Curling is not so well known In the

It originated, and Canada and in Ire

Curling Kinks are Of considerable

whereby the stone goes IN an oblique

Brooms are used by the curriers' to
sweep the ice dust in front of a NOV

move forward.
These and other plays well known to
curriers' require no little skill and prac-

The real director Of the match, or
perhaps team would be better, is the
skip. He Is the captain Of his side and
must be an expert at all the finest
points Of the game.
A skip should be a man Of imper.
turbable temper. never put out when q
mishap occurs, never angry at his men,
never blaming anybody but himself, in
the hour OF defeat unmurmuring and
IN the hour Of triumph generous. He
should know what each Of his team
has to perform. as each has his place
to I'LL. 1t is four against four battling
around the tee, seeing who first will
take 1t and who last will hold it.
The most important article to curl
er is the curling stone. The Canadians
use weights made of iron which weigh
about ninety pounds. but in this coun-
try only stones are used, and they
weigh about forty-eight pounds.
The promotion Of curling was taken
up by the South park commissioners
In Chicago two years ago. a commit
tee of members of the Chicago Curling
club visited Superintendent Foster.
and Mt special meeting privilege was
granted for the use of the north la
COON. There is space when the wea tn
er does not interfere with the play for
twelve Kinks.
The game has been taken kindly to
BY the public. and the number Of curl
ers at Washington park this re has
increased considerably over the previ-
Gus year.

Still the List Grows.

New, York, June 2o.-The list of
those who perished on the Gen. Slo-
cum is growing at an alarming rate.
Bodies came to the surface today off
the shores of North Brother island
singly and in groups of twos and
threes until at dusk 102 additional
had been recovered. Every passing
steamer seemed to churn up the water
to such degree that with it's wash
one or more bodies would be Iswept
into the beach. Between the hours
of and 6 in the afternoon 45 bodies,
some of them badly mutilated, were
taken ashore by the searching parties.
This brings the total number of
bodies recovered up to 734, and yet
there are something like 300 unac-
counted for. A number of these are
among the unidentified at the morgue
and over on North Brother island and
the unacceptable" that have been
buried in the Lutheran cemetery on
Long Island.
