WINNIPEG, Man, Feb. 15.-Nettle-
toms Draw Iaddies are still victorious
and McCuiloch defeated Sparing i'll a
brilliant game. The bonspiel goes
bravely on and monopoliZes the interest
and attention of every man. woman and
child in Winnipeg. The st. Paul men
are making a grand battle. McCulloch
has lost but one game, that to the in
Vincible Kelly in the Grand Challenge
contest. Nettleton has defeated every
thing he has come against so far. and
his rink is still full of ginger. Fairchild
and Mcmillan, his second and third
players, can't get work enough, and Cory
is fast getting down to fighting
weight. The game last night between
Nettleton and Munson, of Winnipeg, is
given out to the public by all the news
papers as standing IA to Is in favor OF
Nettleton, but sub rosa With our st.
Paul friends the actual score was IA to
0. Nine heads only were played, and
Munson. having failed to score a single
point. offered to give UP the hopeless
contest and thereby secure a longer

games. 1t was mutually agreed to turn
in the score as IA to 13. Quite large
contingency OF Winnipeg curriers' gath
cred to witness the foregoing contest.
and among these was Mr. Campbell, the
president of the association. As end
after end was played without Winnipeg
scoring a count deep and aWesome
hush fell like pail upon the assembled
crowd, and the only sound heard was
Nettleton's "Well played, sir; like il"
For the international contest the Can
adams have pitted L. Kelly against Net
Teton and +. l.. Patton against A. Nc
Culloch. These two Kinks are selected
as the strongest in the association, and
the st. Paul boys will need the prayers
of all their friends. The st. Paul curl
ers were invited to attend the lieutenant
governors reception last night. but,
having no apparel save their curling
costumes, they of necessity declined, it
being unanimously voted that Hinkel
ana Cory would hardly appear fit in the
sweaters and high felt CATERS.
The citizens of Winnipeg tender a
banquet to all visiting curriers' tomorrow
night, and everybody is looking for
Judge Cory'S response in behalf of st.
Paul. His rink is only fearful as to the
manner OIL delivery anu elecuIlOIdry
technique. We know that the subject
matter is above criticism, because Nc
Culoch and Hinkel have labored ardu-
ousIy upon it, and they think that the
speech, If we'll committed, will enthrall
all listeners as a splendid burst of ex-
temporaneous eloquence. The fol-
lowing is the list of winners of
last nights games and the morn
ing and afternoon games of today:
c. \. Sitting, of Rat Portage; F. l..
