WINNIPEG, Man., Feb. 1.-the chief
attraction of Winnipeg'S curling bon
spiel was the international match to-
night, the Kinks of ST. Paul and Duluth
representing the United States, and two
very strong Kinks upholding Canada's
honor. Victory perched upon the BAN
ners of the CanuckS, they being ten
ahead on an aggregate score. THIS game
aroused much enthusiasm, and was wit
messed by a very largo audience.
After playing all night, only half
dozen Kinks were left in the contest for
the New York Life challenge cup
this morning. The American Kinks
succumbed. not because they did not
make a noble stand, but largely because
they were unfortunate enough to be
drawn against some of the strongest
VI NSlCldu CullClS luot NilioOo
could produce. Nettleton'S crack rink,
of st. Paul, was drawn against Kelly,
of Brandon, a famous Canadian curler,
and 1t was case of
GREEK MEET GREEK.
st. Paul's men made a gallant fight
and were beaten by the narrow margin
of three points. Most of today was
given up to the contest for the Walker
vile trophy. Queerly enough st. Paul
again drew Kelly in the preliminares of
this contest, but on this occasion they
upset all the calculations of the curling
talent by beating the Brandon man and
beating him badly, too, score at the fin
ish being 81 to 10. Duluth fell down at
an early stage of the game and was
never able to recover. The Zenith City
men, however, are still hopeful and
have entered in every contest OF the
bonspiel. St Paul plays in the second
series of the WalKerviile tomorrow.
Friday night all the visiting curriers'
brethren.
In the international contest the
representatives of the United States
were Nettleton. st. Paul, and Smith,
of Duluth. Canada was represented
by Mckenzie, of the Winnipeg Thistles.
and Fraser. of the Winnipeg GRANTEES.
Nettleton and Fraser played see-saw
game from start to finish. first one lead
ing and then the other. 1t was
undoubtedly the best game of the bon
spiel, and had the Duluth men done as
we'll as st. Pauls worthy representa-
tives, the result might have
been different They tied at
the fourth and eleventh ends. Fraser
made two on the twelfth and
one on the thirteenth, giving him lead
of three. Then Nettleton made two
each on the fourteenth and fifteenth
ends, giving him lead of one when the
last end was to be played. Fraser, how
ever, had the last stone, and made all
that was possible. He counted three,
winning by l6 to IA. The Duluth man.
however, was not match for McKen-
zie. The latter got a good lead at the
start. and kept on increasing it until
the thirteenth end was played, when
Smith threw up the sponge, the score
then standing is TO s in the Winnipeg
gers favor. The total score was:
