This defeated St Paurs last chance for
the cup but st. Paul curriers' have every
reason TO congratulate themselves on their
playing. Interest in this game has not
hitherto been at fever heat here. in fact,
but little playing has been done. But in
order to participate IN the bonspiel several
Kinks were made up, half of whom were
green hands. Their playing has demon
strated that there is good material for curl
ers in this city. During the bonspiel two
of the champion Kinks of the country were
defeated by the st. Paul men. and only
when the contest was narrowed down 10
a single game were the local players retired.
The contest will be resumed this morning
at 9 o'clock, between the only two Kinks
remaining in the match, one of which will
carry away the elegant punch bowl for
which they have been playing. The Kinks
