ST. PAUL VICTORIOUS.
SANITY City Curriers' Find q Picnic
OF Extraordinary Pro-
portions.
Flour City Kinks Beaten on the
Ice by Very Creditable
Score.

Some of the more enthusiastic Scotch
men in the st. Paul Curling club-braw
laddies like Judge Cory and Sheriff
Bean-are talking of building tobog-
gan slide from the Wabasha street
bridge to the curling headquarters on
raspberry island. 1t is SAID that the
only men in the club who would object
to such "Wheels-in-your-h head" inno-
walton are ''BilP' Rodger, the Eighth
ward athlete; Duncan Murray, the
Fifth ward wheel horse of the citizens
committee, and possibly Hugh Camp
bell, the broad and tall friend of every
wind that blows, on both sides. but a
little shy i'll the middle.
Anyhow, a creased board,a parachute
or a warranted Groom of Tam O'Shan-
ter's which would lend excitement and
pleasure to descent into the near-and-
yet-so-far haunt of good men who play
grand game i'll good humor and in
scientific fashion. The place is trifle
hard to reach at present, but 1t will be
king of its kind when the grand new
CLUB house OF the members dreams
stands up. even with the floor of the
bridge and an elevator is placed on
duty inside. However. the deep stair
way detracts little from the drawing
powers OF the place, and yesterday
afternoon and evening every one OF the
Gveirlnks were more or less Clipped by
the 'stanes" and polished by the
sbesamS" OF the votarieS of the game
in st. Paul and some from Minneapo-
HS.
!. The afternoon games were entirely of
a social character, and being the first of
the season, the players caVorted around
like lambs in spring time. until as John
II. Ives put 1t. from behind window in
q cosy room, they made almost enough
noise to raise the roof up to the bridge"
Many an Old veteran of the sport took
hand, and novlceS were being coached.
cOaXed and Scolded good naturedly,
while stones hummed, brOoms were
brought into furious action, ports
were drawn, the house was cleared,
the Tee" was covered amid joyful
shouts, and again the stone lying shot"
would get bump in the nose that
would knock it out Of sight. Full bellies
made strong backs, happiness, excite
ment and exercise settled big dinners
to their proper resting place and ire
mendous appetteS were provided
against the tasks of finishing in the
evening the work SO we'll begun at noon.
Curling began in earnest when three
rInKS from Minneapolis were ptted
against three from st. Paul. The con-
tests were sharp and fought with vim
and determination from start to finish.
First the st. Paul score would take
jump, then the Flour city men would
tilt their bonnets bit, grasp their
stones with firmer grip and 5000 Ter
up'' in style that took small heed for
grace or the feelings of their anxious
opponents.
