The curlieg season in Canada starts about December 15 and continues un- til about the middle of March. For the greater part of four months: the "roarin' game holds sway in nearly every Canadian city and town -and • its devotees are numbered in thousands. In the cities• where tate gain& 15 played in covered rinks, there is little or no interruption' from thaws. However in the; towns and villages where pond or Jake supplde•s the surface, the weather is always an important 'factor In the success or the season's play. Bonspiele are held in nearly every section of the Dominion, and many inter-olub competitions• are carried along. In the Maritimes the important event of the season is the series of interprovincial contests for the Mc- Celelan sup, donated by ,the late Hon. A, - R: McCleian, former Lieutenant - Governor of New Brunswick. The an- nual competition for the Governor - General's trophy is one of the blue rib- bon events of curling in Eastern Can- ada, the finals taking place on the rinks at"Rideau Hall, Ottawa, the of- ficial residence of tme 'Governor-Gen- eral of Canada. Each provincial branch in the West holds its regular inter -club contests but to curlers in the Prairie Provinces thea Winnipeg meet; which has become the greatest bonspiel in the world, is the big event of the season. Matches are held at in- tervals between Canadian. and Scot- tish rinks, alternately in Scotland and in Canada, for the Strathcona Cup, and the skill Canadian curlers have attain- ed is attested by the success they have achieved in a series of years in these contests. As each ,succeeding year rolls by there is a greater appreciation of Can- ada's winter season. The appeal of the out-ofMdoors is becoming as strong dur- ing the months of ice and snow as in the summer time, and no small part in this beneficial Movement is due to the popularity of curling. Both sexes are enjoying this great.eport and, as in other lines of outdoor recreation, with benefit to the national health. Curling, which Is akin' to the sum- mer game of golf in its eplieal .andits lthysfoal demands, is rapidly becoming one of Canada's most popular whiter pastimes•. The ideal conditions which prevail during the winter season have, gained for the Dominion the name of '".-lib Curlers' Paradise." Nearly every . province has its branch of the Royal Caledonian Curling Club et Scotland, the parent b:ocly of the sport, and every sphere of social life in Canada is re - Presented among its devotees. Apart from the intense interest aroused by the game itself, 'curling wields other and more potent in- fluences. Wherever curlers meet there is formed a brotherhood of geodfellow- ship in which men from all walks of life fraternize and in which the donors go to him -who makes the best shot. The best curler is the man who "plays the game" end the qualities. so devel- oped are reflected in the success of the individual in the social and business life of the country, Just'"when the first curling match took plane in Canada is uncertain. It is elaimed that the Highlanders who served under General Wolfe played the game' at Quebec and there is little doubt that curling was played'in other parts of Canada (Lower and Upper). before the formation of the Royal Montreal Club in 1807.
