posing the victorious st. Paul rink at the
Northwestern curling bonspiel held at
Milwaukee last week, reached st. Paul
yesterday morning, covered with glory
and smiles AS the quartette stepped off
the cars, in their. mackinaws, each man
with bronze clock under his arm, Andy
Call, thinking he would win favor with
the new chief, devoted special attention
to the suspicious characters. The leather
box, containing the St. Paul Jobbers'
union trophy, zealously guarded by Full
lerton and Stewart, was Immediately an
object Of suspicion on the part Of Andy.
When Officer Call saw the. clocks he
smiled inwardly, as he had sized up the
four brawny Scots as roughs we'll
worth watching. why, Andy, don't you
know us?' asked Judge Cory.
''Oh, it's you, is it?' exclaimed the as
tonished guardian of the law. "Well,
been reading about you in the papers.
But, say, what are you doing with those
clocks?'
why, those are the prizes put in

continued the illustrious skip in scarce
ly audible whisper.
It was not with emotion that Fullerton
was choking, but. to win the st. Paul
Jobbers' trophy against score Of crack
Kinks from all over the Northwest had
occasioned a very liberal use Of his vocal
apparatus in admonishing his men to
"Soop 'er up and other technical
coaching phrases of the old Scotch game,
and had left him with hardly any voice
at all.
Every man .ip the party felt highly
elated over their victory at the bonspiel
Fullerton and Stewart never let the
trophy go out of their sight once during
the trip, and at nightEslept with the leath-
er box between them.
yes, we had royal time" said the
skip of the St. Paul rink. 1.-THE Milwaukee
people entertained lis all the time We
were in the city. The weather was ideal
curling weather, and we played on some
Of the finest .sheetsi:of ice I have ever
seen. Secretary J. c. Wall, O.. w. Robin
son, Steve H0ugh and other old-time
curriers' were on hand, and that we thor
oughly enjoyed Ourselves goes without
saying. But we had to work for that
trophy. The final eve played against
Kibbe's rink, of Chicago, one Of the fast
est clubs on the fcesF
ION one end however, we made six,
and after that 1t was hard to beat us,
and the final score was 16 to ID in our
favor. I can very truthfully say that
never played with a.better rink. When
ever stone was needed here or there I
could always depend on getting it right
on the spot Indicated. We could have
beat any club, in the form we played on
the last day. 1t was impossible for us
to lose.
''The bonspiel was we'll contested in
every event, and the Kinks we played
were skipped by some of the best curl
/. ers la 'thes country. Before we left St.
Paul we had 1ittfei Or no practice, as a
rink, and that Is perhaps accountable
in the contest for the Pfster trophy.
We did not decide to go to Milwaukee
until nearly the last moment, as we had
expected that st. Paul would be other
wise represented When we found that
there was to be no rink from here we
decided to go and try and get in form
after getting to Milwaukee If such a
thing was possible.
"Thirty-two Kinks entered in the Inter
national event, ana WHEN we slelI hlU-
be's rink was playing the final with an
other rink from: Chicago.
1.-THE trophy will remain in the pos
session Of our rink until next year, when
we will be called upon to defend our title
to it against all corners. The trophy is
a beautiful silver cup, and was first Of
fered by the Jobbers' union for the sea-
son of 1891 and 1897. z
