was elected to succeed George Il.
Hall as president of the st. Paul
Curling club, M. A. Beckman was
chosen vice president, while Alex
McCulloch and D. G. Murray were
reelected secretary and treasurer
respectively.
This action was taken at the an
nual meeting of the club, which was
held in the spacious rink on Rasp-
berry island, and at which there
were perhaps fifty enthusiastic curl
ers. DR.. Kelly, with becoming mod
esty, alleged that the honor might
more appropriately be bestowed
upon an older curler, but stated
that he would do all in his power to
further the interest in curling and
the prosperity of the club. The fol-
lowing were made members of the
executive committee: Judge H. w.
Cory, H. l.. Snowden, George +.
Hall, DR.. S. o. Arnold and Thomas
Cameron. The selection of chap
lain to succeed DR.. Carson, who has
gone away, was left to committee.
Four new members were taken into
the organization, and are Sam Full
lerton, J. E. Meyers, D. E. Young
and DR.. r. w. Berthold.
Judge Cory spoke briefly with a
view to infusing as much enthusiasm
as possible into the actions Of the
club in connection with carnival
matters, and stated that the club
must surely send six or eight rinks
to Duluth for the Northwestern
Curling association bonspitl which
is slated for Jan. Is at Duluth.
Arrangements were made to have a
curling club benefit at the Grand opera
house the evening of Dec. 80, when Gus
Heege and his company will play ga
Yenuine Yentleman.' The curriers' will
make plans to attend the performance
in a body The club house telephone
will be placed in position today. A
committee will probably be appointed
to consist of some of the curriers' who
visit Duluth, whose mission shall be
to bring to the st. Paul carnival bon
spiel, which is fixed for the week of
Jan. 20, as many as possible of the
Kinks entered in the Zenith City events.
These rinks comprise curriers' from
Winnipeg, Chicago, Milwaukee, Cam
bria, Portage, Lodi, Poynette and Bar
aboo, to say nothing of the ''bra"
citizens of the lake city who have
promised to come in large numbers
and with their best Kinks.
Secretary McCulloch submitted a
very interesting report which was list
ened to with considerable pleasure by
the members present. He recounted the
incidents in the club season of 1S94-5,
which began just before last Thanks
giving and lasted until March, during
all Of which time the interest in the
canny sport never abated.
1t was, he says, the first year when
st. Paul failed to hold a bonSpiel, and
adds that three of the Kinks which rep
resented the Sanity City in the Mil
waukee bonspiel were fortunate enough
to bring home trophies. They were
skipped by Messrs. George Hall, George
Nettleton and Alex. McCulloch. The
club was not so fortunate in the con-
tests held at Winnipeg or Duluth. In
the club matches Tom Cameron'S rink
captured the Gordon medal, while Dar
McMillan's rink won the right to rep
resent this city in the contest at Du-
luth for the Merriam trophy.
The report shows that there are on
the books some POT members, and that
the executive committee has convened
early and often, at which times the
best interests of the curriers' have been
conserved.
The treasurer also submitted his
financial statement, which shows that
the club is in good condition.
