He felt, however, that the interests of the nmvisbip were quite safe in 1119 liriiids of iii» iicw council. and hoped that Mummy and good-will would mark their proceedings. The retiring councillor, Mr. J. D.

Some Very Interesting Games in the Presidentâ€"Vice President Series. New Year's day at the, Curling Rink is alwaysâ€"when there isgoodicc â€":i great day with ihe Curling Club. On that day every member of the club is supposed to play, Saturday last the turnout of members was very large, and from early morning till late at night the play was kept up. The matches were a continuation of the Presldent-Vice-President series. The President's side was away (down, but Saturday's play was about twenty points in their favor. At the close 'of the day the Vice-President, however, had still a lead of 43 points. All of the games wrrc keenly contested. Many spectators ‘u-i'c in attendance and watched w‘iih int-\rest the play, am- ong “both we noticed quite asprink- ling of the fair sex. The ladies are always welcome to the rink; a large room, heated and affording a good view, of the play, is at their disposal. In the morning the President. Mr. F. Knowlson, played against J. G. Ed- wards, and taking the lead at the start he gradually increased it, pull- ing out by a good majority, as the score below shows." Mr. Flavelle and Mr. McLennan had a battle royal on Ice No. 2 ; every stone was well played, and the play was of the best, the score all through the game being very close; on the fourteenth end the game was a tie, and it was not until the last stone was played that the game was decided. Mr. Hopkins beat his op- ponent, Mr. Keith, in good style, Mr.- Hopkins himself pulling up a great game. Mr. Keith, we learn, was not well and should not have been «in the ice. Mr. Brodie “on from Mr. Simp- son by good steady, hard play ; he was away behind at (hr start, but pulled up and came out ahead. Mr. Hart was playing for the fiist time this season; he was vciy warmly welcomed by the members of the ciul‘, everyone being pleased that he has so fair recovered fron the accident he met with a few weeks ago as to take his place. His playing was fully up to the standard. in lhf' afternoon Mr. Little beat Mr. MoSw.-yn after a close and hard-fought game. Mr. \V. Dundzis' rink hadihings their own wa with Mr. D, McGribben's. The game oi the afternoon was that on Ice No. 2, between Mr. J. A. Mc- Mill.m’s rink and Mr. Kennedy’s; at one time 1h» score stood Kennedy 10, McMillan 1', but Mac took off his coat. and went into the game to win, and win 110 did. ‘ lo Ilic M't-ning F.

Oh Ira No. :1, Dr. Simpson played Mr. Haretone. The difference in the -s_izes of the respective players on ihe links was quite amusing; two of the larg- es‘ men in thc club were playing for ‘11- Doctor against two of the small boys of Mr Haiswne's rink, whilst on his side, to balance this, the chaplain was [laying firr Mr. Harstonc ageinsi: one of fh.‘ smallest men of the. club.
