, after being amended, was adooJed, on motion of Mr. Flavelle, seconded by Mr. Eakins, as follows: Your Committee appealed to the railway com panies to restore the rate of travel granted by th?m to the Association in 1885, which they believed was reasonable and satisfactory to all parties, until it "\Yao, withdrawn on 1st .January last. "\Ve are convinced that its withdra ,val is neither in the interest of the railways nor of curling. vVe haYe not su('ceeded in obtaining any conces sion from the terms offered to ordinary travelle1s by the railways, who seem to discriminate against curlers and curling by offedng to sportsmen go;ng fishing or hunting in parties of five persons a rate which they refuse to give to sportsmen going curlin~g, unless the party consists of not less than tEn per sons. "\Ye think such invidious discrimination is alto gether improper, especially when made by corpora tions holding public charters. "\Ye are still prose cuting our claim, which ,Ye believe to be found. d in justic0, and to be conducive t6 the increase of railway travel, at the slackest season of the year, as well as promotiye of the aim of the As::,ociation. In the meantime, we have arranged our principal matches. so that they will not necessitate a large auwunt of travel by rail; and we are not without 110pe that our former arrangement, which provell tlatisfactory for the long period of fourteen years, will be restored, and we recommend that a copy of this report be sent to the railway companies. In regard to the offer made by Mr. Bain on be half of the Toronto Club, to furnish ice for a com petition at the Points' Game about the time of the OCTOBER MEETING . (j!) .Ifinal Competition for the Ontario Tankard, _your Committee are of opinion that it could not be carried out at the time indicated with any hope of success, 0wing to the excitement connected with the Tankard matches, and the demands now rnude upon all con venient sheets of ice at that time in carrying out competitions already estabfohed .. The meeting then proceeded to the election of office Bea,rers, and on the motion of Mr. D.1lton, seconded by Mr. Mulholland, Hi&' Excellency the Earl of Minto was elected Patron.

He extended a hearty welcome to Mr. Wm. Miller of Gr_and Rapids, Mich., U.S.A., who was present as representative from his club. Mr. Miller in re sponding referred to the progress of the game or curling in the city of his home, and expressed his pleasure at meeting the Ontario Curling Hepresen tat;ves in convention.

COMPETITIONS.· THE ONTARIO SILVER TANKARD. THE PRIMARIES, The drawing of the several group clubs by the Executive Committee, and its publication in the Annual of the Association has been accepted as a ,vise arrangement, and has facilitated the playing off of the group contests to a considerable extent. Several of the matches in the fir:st and second rounds, were played off by the clubs concerned, a;; time and place chosen by · mutual agreement, and we have heard Qf only one instance in which a club was denied the privilege of playing off the first match at a place more convenient than the general place of playing for that group; we think that had an appeal been made to the President of the Associa tion, as the Regulations direct, it would have been sustained, and the regrettable defaulting of· a promi nent club would have been averted. In another gro11p, through the defaulting of several clubs, a club became entitled to the championship without playing a game; but vrn have been assured that a lively con test will be made in that group next season. In the eight groups the number of matches played was thirty-nine, an avernge of 4% in each group, 1Yhich is somewhat better than last year, and mnch ahead of previous years.

On the close of the- game, the large gathering of play.ers and spectators adjourned to the Granite's Club Rooms, completely filling the reading and dining rooms, and in the -absence of ~fr.' Dexter, !.'resident, Mr. Dalton, Yice-Pre&ident of the Association, was voted into the chair, and the Umpire produced the venerable and much-prized tankard, and reported the result of the competition. The chairman then pre sented the trophy to Mr. ·w. A. Littlejohn, President of the Granite Curling Club, expressing his pleasure at the absence of any friction during the contest, and the great friendliness displayed by all the partici pants; he praised the ice on which the closing game was played, as the best he had ever curled on. Mr. Littlejohn replied, saying that he was overjoyed at the success of the Granite Club in the year in which he was honored by being Pre&ident, he hoped that this success would show that the Granite Curling Club, although waxing old in years, had not lost its skill or endurance, but was just as capable as it ever was. He attributed much of the &uccess of the club in this and many previous contests, to the excellent play and untiring zeal of Mr. Dalton, and complimented him and the club on the numerous young members of the club, 11·ho were giving promise of continuing, if not surpassing the successes of such veterans as Mr, Dal· top and others of pa st. years, ~»~~~\~~~~~~~ '~~~~"\.-~~\~'.,~ ,"S~~ ~ ,~ ~l\'"'1!\'"'1i\'"'1i\'"'1i\'" '7i\'"'1i\'"-ll~ -1,~ ,,,~ ,,,~ ,,,~,,,~~At"~. ~ ~✓,~ ~~,, I~ ~I1 ~'t--~·~ HONOR ROLL ~-~"· ✓' ~~ ~~ 11 i:~~'~ ONTARIO SllV[R [ TA 1rn· VARD , ;c~~ •~:, ~i~ ~~,;,~ ~~ , ~ ======~- ~ ~~-----~-·---~--~,~ WINNING CLUB.

The number of clubs which took part in these competitions was nearly one half greater than in the preceding year, and the contests ·were much more interesting. ,v-e were pleased to observe that one of the winners in 1899, stepped up to the Tankard Uom petition in HJOO, and took a good position in both the Primary and Final contests. -\Yith the Four District Uups, the Province is fairly well covered, and all clubs in the Association ara given an opportunity of competing for an Association prize with clubs of like standing, and at reasonable expense. Should another cup ba put up as a IJ'Hth District Cu11, to be competed for l>y clubs having a membership of not less than fifty, and restricted to such membPrs of tho,,e clubs a,; have never taken part for any club in the Ontario Tankard competitions, either Primary or ]'inal, it may be said that every member of the Association has a fair chance of com peting for an Association Prize; and it offers an inducement to clubs to increase their rnembel'ship and introduce fresh blood, in,ctead of resting content ,vith tT\·o good rinks for the Tankard, and other two for ordinary club matches. There are eight club:s at present in the Association having over fifty mem bers, nnd the number could be easilv doubled were a fitting inducement offered. · · In this competition also, the publication of the drawing in the Annual facilitated the mat~h.es, and was generally approved. 6c 82 ONTARIO CURLING ANNUAL.

The drawing for this honorable prize was made on the evening of the 14th February, and, as had be1m dt.ly intimated to all the clubs eligible to take part in it, it was restricted to those clubs which were representEd as being present, and prepared to play. All of the win1.1ers, and runners up in the Tankard Primaries were present except Galt Club, ·which withdrew on being defeated in the first rounil. of the Tankard Finals; and Hamilton Thistle, and Parkdale Ch,:bs, which were expected, but did not put in ap pearance. Of the thirteen clubs from the Tankard Primaries entitled to enter this competition, ten actually took part in it; and of the eight clubs from the District Uup Comp2titions, four were absent, viz., Ulintou, Uampbellford, Bobcaygeon, and Ayr ._n'on. The playing was good, and the matches well contested; of the thirteen played, three were won by 8 shots Each, two by 5 f'>hots, and one each by 4, 6, 7, and !J. The other four were not so close, being won by 11, 17, 21, and 22 shots respectively; two of the clubs, both of them belonging to the District Cub Competitions, were late in reaching the ice, the number of ends to be played was reduced agreeably to the Regulatiom·, and as both clubs were defeated in the play, there · was no change made in regard to the winning, by the time allowance, in either case; two of the District Unp Clubs survived to the second round, and one to the third round. The extension of the right to take part in this con test, to those clubs which .have won first or second place in the Tankard Primarieic, or the District Cup Uompetitions of the year, has been received wit11 hearty approval, and the :firf'.t year's experience of the plan ,ms extremely satisfactory.

GENERAL COMPETITION AT THE POINTS' GAME For this interesting competition, we are pleased to be able to report that five clubs have sent in returns this season, which is a somewhat larger number than usual, but altogether too few for such a body as the Ontario Curling Association.

It is very desirable that the returns be made on the score cards printed by the Association, so that the score made at each of the several points may be reported separately; and that a very much greater number of clubs should engage in the competition. lt is the: only means of comparing the relative pro ficiency, in all the e~sentials of the game, between curlers who dwell too far apart to admit of their meeting in the ordinary match game, and it deserves to be systematically practised in every club.

OCTOBER-The meeting of the Representati-ves of the Clubs forming the Ontario Curling Asso cLl tion, for the purpose of organizing for the ensuing season, is held on the Third Tuesday of this month. It is most desirable that all clubs meet on an early day of this month, and appoint Representatives to the general meeting, and discuss matters af fecting the Club,· and the Association. Lists of office Oearers and members of dnbs, along with club records for past season, should all ·be s0nt· in to the General Secretary before the last day of this month. NOVEMBER-During the early part of this month, covered rinks should be examined, and every thing put in order. Clubs which have all things prepared, usually have a few days curling in this month. DECEMBER-Towards the end of this month the arrival of the curling season may be looked for, and matches of President against Vice-President are usually played. JANUARY--With this month the real business of the season begins. 'l'he Primaries for the On tario Tankard; the District Cup Competitions; Club matches, etc., are in full swing, anl local Tournaments are being conducted in close sue. • cession to each other. (17H) 180 ONTARiO ct.mi.:i:NG ANNUAL . Jf.liJBRUARY-'l'his is the culminating month of the curlers' year. The great final contests of the various competitions started in January are brought on, and carried through in this month; and as steady, settled weather may generally be depended on, it is well to get all important matches carried out in this month. MARCH-Usually closes the curling season. The heat of the sun affects the ice, and makes it less fitting for the game during the day, but occa sional spells of :fitting weather may still be ex pected and should be sedulously used. APRIL-The meeting of the Representatives of the Association, on the third Tuesday of this month, to wind up the proceedings of the season, :fitly ends the curling season in Ontario. This meeting is always interesting, particularly to those clubs and players who have been the fortu nate winners of any of the numerous prizes pro vided by the Association, and is usually well at tended. The Executive Committee frequently introduce new measures intended to improve the game or to correct evils which haye cropped up during the preceding season, aud we have high authority for the expectation of safety in a multitude of coun sellors. After this month is over, comes the curler's winter when no work can be done. TORiOXTO, CANAD.-\, Strictly first- . 'S · HOTEL class in all, its appointments.
