How a speck of dust in a recent t'ours tourney in the South decided* the result on oue end has been referred to by one of the skips, S. Purdy, of Carl- | ton. The two skips had eaeh played one bowl which came to. rest on either side of the jack, both apparently touching. The thirds agreed -that-.the shofs were touchers and that the end wquljl have to be replayed, but it was decided to call in an iimpire. The, situation was closely inspected f rqrq all angles by an official, who ruled .that a speck oi; dirt or grit separated pne of the bowls- fiom the jack.' Thus, bv an uu"usually small measure, oue bowl was ruled out and the other too'k the shot.
