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 vVe shall refer to this matter more fulfy in onr Report to the April meeting, but as that report will not be published until tl}e issrie of another Annual, we ,vish to state, here, that, if we are entrusted with the compilation of the Annual for next year, we shall take care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. HINTS TO SECRETAldES. Vil 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. Ninth.-).Iany clubs overlook the By-la,Y that their first Representative MUST be a member regular of the club appointing bim. IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBL1<J THAT Il\7 SOME CLOSE DIVISION A NUMBER OF REPRE­ SENTATIVES IMPROPERLY APP0IN'DED, MAY FIND THE."MSELVBS DEBARRED FROM VOTING.

  • Guelph: a People's Heritage
    “Buying a Reid’s Heritage Home” is a long-time Guelph tradition. Since 1978, the Reid’s Heritage Group has expanded that tradition by building homes for thousands of Guelph families, in many of our City’s favourite communities. It all started with Orin Reid building just a few houses in the first year. Today, we are the City’s leading Builder, responsible for building more than one in three new homes constructed in the City of Guelph. From all of us at the Reid’s Heritage Group on this 175 th Birthday, Congratulations & Thank you Guelph. Let’s keep growing together!

  • Slopes of the Speed Final
    Slopes of the Speed Original text by Florence Partridge Digital revision by Guelph Arts Council (2016) Some photos courtesy of Guelph Museums Map by Andy McLennan Begin this tour at the Guelph Youth Music Centre 75 Cardigan Street. There is 2-hour free public parking on the street. This route is approximately 3.5 km and takes about 1.5 hour Drawing by Ida Seto Slopes of Speed 1! Route Map Slopes of Speed 2! GUELPH YOUTH MUSIC CENTRE The Guelph Youth Music Centre is an example of Guelph’s creative re- purposing of buildings. The former structure was the Heritage Seeds warehouse, which had a dramatic post and beam interior construction. In 1981 a search began to house the Suzuki String School, but the focus broadened to encompass a variety of music and arts activities that educate, enrich and foster the development of youth. The enthusiasm surrounding this unique project convinced the City of Guelph to acquire the property in 1995 and, after six years of renovations, mostly by volunteers, the Guelph Youth Music Centre opened in September 2001. The interior of the facility includes a third-floor dance studio (with a sprung floor), a recital hall and adjacent foyer space, meeting rooms and fifteen studio spaces, all of which are used regularly. More than 1,000 children and their families use the Centre on a weekly basis, while an additional 4,000 area residents benefit annually through community concerts.When work was going on to transform the former Heritage Seeds into the music centre, a pigeon’s nest made largely of nails was found on the top of a wall under the roof.
