Special to The Independent:
Moosejaw, Sask., Feb. 10. - The
Minot Curriers' Special arrived here at
II o'clock this morning and one of
the most enjoyable Bonspiels in the
history of Moosejaw has been in pro-
gress today.
The Minot Curriers' rode in special
coach attached to No. 1O7 and were
given an ovation upon their arrival
that would have pleased even his
Royal Highness, King George.
The Minot Curriers' wore the blue
''Why Not Minot" Carnival uniforms,
and marched thru the streets singing:
"M-M-M- -Minot, Why Not Minot,
OF the Northwest she surely is
the hub;
M-M-M- -Minot, Why Not Minot,
Why Not Minot and the Moose
jaw Curling Club"
Members of the Moosejaw Curling
Club met the Minot players hun
dred miles down the line and es-
corted them to Moosejaw in real
style.
There were no events of particular
interest on the Special, except an in
ventory was taken of what each man
wore. For instance, A. M. Thomp-
son was attired in the cutest little
suit of mauve pajamas imaginable; !;
DR.. r. w. Pence wears pink night
cap to keep his beautiful pompadour
locks in shape, (no joke).
6. Aurland, Dr. Kermott and Rev.
Erickson, occupied the state room US
ually chartered by millionaires. The
visitors simply cannot spend cent
anywhere in Moosejaw, all cigar
stands, hotels, restaurants, ETC., have
received instructions to inform the
NMinot players that their money is
counterfeit.
,.,rhe games Monday>afternoon were
won as follows:
Minot took three and Moosejaw
four Of the seven afternoon games,
tho Minot won a total Of 70 points
against 73 for Moosejaw. It must
be admitted that Moosejaw "has it
on" the Minot bunch most Of the
time. They have such old time ar
fists, as Hefflinger, DR.. Cudmore, Dr..
Keough, and a score more whose
names are famous among curriers', but
make.
