The competition for tht second trophy of- féred by Hon. John Dryden commtnced at 'Oshawa on Wednesday afteruoon. Whitby was drawn to compete witb Millbrook, but the latter did not appear and ont- men had a walkover. Lindsay and Bowmanville play- ed their draw. the former winning. On Wednesday night Port Pet-ty defeatd Port Hope by 10 shots. Yesterday morning Oshawa dtfented Port Pet-iy by r6 shots, and Lindsay beat Whitby by 2 shcts. This lefi Oshawa and Lindsay to play tht last draw. Iu tht final Oshawa defeated Lind- say, anp holds tht cup for tht ye ýr. There is considerable dissatisfactlon in tbis district tegarding tht conduct of tht Oshawa club iu claiming the original Dry- den cup. Tht regulations stipulated that tht cup was ta become the property of tht first club winuing it tbree tUes. Oshawa won it twice lu succession, and by sanie process af reasoung figured it ont that. to win twice band runnlng was equal ta win- Ring three limaes off and* on. No circular was issued ta tht competing clubs explain- how tht cup had thus became the property of tht Oshawa club, and ail were patiently waiting for the notice froni Oshawa sum- moning theu tot tht annual bonspiel, wheu to their surprise a circular was issued ta play fat- a new cup, and nothing saïd about tht aid onte. Tht reguain for the new cap are the sanie as for tht original ont. It must be won thi-te times before becoming tht property cf any club. It is singular that Oshawa did not put in a clause making it the. property of any club winning it twice, running. This wouid bave put a face on Oshawa's action in seizbng- the firzt'cupý on that plea. It -is expected tbatenough pro- tests will hé put in by other clubs ta, render- it necesary for Oshawa 'b issue a 'cali for a continuance cf the coinpetitlnn. Chas.
