1st.--The Rink to be forty-two yards from tee to tee,[A]
unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties. When a
game is begun the rink cannot be changed or altered
[*** (omitted)]
5th.--Curling-stones must be of a circular shape.
No stone to be changed during a game,[B] unless it happen

[Footnote A: The Grand Caledonian Curling Club recommend that rinks
have double tees at each end, the one at least two yards behind the
other; the whole four to be nearly as possible on the same line.
The stones are to be delivered from the outer tee and played towards
the inner; this saves the ice from being injured around the tee
played up to.]

[Footnote B: With regard to double-soled stones, the Grand Caledonian
Curling Club has a law that the side commenced with shall not,
under forfeiture of the match, be changed during the progress of
the game.]

Multiple symbols

When a book uses symbols for footnote references, the proofreaders replace all of them with asterisks: [*]. Formatters replace those asterisks with A, B, C, etc. This page has two such footnotes.

The proofreaders did nothing special with the actual footnotes. Formatters enclose each of them in their own footnote tag. If the footnotes used symbols, we replace those symbols with the same letters we assigned in the corresponding references.
