The draw for positions was to have
been held yesterday morning, but the
curriers' were slow in getting around,
and it was not until 2 o'clock in the
afternoon that the draw was finally
brought about. An hour later play was
in progress on the four sheets for the
first event held in honor of the Mani
toba branch Of the Royal Caledcnian

ued at $15 each, and the fourth prize
will be four individual prizes valued at
$40 each The total value of the medals
offered in this event is $500, and all are
presented by citizens of st. Paul. The
second event in honor of the North
western Curling association is similar
to the first, and the prizes are the same
and valued at the same amount, so
that the first three events, including,
of course, the Windsor Toboggan club
prize or trophy, show value of $500.

held in honor of all unfortunates, will
be played for the John Smith diamond
