The scene at the palace grounds was very
animated last evening. On the right a
party of St Paul curriers' were practicing to
the inspiring music of a band. The Cedar

patronized, while in front of the palace the
Indians entertained large crowd with one

A sPOTLEss CHARACTER.
A Splendid Tribute by Ex-President
Hayes.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 1O.-The following
address was delivered to the Loyal Legion
by Commander r. B. Hayes:
Companions and Ladies and Gentlemen:
The third annual festival of the Ohio Com
mandary of the Loyal Legion is suddenly and
sadly changed. meeting which was 10 have

rial service in honor OF the beloved command
er-in-chief of the military order of the Loyal
Legion. In the presence OF many who have
served on most intimate terms with Gen.
Hancock during the long years of service and
trying duty, shall not attempt q full and
adequate statement of his life service and
character. / had not in the army the privil-
ege OF an acquaintance with him that was
either extensive or intimate He was my
commander only during the last few weeks OF
active work of the war. My relations with
him from 1877 TO 1881 were however, in some
interesting matters necessarily close and con-
fidential. When we make up our estimate OF
public man, conspicuous both as a soldier
and in affairs, we are to think first and
chiefly OF
his integrity, his purity, his singlenesB or
purpose and his unselhsh devotion to duty.
We can say truthfully of Hancock that he
was through and through pure gold. His
death is so recent and such g shock TO us all
that i hesitate on this occasion to enter az
large on the facts of his life. During the
many years he has been at the head OF the
military order of the loyal legion, his pres
ence, his prestige, his name have given 10
this soldiers organization we know not how
much of the prosperity, the interest and It's
influence. His commanding figure and rea-
tures-so impressive, inspiring and dtgnincd

of achievements which left nothing for the
most exacting imagination to desire when
seeking for the model American soldier,

record az a soldier is enough for my present.

and these are all organized together as the
Columbia County Curling club. Many of
the Individual members are curriers' of thirty
years experience in their own county. Port

are represented in the present bonspeil by
men who have the most highly valued prizes
in the United States. The Gordon medal,
originally offered by Mr.. Gordon OF New
York, belongs to the National Curling club
of America, and must be won three times
by the same club to become the
of the winner. The only time
Portage City players ever contested for it

There was some disappointment at the
palace grounds yesterday, because the
weather had not proved cold enough to
make good curling ice. Sixteen rinks had
been prepared by the st. Paul curriers', but
only four were in fit condition to play
upon. Eleven were needed and the result
was that the first series of games will not
be completed until noon to-day, which
could otherwise have been finished yester-
day noon. There was one advantage
gained. however. All curriers' had an op-
portunity to see Others play and enioved
the privilege immensely. The st. Paul
curriers' had prepared refreshments for Wis
iting clubs in booth near the Kinks. and
while eating everyone had an opportunity
to inspect the elegant cup for which
they are playing. The cup is an elegant

THE ROARING GAVE.
Some Celebrated Curriers' I'm ST. Paul
--Yesterday,s Contest.


--Yesterday's Contest.
The great curling bonspiel was inaugur-
ated at the palace grounds yesterday. This
is one of the greatest events in the whole
program of carnival sports. 1t is game
requiring good physical development be-
sides much judgment. The curling stones
are given the ''out-turn" and ''in-turn,"
which is equivalent to the English" on
billiard ball; they players also make
carom and drawshots and when it
is understood that the result of
these shots are 164 feet from where the
player stands the fact will be recognized,
even by those knowing absolutely nothing
of the game, that great skill is necessary in
order to be a successful curler. As is well
known it is the national game of Scotland.
and the athletic sons of Caledonia retain an
enthusiasm wherever they go for the great
sport, an enthusiasm appreciated only by
the small minority of men possessed of an
ardOr for pure athletics For this reason
curriers' are nearly all Scotchmen, or sons of
Scotchmen, and some curriers' come
together yesterday in st. Paul, who had de-
livered stones together in Scotland fifteen
years ago as school boys. The game is
played on a strip of ice ID
called a rink" by four ~ -
players on a side, each I/FL>M
team being also called ah'S>>>>>%A
rink" and one of theirA "a
number acting as ''skip" ~
or captain. Each player
has two curling stones, weighing under the
national rules from thirty to fifty pounds.
The stones are about foot across, about
five inches deep, with oval edges, being
much the shape of an oblate spheroid, very
much flattened. The handles are horizontal
and are firmly set in the center. The stones
are cut from any hard stone and differ in
quality according to the material used.
The rink upon which the game is PLAYED
is formed by lines cut in the Ice, as shown
in the diagram, an explanation of which is
as follows:

the same side to drop in front of it for a
''guard." The stones are all delivered from
one end, the points counted and the players
then go to the opposite end and send them
back again. such delivery of all the stones
being technically called an ''end." The
games in this contest consist of twenty-one

in Scotland, although in some matches play
is limited to a certain time. About ten min
utes are consumed in playing an lend" :"
The method of scoring points is perhaps the
blndest of any part of the game to an un-
sophisticated bystander. After the stones
are all delivered the side having the one
nearest the tee has the ''shot.' All the
stones of this side that be nearer
the tee than any stone on the opposing
side count one point each. If one side

C c-The ''toe hole" "

Distances-From tee to

of the tee, and the toe
hole 4 yards behind the
tee. though this distance
is not always the same.

in diameter. the inner
ones being drawn at will,
merely convenience in
measuring from the tee.
AS will be understood
from the above, the stones
are delivered from the
toe hole along the center
line, with the object of
letting them stop as near
as possible in the center
of the circle at the oppO-
site end of the rink.

Nearly everybody in this vicinity chose
yesterday to celebrate as Independence

Sunday, The day has not been go gsner-

when memorable celebration Of the
Centennial Fourth took place. There
never was time since that day when 50
many sky rockets and other fireworks
were used, or so many fire crackers ex-
ploded, Last night the heavens were
lighted in every quarter with red FIRE and

and all over the city ones ears were rent
with yolley alter yollsy OF small explo-
sions resembling the rattle OF musketry

Apparently everybody dropped business
for the day and devoted himself TO having
good time. The banks and public offices
were closed and private business almost
entirelysuspsnded. This Park the Mounds
