Officials of the bonsplel have announced that rinks will compete for the seven trophies and 60 individual prizes which have been put up for omn- petttlon. At least 40 of the 0Q- peting rinks will be from outside the Province and entries have been received from representative com- munities in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick.
