There was large crowd Of spectators gathered
around the eastern end OF the large lake at Central
Park yesterday, Witnessing the interesting curling
contest between the players Of the Brooklyn Club
and the St. Andrews, Of this city. The condition
OF the Ice prevented more than two Kinks being
formed for the match, and even then they had to-
change ends before the match was over, owing to
the softening OF the ice. The game was closely con-
testc on both sides, the st. Andrews players hav
ing tough customers to cope with ct rink No. 2
