THOMAS BRODIE, Secretary. JAMES DEAN, President. Quebec, 31st December, 18«>8. H — RULES OF THE GAME. 1 . The length of the Eink played shall be forty-two yards. The Tcea shall bo put down thirty-eight yards apart. In a continued strait line with the Tees, and four yards distant from each, a circle, eighteen inches in diameter, shall bo drawn on the left hand side of said 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 Eules, each player, when playing his stone, shall place his right foot, and his left foot on the left hand side of the central line. (Tne 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 behind 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, and no stone to count which is wholly without this circle. The Hog-score to be distant from each Tee one-sixth part of the length of the whole Eink played. Every stone 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 Eink, half-way betwixt the Tees, which shall be called " The Middle line." In no case shall the Eink played be less than thirty-two yards. So soon as the Eink is marked off, and before beginning to play the Terms of the match or game must be distinc- — 9 — tly stated and fixed by the Skips, if they have not boon previously arranged. These terms may either be, that the parties shall play for a specified timef or a game of a certain number of shots. Though the terms have been previously fixed, they should here be repeated. 2. Every Eink to be composed of four players a side, each with two stones, unless otherwise mutually agreed upon. Before commencing the game, oach 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. Bach pair of players shall play one stone alternately with his opponent, till he has played both. 3. The two Skips opposing each other shall settle b}- 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. 4. Each party, before beginning to play, and during the course of each end, to be arranged along the sides of the Eink, any where betwixt the middle line and the Tee, which their skip may direct ; but no party, except when sweeping according to rule, shall go upon the middle of the Eink, nor cross it under any pretence whatever. The Skips alone lo stand at or about the Tee, as their turn requires. 5. If a player plays out of turn, the stone so played may be stopped in its progress and returned to the playei-. 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. 6. The sweeping departmeiil shall bo under the exclu- sive direction and control of the Skips. The player's th< pa] alv bQ so ro6 pui be she she dei res the at 1 be dec oou ma i-ea tha ace ato at ] to] ten by wh tha — 11 — party shall bo allowed to sweep when the stone has passed the middle lino, and till it reaches the Tee ; the adverse party when it has passed the Tee. The swooping to be always to a side, or across the Rink ; and no sweepings to be moved forwards, and loft in front of a running stone, HO as to stop or obstruct its course. 7. If in swooping or otherwise, a running stone be mar- rod by any of the party to which it belongs, it shall bo put off the ico : if by any of the adverse party, it shall be placed where the Skip of the party to which it belongs shall direct. If marred by any other means, the player shall replay his stone. Should any played stone be acci- dentally displaced, before the last stone is played and at rest, by any of tho party who are then lying the shot, thoy shall forfeit the end ; if by any of the losing party at that end, who have the stone yet to play, they nhall be prevented from playing that stone, and have one shot deducted from their score. The number of shots to be counted at said end by tho winners, to be decided by a majority of the players, the offender not having a vote. 8. Every 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 wj-ong stone, any of the players may stop it while running ; but if not stopped till it is again at rest, it shall be replaced by the one which he ought to have played. 9. No measuring of shots allowable previous to the termination 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 mutu- ally chosen bv them, whose decision shnll ho fijml \u measurements to be taken from the centre of the Tee, to that part of the stone which is nearest to it. No stone — 13 — nhall bo conHidered within or unthovt a cii'cle, imli-Hh it clear it ; and every Htono shall be bold m reni'm^ on n line, which dooK not comj^letely oieur it; — in every cRhe. thi8 iH to be determined by y)Iaoin^' n srol their director ; nor are they ujjon any pretext to address themselves to the person about to play. Kach Skip, when his own turn to play comes, shall ruime one of his party to take charge tor him. Kvcry jilayer to follow Implicitly the direction g'ven him. If any player siiall improperly speak to, taunt, or interru|>l another, while in the act of delivering his Blone, one shot shall be addeted, and the end proceed as before. 11. If, from any change of weatlier after a game has been begun, or from any other reasonable cause whatso ever, one party shall denire to shorten the Rink, or to change to another one, and, if the two Skips cannot af/ree upon it, the Umpire for the occasion shall be called, and he shall after seeing one end played, determine whether the Eink shall be shortened, and how much, or whether it shall be changed, and his determinaiiim shall be final and binding on all parties. Should there be no Umpire appointed ibr the occasion, or should he be otherwise engaged, the two Skips may call in any Curler uncon- nected with the disputing parties, whose services can his powers shall be equally extensive as the Umpire aforesaid.
