Played at Bergen Point.


The big curling bonspiel in Hoboken is
over. 1t was finished yesterday when
the winner was reached in both the cham
pionship and consolation events. There
was more interest thai ever in the
games OF yesterday. but the final Kinks
We're not near as exciting as was antici-
pated. The Thistle No. . team won
the first prize. This was the, ore that
had such a difficult contest with the Jer-
sey Citys. and finally won by one point,
n the ease with which the Thistles won
from the others makes it certain that the
local players could have accomplished the
same thing had it not been for that un-
fortunate shot of Skip Louden. -Four
teams, the Manhattans. C~aledonian No. l,
Thistle and Caledonian No. 2. were the
contestants in the final round. Manhat-
tans beat caledonian No. /. and the This
ties conquered No. 2. The deciding rink
between Thistle and Manhattan. it was
thought. would furnish some rare sport,
but it was the tamest of the tournament
and the Manhattans only scored two
points TO twenty for Thistle. Manhattan
got second prize. and the C~aledonian teams
played for third and No. 2 won. Three
Kinks were played in the final series.
for the consolation prizes. and the Yon-
kers team captured the trophy. Jersey
City did not for some reason compete in
this. There were many lively games
in the point match. and all the final
points of the game were brought out in
contest between the rival skips. George
Lothian was the winner and James NJ.
Stevens. the veteran player of the city,
finished third, winning a handsome onyx
clock. The event has been unusually
successful. and has proved the greatest
tournament ever played in this section.
