There was very little sunshine during the past seven days and roads were severely blocked by the blizzards that occurred almost daily.

This sounds absuxd, but theoretic- ally it is absolutely comect. Is it necessary to polish the ice. or is it intended to create a vacuum and thus draw the stone forward, and if so, how far may one be ex- pected to succeed? Sweeping Laterally Then again. if a stone can be swept forward, can it be swept later-ally in order to coax a mis- directed stone to the desired spot. And if vigorous sweeping in front of a stone is effective, will it retard All Kinds of Sweeping Dr. Frederick W innett is, or was, a doubtin‘ Thomas. and being of a scientific turn of mind, he proceed- ed to mom or disprove his theory by a test which produced some very interesting results.

Part of the Game Somehow old curlers rarely ex- press any doubt as to the enormous importance or hard and judicious sweeping of a stone. Do they blind- ly accept a tradition that. from long habit. has become an essential part of the game? Certainly cur]- ing would lose some of its zest if the sweeping were cut out. What a relief it would he sometimes for :a lawn bowler if he could eXpend some of his s111;)e-rfluous enthusiasm by sweeping his howl when it is drawing near the jack?

With the introduction of artific- ial ice in Toronto, curling has re- ceived a new impetus, and scores of peopleare trying their hand at the roarin’ game who could not be lur- ed into the sport before on account of the delightful uncertainty as to whether there would be sufficient temperature to provide ice at a specified time.
