This Morning Names OF the.
Officers and Clubs-The Winnt-
peggers Come Out Strongest.
Paul Curriers' Plau TO Entertnini
Their Friends.

Ii the curler never offered prayer in
his life before, he has offered one IN
ceaslngly since he arrived in the city
yesterday morning and beheld the
watery condition OF the few remnants
of ice that we have left. However, the
heroes from the North (who. it isrn-
mored, have engaged accommodation for
upwards of one hundred wielders of the
broom. and, likewise, have promised to
take back all the prizes with themD
brought with them news of cold wave,
which 1t is devoutly hoped will arrive.
and that right early this morning.
The draws will be made at 9 o'clock,
when it is expected that between 250
and 800 visiting curriers' will be in the
city. These, with the home parties.
will assemble at Raspberry island at
that time to decide who Will meet who
for the jobbers' union trophy.
Although the first bonsplel given
under the auspices of the st. Paul Curl
ing club was not all that some of the
most eXacting could desire, it is assum-
ing very little to say that in detail this
second event will please every one who
comes.
The officers of the association are:
John Johnston, president, Milwaukee.
Wis.,; DIR. B, G. Meacher, vice presi-
dent, Portage, Wis; j. B. Hill, second
vice president, Chicago. ILL.,; w. f.
Myron, secretary-treasurer. st. Paul.
Minn., and these will be assisted by the
executive committee. composed or H.
w. Cory, st. Paul. Miup.; A. j. Turner,
Portage. Wis.,; John Goodnow, Mime
apoiis, Mimi; o. w. Robertson. Mil
Waukee. Wis; A. r. Macfarlane, Du-
luth, MINI.
These latter men are of the various
local Kinks. and to simply mention
these two groups of curriers' is sufficient
to guarantee that everything will pass
off smoothly, and to the entire salts
faction of everybody concerned.
The Northwestern association is COM
posed of clubs from Arlington, Wis. :;
Baraboo. Wis; Cambria. Wis. Chicago;
South Park, Chicago; Duluth. Fargo.
Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Portage. Wis. !;
Lodi, Wis: st. Paul, and Waupaca,
Wis, and added to this will be the
twelve to fifteen Kinks from the Royal
Caledonia Curling Association of eau
ada.
The st. Paul club has made ample
and excellent arrangements for the
successful carrying out of all their
plans, and so far as the entertainment
OF the guests is concerned nothing re-
mains to done. The club will keep open
house down on Raspberry island and
the Commercial club, as well as the
Press club, has extended the hospital
tiles of their respective houses to the
curriers'. All that remains is to have
ice in good condition, and the only thing
we can hope for is that the prophecy OF
the men from the north may come true.
The curriers' who have arrived and are
registered at the different hotels are as
