Rossland Winter Carnival Recap and Curling Fortunes
Rossland 1899 winter carnival closes as a success with four days of sport. Nelson fared poorly in curling and hockey but claimed two first prizes in costume and boy’s race. Grant led Nelson curling, reaching semifinals and finals for several trophies. Victoria seniors beat Rossland in hockey. Nelson vows to prove itself later. Funeral services for G B I Cumming held at St Saviour's with large attendance.
