Yesterday another scene of great activity
pervadedE the Thistle Curling Rink in
Hoboken. and the second day in the
Grand Curling Bonspiel was more vigor-
ousiy occupied by the mernbers of the
contesting organizations than any in the
history of the game in this vicinity. Cur
iers began the work bright and early in
the morning. the weather apparently hav-
ing the effect to put them in high key
for the work that was before them. The
rink resounded with the familiar express
sions of the players when giving advice to
those on the opposite ends in making
their shots. and throughout the day there
was a regular din of shouting and clink-
ing of the stones. and 1t was truly a novel
sight to see SO man. engaged with brooms
which were HANDLED more lively than ever
in the sweeping of the ice SO as no particle
OF anything could possibly impede the
progress of the stone until it had reached
the spot for which it was intended. The
playing of the Jersey City Club was the
great surprise of the bonspiel thus far.
They were not considered as having any
chance even in the preliminary round on
the first day. but they went through this
safely and under the skillful guidance of
ex-senator William D. Edwards. his team
scored a victory over one of the Thistle's
Kinks in the first section by a margin of
five shots. The other local rink was de-
feated after a lively ontes by the Man
h%attans. and the match between another
rink of the Thistles and Jersey City, with
w. D. Edward as skip. The remarkably
close work in thiszmatch was the feature
OF the tournament. and afforded lots of
excitement for the members of the other
teams who crowded on both sides of the
rink ten or twelve deep and cheered each
successful shot. AT fifteen all the scores
tied. and an extra one was shot which
gave Thistle the victory by one point.
Many other lively games were played.
Scores were:-
