1t Only Remains for the Canadians
to Play 1t Down.

1t Only Remains for the Canadians
to Play 1t Down.
The struggle for the International trophy
having been concluded SO far as it related
to which aggregation of curriers' it belonged,
it only remains for the Canadians, who de-
feated the Americans by substantial score,
to pay down among themselves for the VIC
tor.
One Of the pleasant and memorable features
of the contest was witnessed at the close Of
the struggle between the Americans and Can
adams. The hardy Canadians had proven
themselves strong fighters and had won over
the Americans. No sooner was the result
apparent than the Americans suiting actions
to words, gave three rousing cheers Tor the
victors. In hearty good will were they given
and then the Canadians, not to be outdone
in this act of good cheer, responded with
three cheers and tiger in honor of their
brethren from this side of the line. Although
the score would indicate that perhaps 1t was
an easy victory, such was not the case and
the interest will continue until the game
had been played among the play downs and
some one Canadian rink proves itself in
vincible as against its fellow players and
secures the trophy after a hard fought vic
tory: Several games in the play downs were
finished yesterday, with the results as below
Eight Canadian Kinks entered the Interna-
tional contest and must play it out among
themselves.

to maintain their record of an unbroken Sc

start, and 1t was only in the seventh end that

however, were In the best of condition ana
