The ‘roarin' game’ of curling shows no sign of decay. It is indeed more popu- lar than ever. In a history of sport in Canada a long chapter is devoted to this It is an old-established game 111 Canada, probably the oldest organized game, as the Montreal Curling Club was The annual convention of the On- tario Branch ofthe Dominion Alliance will be held in Toronto on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next- week Feb. l4, l5 and 16-. It is des- ired to make this convention as large and as representative as possiple, and all churches and temperance organiza- tions are urged to send delegates. Special reduced rates will be given by the raiIWays. Among. the important matters that will be discussed at the convention will be the demand for pro- ‘vince wide abolition of the bar, the re- peal of the unfair three-fifths majority clause, the efiective enforcement of law, especially in local option municipali- ties, and the laying of plans for an- other campaign.

Scotchmen, however, had curl- ed in Canada long before that. The 0-0 'ccment a somewhat precarious existence by reason of lack of proper stones, but this difficulty was overcome by the sub- stitution of irons. These were shaped something like. tea-kettles and weighed irom forty-sin to sixty-five pounds each. Irons were found to be more suitable than stones, and their use has been con- tinued .to the present time. History re- cords that in 1821 a regular club was organized at Quebec, and that in 1830 a match was played between the two clubs at Three Rivers. The Thistle Club of Montreal, was founded in 1742, and the Caledonia in 1850. Clubs elsewhere fol- lowed rapidly, Kingston in 1859, Ottawa in 1862. Bellevil‘le in 1867, and Arnprior in 1868. Numbers of other clubs have been established in this district since that time, and this has been repeated all over the country. The ‘roarin’ game’ now flourishes I in Canada everywhere where ice is to be obtained, even in the Yukon; and in the Northern States of the Union there are clubs of curling en- thusiasts. ' Because of our long reliable winter period, Eastern Canada iS’eminently fit- ted for the pursuit of curling; much more so, indeed, than Scotland, the first home of the game. It is asserted-and there are more unlikely thingsâ€"that the eagerness of the Scotch to enlist for active service inCanada'durli'n'g the-corrâ€" , test between France and Britain, was ’due to the opportunities in this country for continuous curling !

But per- haps the game does not represent so much to the latter as it does to the for- :mer; because among the Scotch the game is not only a pastime, but as the Scotch- man has expressed it, ‘a bond drawing fe‘cotchman together in clannish ‘and national relationship.’ As a game pure and simple, there is this to be said :about curlingâ€"it is eminently adaped to ;a spirit of fair-play and good-fellowship as well as requiring the phyical quali- fications of a cool head, a keen eye, and a steady hand.

I think in- deed they are crazy I” But give the Frenchman an opportunity and he‘will develop an affection for curling as deep and fervent as the Sassenach, ‘Pattison Corbay Torbay’ did, after a while, for the appearance of a Scotchman, in Gilbert’s ‘Ba-b Ballad‘ about Ellen McJones, ‘Aber- deeu." Says Gilbert: ‘Torbay had in- curred a good deal of expense To make him a Scotchman in every sense; ’But this is a matter, you'll readily own. That isn’t a question of tailors alone." A most pleasing feature of Canadian curling is the loyalty of our clubs to the mother club, the Royal Caledonia Club in Scotland. All our Canadian curling clubs are affiliated with it, and the Can- adian curlers, at their annual banquets, after having honored the King and the Governor-General, invariably hail the Royal Caledonia as “ Oor auld respectit DlSTliESSIllG HEADACHES.

Where the game originated is not exactly Britain for. three hundred years at least. Burns in literature called it ‘the roaring game,’ and many fine songs have been written about curling, descriptive of all itsleading points, its implements, and in praise of the game as a promoter of mutual enjoyment, bodily health and the best of good fellowship. The ‘Et- trick Shepherd’ ranks among the lan- reatesof the rink, but Henry Duncan’s song is quotedlas the most excellent on the subject, as he succeeds in packing intoa single stanza some of its chief characteristics : for $d0.

It sometimes happens that the stone nearest the teeâ€"the win- nor, as it is calledâ€"is so well protected that it cannot be touched directly, and defies removal unless it is assailed by an ingenious master stroke technically termed wicking or inringing, whereby a stone is sent in an oblique direction so as haply to hit the winner; if it not only does that, but becomes the winner instead. the player who throws the stone is sure to be hailed by the exultâ€" ing comradcs as a prince among curlers, if not ‘the king 0' the core.’ The rules (if-the gamealmost universally followed are thoseof the Royal CaledanianClub, and they are not dillicult to learn.
