This instructional publication outlines the rules, gameplay, and history of curling as it is practiced in Canada, primarily focusing on the activities of the Toronto Curling Club. The manual aims to promote understanding and participation in this winter sport, which was gaining popularity in Canada during that period. The book is divided into two main parts: the first section details the mechanics of curling, including descriptions of the stones used, details about the rink, and the specific techniques involved in playing, including sweeping and the strategic aspects of the game. Bicket provides a thorough overview of the rules governing the sport as well as a glossary of curling terms. The second part presents a brief history of curling, tracing its origins in Scotland and its establishment in Canada. It emphasizes the growing enthusiasm for curling in Canada and the importance of club organization in fostering community and competitive play among enthusiasts. Overall, the manual serves both as a resource for novice curlers and as a historical document reflecting the emergence of curling as a respected sport in the Canadian winter landscape.
