in the way OF winter sports. and to
make the ring popular In every sense
OF the word. Chairman Cameron of
the committee say that there is no
reason why the curling rink should
not become a social center in Grand
Forks during the winter months Just
as 1t has in many other cities. The
best equipment possible will be OBJ
tained and the rink will be run along
thoroughly up-to-date lines.
The Grand Forks Curling club is In
~corporated for $4,000, h stock being
divided into 1000 shares Of $40 each.
The plan is to dispose of these shares
to Grand Forks business men and
citizens generally. The directors are
confident that the rink will be a sue
cess from a financial standpoint, for
this has been the result in every city
where it has been tried. Already some
of the stock has been spoken for and
during the next few days a committee
will nva the city. Those who de-
sire to take took will find a list In
the office of the secretary of the CONF
mercial club. Nc difficulty is antict-
pated in financing the proposition in
view of the enthusiastic support 1t has
received.

Good shape for the Big Go
Across River.

Everything is in readiness for the
big athletic entertainment which is on

Boston, Mass, who is passing through
to the coast. The match Will be FOR
two, in three falls, and Chris who mas
been wrestling for several nights In
succession says he couldn't be in better
shape and that If he loses 1t will be to
a better man.
A big feature of the nights enter
tainment will be the meeting of Kid
Medford of Fargo and Kid Weiman, of
New York, who stopped off here to sec
If hi could get on with Leo Kossick,
and it win depend on how he shows UP
with Medford as to whether he will get
a chance at Kossick. He is said to be
a good one.
However, the Fargo Athletic club is
thinking of putting on Kossick and
Spencer, the latter of Winnipeg In a
big show to lake place in this city be-
fore long and it is believed that Leo
will not be at all adverse to tackling
Spencer, who is said to be bigger than
the Fargo boy.
All who want to see a real good show
should be at the hall tonight.

Bob Spencer writes from Winnipeg,
Canada, to the effect tina he herewith
challenges any lightweight in the
country for a battle in Fargo and he
prefers to hitch up with Leo koSS1ck.
He says he will make weight with
Kossick and will meet him at any
time the match can be arranged.
Spencer appears to be a good one, and
has met Winnipeg O'Brien twice, get

ten-round go and the other In a six
round battle. OBrien is the same man
who met Leo Kossick a few nights
ago n got a draw out of the local

FOR GRAND FORKS

Grand Forks, N. D., Nov. 27.-Final
plans for launching the big curling and
skating rink were made at a meeting
of the directors of the newly incor-
porated organization at the commercial
club rooms this morning. The site
chosen for the rink is the half block
at the corner of Bulge and Washington
street. The rink will front east on the
street and will be easily accessible
from the car line and also from the
southern p of the city. The meet
ing this morning was an enthusiastic
one, and assurances of support from
scores of citizens mean the success or
the proposition from q financial stand
point. Naturally the rink will be a big
thing for Grand Forks in furnishing
two ideal forms of winter sport that
are both popular and healthful, one APP
pealing particularly to the younger
people n the other to the men of the
city.
The rink will b. ample In size, 40
feet by 225 feet, with several sheets
of ice for curling and a big unbroken
sheet of Ice for skating purposes.
There will be waiting rooms for men
and women suitably arranged, as well
as lockers and other equipment that
goes with an up-to-date curling rink.
The object OF, the association Is to give
Grand Forks something worth while
