Mr. Kennedy said he started curl- " ing in 1901 in the old rink next the Agricultural Building. His skip was Alex. Brownlee; and the first year he won a pair of curling stones 'don- ' ated by James Vair. The names of Alex. Brownlee and Donald Mc- Niven were mentioned as curling in those days.

Inquiry this afternoon at the home of `Mrs. James Marlin, where her mother, Mrs. Thomas Walton, is today observing her 100th -birth- day, brought the information that the aged lady is indisposed and had been ordered to bed by her doc- tor. Nothing serious is anticipat- edm, Mrs. Walton having frequently shown remarkable recuperative powers, last winter recovering from an attack of pneumonia.
