Curling. 
 
 "Noo, flU a bumper to the brim, 
 
 And drink wi' three times three, man; 
 May curiers on life's slippery rink 
 Trae crul rubs be free, man." 
 
 The game of curling is one of the most interesting of our winter 
 amusements. While the majority are inclined to look on the features 
 of the sport in a jocose light, yet we think that it affords scope for a 
 display of skill, such as few games demand ; in fact, it has been 
 claimed that no mortal can curl to perfection, but tradition has it 
 that a certain Tam Pate, who flourished in the earJv part of this 
 century, never missed a shot. 
 
 Of the origin of curling it is hard to speak with accuracy, for in 
 every European country where civilization has entered, their annals 
 speak of it in some shape or other. It drifted about from clime to 
 clime until it finally found home in the bosom of Scotland. 
 
 But by far the most important event in the history of curling was 
 the formation of the Grand Caledonian Club in 1838. In 1843 the word 
 Royal was added by orders of Her Majesty on a visit to Scotland, 
 and since the club has numbered amongst its presidents His K. H., 
 the Prince of Wales, as well as other members of the Koyal Family, 
 the game now is so thoroughly Scotch that it cannot adapt itself to 
 the language and manners of any other country. Wherever a curling 
 pond is to be found, a Scotchman is to bo found at the bottom of it, 
 and the game will not be universal until Scotch is the one tongue, 
 and the human race one Scotch family— an event, however desirable 
 to some, is not a probable occurrence. 
 
 In 1878 the Eusholme Ice Kink, at Manchester, was constructed at 
 a cost of £29,000. The Southport Glaciarium followed in 1879 at a cost 
 
4 OUKlilNG. 
 
 of £30,000, The cause of these expensive rinks was want of natura 
 ice, owing to the mildness of the climate. 
 
 Curling was introduced into Ireland by the Scotch adventurers, 
 who were sent across as planters to root in the soil and undermine 
 the native buds. However, all traces of the sport had disappered 
 when Dr. Carnie formed the Belfast Club in 1839. 
 
 The game has gone forth and fared better. In Canada, where ice 
 and Scotch settlers prevail, curling is a favorite sport. There are 
 now nineteen clubs in the Quebec province, all aflSliated to the 
 Koyal Club. 
 
 In 1874 curling had m,ade such progress in Western Canada that 
 the Ontario province was formed separate, with its headquarters at 
 Toronto. 
 
 Curlers in the United Stated have also since 1867 been organized 
 under a grand national club with its headquarters in New York. 
 
 A footing has also been obtained by the roaming game in New Zea- 
 land, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Russia, Norway and in Switzerland.

 The most important article in the curler's outfit is the curling 
 stone. In selecting a pair of stones the curler should not omit to 
 take the beauty of the article into account, although it must not, of 
 course, be preferred to real worth. Let him remember that the stone 
 mus-t be his servant, not his master, and select one over which he has 
 command. It is also good to bear in mind that the best assistant in 
 the management of the stone is polish. The careful curler will never 
 allow his curling stone to loose its gloss or brilliancy. With this the 
 heaviest stone is easily managed ; without it the lightest stone is 
 dull , stubborn and unmanageable. What the curler requires is a true 
 stone— i. e. a stone which will not be dull when the ice is dull and 
 keen when the ice is keen, but which will be equable in mood and not 
 alfected by change of weather. Those on sale by A. G. Spalding & 
 Bros., Broadway, New York, are far superior to any I have seen im- 
 ported or othei-wise. 
 
It will thus be seen that the rink game is in the hands of a skip or 
 director. The essential qualities of this worthy is, that he should 
 have a thorough knowledge of the game. He must be a man of 
 humor, delighting in jokes and jollities. With a couple of sour skips 
 at the end of the rink all the life goes out of the game. A skip 
 should be a man of imperturbable temper, never put out when a 
 mishap occurs, never blaming anybody, nevtir angry afc his men, 
 never blaming anybody but himself, in the hour of defeat _unmur- 
 muring, and in the hour of triumph generous. He mast be just, 
 honest, wise, cool, prudent, watchful, brave, courageous and blame- 
 less as a bishop. By the tee, v/atching and directing, he should 
 stand. He should know whac each of his team has to perform, as 
 each has his place to fill. It is four against four battling round the 
 tee seeing who first will take it, and who last will hold it. The first 
 player, with a pair of heavy stones, must draw up toward the coveted 
 spot. The second must protect the lead if the enemy has not dis- 
 lodged him. The third, most likely, have an angular wick or cannon- 
 shot to play. 
 
 The next important feature of the sport, is the position. In rule 1, 
 distinct instruction is given as to the place of the crampit on which 
 the player is to take his stand. He must fll the tee, i.e., he must so 
 place himself that his eye travels along the central line toward the 
 farther tee, while his right foot rests in the hack or on the heel of 
 the crampit. No matter what kind of a shot he may bo asked to 
 play, even though the point aimed at maybe several feet to the right 
 or to the left of the distant tee, the crampit or hack is immovable, 
 and no advantage must be taken by changing to a place from which 
 the shot could be more easily taken. A player need never trouble 
 himself about the awkwardness of his position if he lind that he has 
 command of his stone, and can always do the needful when his skip 
 gives the word of command. 
 
 The swing now requires attention. Hutchinson says that the curl- 
 ing stone should describe the same figure in its upward journey as 
 
G CURLING. 
 
 you hope to make it describe in its descent. As the stone descends, 
 the centre of gravity is advanced, and the left foot must also be lifted 
 and advanced as a base-line to preserve the stability of the body. 
 This saves one from rushing- forward along the ice. The lifting of 
 the left foot gives freedom in swinging the body and arm [to the 
 right or left, as the mark to be aimed at may require, for such move- 
 ment is necessary and does not interfere with the first duty ot fitting 
 the tee. One of the worst faults in curling is a clumsy, awkard delivery 
 of the stone. By this the ice alongside the crampit is cracked and 
 broken up, and the curler gives much annoyance to the other 
 players, besides he does himself injury. When a stone is quietly 
 and gracefully delivered, it is far more effective than a stone played 
 with double energy, the force of Avhich is half spent by the blow it 
 receives as it meets the ice. 
 
 But the most important of all is the twist, or what has been termed 
 the acme of tlie curling art. This is the accomplishment which gives 
 a finishing touch to curling proficiency, and differentiates the truly 
 scientific player from all his brethren, however keen. By putting 
 "twist "on the stone it can be made to curl against the bias alto- 
 gether, while the stone of the straight player is helplessly at its 
 mercy. It is even useful to know the twist when a straight shot has 
 to be played, for in delivering the stone the player is apt, uncon- 
 sciously, to give the stone a curl of some kind, a curl that he perhaps 
 does not wish to give it. This the practiced hand can avoid. Just 
 as in bowling, the skip is accustomed to indicate to the player 
 whether the bias or lead of the bowl be "in" or "out," and 
 how much green he is to take, so in curling the skip often calls 
 "elbow in" or "elbow out" as required, and points to where the 
 player is to lay on or design for, that with the curl the shot may be 
 taken. Without such directions, if a player only knows what is to 
 be done he ought to know what twist to put on, and how to negoti- 
 ate the business for himself without any such directions. w

Rules for Curlingr— Rink Medals. 
 
 Sec. I. The length of the rink played shall be forty-two yards. 
 The tees shall be put down thirty-eight yards apart. In a continued 
 straight line with the tees, and four yards distant from each, a circle, 
 eighteen inches in diameter, shall be drawn on the left-hand side of 
 tiaid line (looking in the direction to be played), and its edge just 
 touching it. Within this circle, whether standing on the ice, or on 
 any rest, support, or abutment whatsoever, permitted by the rules, 
 each player, when playing his stone, shall place his right foot and 
 his left foot on the left-hand side of the central line (the circle to be 
 on the opposite side of the line if the player be left-handed). When 
 a hack or hatch in the ice is used, it must be Ijehind the circle above 
 described, and not of greater length than fourteen inches, measuring 
 from the central line. A circle of seven feet radius to be described 
 from each tee as a centre to, and no stone to count which passes this, 
 and beyond a line drawn across the further edge of the seven-feet 
 circle ; such stone to be treated as out of the game, and put off the 
 ice. Should this be neglected, and another stone stopped against it, 
 and within seven feet of the tee, the stone so stopped to be counted 
 in the game. The hog-score t3 be distant from each tee one-sixth 
 part of the whole rink played. Every one to be a hog which does not 
 clear a square placed upon this score ; but no stone to be considered 
 a hog which has struck another stone lying over the hog-score. A 
 line shall be drawn on the ice at right angles to the rink, half-way 
 between the tees, Avhich shall be called "The Middle Line." In no 
 case shall the rink played be less than thirty-two yards. 
 
lO CURLING, 
 
 As soon as the rink is marked off, and before beginning to play, 
 the terms of the match or game must be distinctly stated and fixed 
 by the skips, if they have not been previously arranged. These 
 terms may either be, that the parties shall play for a specified time, 
 or a game of a certain number of shots or heads. Though the terms 
 have been previously fixed, they should here be repeated. 
 
 Sec. 2. Every rink to be composed of four players a side, each 
 with two stones. Before commencing the game, each skip shall state 
 to his opposing skip the rotation in which his men are to play, and the 
 rotation so fixed is not to be changed during the game. Each pair 
 of players shall play one stone alternately with his opponent, till he 
 has played both. 
 
 Sec. 3. The two skips opposing each other shall settle by lot, or 
 any other way they may agree upon, which party shall lead, after 
 which the winning party of the last end shall do so. 
 
 Sec. 4. All curling stones shall be of a circular shape. No stone 
 shall be of a greater weight than forty-four pounds imperial, nor less 
 than thirty-two pounds, nor of greater circumference than thirty-six 
 inches, nor of less height than one-eighth part of its greatest circum- 
 ference, unless the club uses iron blocks. No iron block to exceed 
 over seventy pounds in weight. And the same rules as to size must 
 govern the iron blocks which govern the stones. Players may change 
 the side of their stones once during the game, but they shall not be 
 allowed to change them oftener, or change stones after the com- 
 mencement of the game, unless by mutual consent of the skips, 
 except one or both may be broken, and then the largest portion of 
 the broken stone to count, without any necessity for playing with it 
 more. If the played stone rolls and stops on its side or top, it shall 
 not be counted, but put off the ice. Should the handle quit the stone 
 in the delivery, the player must keep hold of it, otherwise he shall 
 not be entitled to replay his shot. 
 
CURLING. II 
 
 Sec. 5. Each party, before beginning to play, and during the 
 course of each end, to be arranged along the sides of the rink, 
 anywhere between the middle line and the tee which their skip may 
 direct ; but no party, except when sweeping according to the rule, 
 shall go upon the middle of the rink, nor cross it under any pretence 
 whatever. The skips alone to stand at or about the tee, as their turn 
 requires. 
 
 Sec. 6. If a player plays out of turn, the stone so played may be 
 stopped in its progress, and returned to the player. If the mistake 
 shall not be discovered till the stone is again at rest, the opposite 
 party shall have the option to add one to their score, and the game 
 proceed in its original rotation, or to declare the end null and void. 
 
 Sec. 7. The sweeping\ department shall be under the exclusive 
 direction and control of the skips. The player's party shall be 
 allowed to sweep when the stone is past the middle line, and till it 
 reaches the tee ; the adverse party, when it has passed the tee. The 
 sweeping to be always to a side or across the rink ; and no sweepings 
 to be moved forward and left in front of a running stone, so as to 
 stop or obstruct its course. Either party may sweep behind the tee, 
 before or after the stone has been played, or while in motion. 
 
 Sec. S. If in sweeping or otherwise a running stone be marred by 
 any of the party to which it belongs, it shall be put off the ice ; if 
 by any of the adverse party, it shall be placed where the skip of tlie 
 party to which it belongs shall direct. If marred by any other 
 means the player shall replay his stone. Should any played stone 
 be accidentally displaced by any of- the opposing party before the 
 last stone is played, for the first offence it shall be replaced by the skip 
 to whom it belongs in as near its original position as possible before it 
 
 Note. — In all these preliminary drawings and descriptions, distinct reference is 
 to be made to the terms used in the prefixed diagram or plan called "The Rink."

 was displaced ; and for the second offence by the same party, the 
 opposing party shall have the privilege of declaring the end null and 
 void, or of replacing the stone. If a played stone is moved acci- 
 dentally by any of the party to whom it belongs, it shall be in the 
 decision of the opposing skip to replace the stone as nearly as pos- 
 sible to where it was before being moved, or to allow it to' remain 
 where it was accidentally moved to. No stone displaced by either 
 party shall be allowed to be moved if it has been struck or moved by 
 a running stone, before the claim for moving has been made. 
 
 Sec. 9. Each player to come provided with a besom, to be ready 
 to play when his turn comes, and not to take more than a reasonable 
 time to play his stone. Should he accidentally play a wrong stone, 
 any of the players may stop it while running ; if not stopped till it is 
 again at rest, it shall be replaced by the one which he ought to have 
 played. 
 
 Sec. 10. No measuring of shots allowed previous to the termina- 
 tion of the end. Disputed shots to be determined by the skips, or, if 
 they disagree, by the umpire ; or. when there is no umpire, by some 
 neutral person mutually chosen by them, whose decision shall be final. 
 All measurements to be taken from the centre of the tee, to the part 
 of the stone which is nearest to it. No stone shall be considered 
 within or without a circle unless it clear it ; and every stone shall be 
 held as resting on a line which does not completely clear it — in every 
 case that is to be determined by placing a square on the ice at that 
 part of the circle or line in dispute. 
 
 Sec. II. Each skip shall have the exclusive regulation and direc- 
 tion of the game for his party, and may play in what part of it he 
 pleases ; but having chosen his place at the beginning, he must retain 
 it till the end of the game ; but no skip, when his turn to play comes, 
 after having appointed one of his party to take charge for him, shall 
 
CURLING. 13 
 
 be allowed after leaving the ice to go back and examine the end, but 
 shall take directions from the party appointed by himself. The 
 players may give their advice, but cannot control their director ; nor 
 are they, upon any pretext, to address themselves to the person 
 about to play. Each skip, when his own turn to play comes, shall 
 name one of his party to take charge for him. Every player to fol- 
 low implicitly the directions given him. If any player shall improp- 
 erly speak to, taunt or interrupt another while in the act of delivering 
 his stone, one shot shall be added to the score of the party inter- 
 rupted, and the end proceed as before. 
 
 Sec. 12, If from any change of weather, after a game has been 
 begun, or from any other reasonable cause -whatsoever, one party 
 shall desire to shorten the rink, or to change to another one, and if 
 the two skips cannot agree upon it, the umpire for the occasion shall 
 be called, and he shall, after seeing one end played, dnermiiie 
 whether the rink shall be shortened, and how much, or whether it 
 shall be changed, and his determination shall be final and binding on 
 all parties. Should there be no umpire appointed for the occasion, 
 or should he be otherwise engaged, the two skips may call in any 
 curler unconnected with the disputing parties whose services can 
 most readily be got, and subject to the same conditions ; his power 
 shall be equally extensive as the umpire aforesaid. 
 
 Sec. 13. Should any question arise, the determination of» which is 
 not provided for by the words and spirit of the rules now established, 
 it may be referred to the Executive Committee. 
 
Rules for Local Competition. 
 POINT GAME. 
 
 1. Competitors shall draw lots for rotation of play, and shall use 
 two stones, 
 
 2. The length of the rink shall not exceed 42 yards ; any lesser dis- 
 tance shall be determined by the umpire. 
 
 3. Circles of 7 feet and 4 feet radius shall be drawn round the tee, 
 and a central line through the centre of the 4-foot circle to the hog- 
 score. 
 
 4. Every competitor shall play four shots at each of the eight 
 following points of the game, viz.: Striking, inwicking, drawing, 
 guarding, chap and lie, wick and curl in, raising and chipping the 
 winner, according to the following definition (See diagram next 
 page) : 
 
 5. In Nos 2, 6, 8 and 9, two chances on the left and two on the 
 right.

 Note. — It will save much time if in playing local matches, two rinks be prepared 
 lying parallel to each other, the tee of the one being at the reverse end of the other 
 rink, every competitor play both stones up the one rink, and immediately after- 
 wards both down the other, finishing thus at each round all the chances at that 
 point. It will also save time if a code of signals be arranged between tho marker 
 and the players, such as, the marker to raise one hand when 1 is scored, and both 
 hands when 2 are scored. In case of a miss hands to be kept down.

 UNBREAKABLE FEATURE OF SPALDING CLUBS 
 
 WE wish to draw p.irticular allenlion to the unbreakable quality of our 
 clubs. It is an impossibility to break them at the neck. We have 
 been experimenting for a long time and have discovered a process which, 
 iliho.ugh it increases'lhe cost of niaking a head nearly ^o per cent., leaves 
 It practically unbreakable. If placed in a vise and repeatedly struck with 
 a hai-nmer ihe neck ran be bent over, and by twisting back and forth can 
 be separated from Ihe head, but it is impossible to break one with any 
 kind of a direct blow In a recent test made by a well-known professional, 
 ii required all hisstrenglh with a large hammer to bend the neck sufficient 
 to separate it from the head.

 SPALDING'S ATHLETIC SWEATERS

 • HIGHEST QUALITY" SWEATERS 
 
 :ire made of the very finest Austrnh.m 
 l;imb's wool :ind are exceedingly soft and 
 pleasant to wear. They are full fashioned 
 to body and arms and without seams of 
 any kind. The various grades in our 
 ' • Highest Quality " Sweaters are identic 
 in quality and finish, the difference in 
 price being due entirely to variations in 
 weight. 
 
 We call special attention to the "Inter- 
 collegiate " grade, which was originally 
 made by special order for the Yale foot 
 ball eleven and are now exclusively used 
 by all Intercollegiate players. They are 
 considerably heavier than the heaviest 
 sweater ever knitted and cannot be fur- 
 nished by any other maker, as we have 
 exclusive control of this special weight. 
 
 No. A. "IntercoUegfate, special weight, - $6.00 
 No. B. Heavy Weight, - . - - 5.00

 Colors: White, Maroon, Navy Blue and Black. 
 Our No. 9 Sweater is made of pure wool, full shaped to 
 body and arms. It is guaranteed superior to any sweater 
 of equal price. Guaranteed absolutely all wool. 
 No. 9, Medium weight, $1 .50 
 
 Our No. 1 1 is not all wool, but contains more of it than 
 most sweaters usually sold as all wool sweaters at a high 
 price.

 SHAKER SWEATERS 
 
 We introduce this season a line of sweaters to fill » 
 demand for as heavy a weight as our '• Highest Qyality " 
 grade, but at a lower price, and after much experimenting, 
 we are in a position to offer this line in Black, Navy Blue, 
 Maroon or White, as follows : 
 
 No. I , Same weight as No. A, $4.50 
 No. 2. Same weight as No. B, 3.50 
 No. 3. Same weight as No. C, 2.75 
 
 These sweaters are the celebrated "Shaker" weave. 
 which we control, and at the above prices are absolutely 
 the best value for fine, heavy weight sweaters ever offered.

 SPALDING^S MOUNE PLATFORM 
 
 THE most delightfully exhilarating indoor exercise is unquestionably that of vigorously punch! 
 air-inflated bag against a reliable responsive disc. It has, unfortunately, been deterred from 
 its proper place as a home exerciser by the unwieldy size, weight and general 
 unsuitability of the. ordinary gymnasium disc and its many useless substitutes. 
 
 Our Moline Platform is adjustable in height, readily attached to any wall, and the 
 side bracket so arranged that it touches three rows of studding. 
 
 Neat in design and handsomely finished, it in no way detracts from the appearance 
 of the room, does not obstruct the light, and overcomes many other objectionable features 
 oMhe uld style disc usually costing double the price. The arrangement of the face of 
 the rim, permits of two speeds, slow and fast. The part designed for fast work is 
 much quicker than the fastest work obtainable in any other platform. 
 
 The changing of speeds is an entirely new and exclusive feature, and offer.-: a wide 
 range of clever combinations and scientific work. Each platform is supplied with 
 everything necessary for attaching to wall, and crated ready for shipment.
