With perhaps the largest crowd that ever witnessed a curling match in the Brandon curling rink as spec tators, the Knight brothers played their game against Plair of Alexan der. It was for the capital prize at the benspiel, the Siften watches, and the beautiful big silver tankard. It was a good game to watch, the ice being so heavy and slushy, that stones WoUll Not Curl or draw. No wing ous have been nearer like crokinciethas the playing. In order to get to stones, even by sheer force to reach the oth er end, the handles were all placed on opposite side, leaving the bottom wire a month. What made the game interesting to the spectators was the knock-out shot and the trouble was for the players to get their ricks ove, the Same case wed thre. ‘Hot by ee ee EPT Ee Tim: ie.th first and one the second. The next end Blair got one on his raise. Knight took the next, and evened the score. Six to six. Through couch havy slugging, Knight chalked up three more in two ends Like a race horse Blair was after him, but he only got one the next end. _ The eleventh end Knight got ano ther, making the score ten to seven on the opening of the last end. The Blair men were using all their strength to wilt, and they knew blair had last shot, and by the time, this came they were tying two. He want ed another. He tried a raise show. if he got it, he would tie the score. He shot with all his might. Down the ice it came fast at first, but stowed down in the water. He had missed it. The watches belonged to the Knights. Blair and Knight played off last winter for the Sifton watches, and the Alexander rink proved them selves the stronger. The Knightts have been in the finals four times for the Sifton watches and have won them twice. Kennedy having presented him with a young wWugster.
