During the time of the winter
carnival-Jan. q to 80, '96-the great
est curling bonspiel ever held in
America will be pulled off in st. Paul.
Besides all the curriers' who will con-
test in the national events at Duluth,
Secretary BoWlby, of the Winter Car
niyal association, is receiving assur-
anceS that curriers' from New York
and other states will come who a.
not ordinarily travel West to play.
The attractions at the carnival will
draw them, and the local committee
on the great Scotch game, with
George O.Nettleton as chairman, will
no doubt offer trophies and prizes of
sufficient value to insure very
lively competition.
President Curtis, of the National
Amateur Skating association, will
soon decide as to the possibil-
ity of holding the annual champion
ship contests in st. Paul. If the meet
ing is brought here it will insure the
attendance of the very best skaters
in America. At Aurora park MeSsrs.
MetZdorf and Wolf are building an
eight-foot racing track of five laps to
the mile, and accommodations much
above the ordinary could there be of
fered to racers and spectators alike.
Messrs. Wolf and Halvorson, of the
Boston Carnival club, were the first
to appear on the streets of st. Paul
this winter in carnival costume. AS
they moved about the downtown
thoroughfareS yesterday afternoon
they attracted more attention than
a circus. One would think carni-
val club uniform was a novelty here,
judging from the comments passed
and the stares directed at the two
handsome lads in the Swell-loOking
blanket suits. Ike Lederer marched
along between them as proud as a.
warrioraon parade. When the trio
called on DR.. G. E. Bean, president of
the association, he welcomed them
most heartily, and they at once swore
allegiance to the chief of the carni-
val.

The committee on public cooperation
held meeting yesterday afternoon at
the office of D. R. Noyes, to consider
the question of securing special rates
on the railroads for the carnival s2a-.
son. An effort will be made to secure
a one-fare rate for the territory within
300 miles of st. Paul.
George Allen has already begun to
plan a winter cake walk on an elabo-
rate scale. He proposes to hold it on
a fine day and let the contestants pa
rade around Rice park, thus affording
the public the very best opportunity
of seeing and judging. A piping hot
'possum supper will follow the decis-
