Ladies' Hockey Matches.

"Here she comes—O excellent motion."

—Two Gent. Of Verona.

Our versatile representatives in Dunedin also included in their ranks a ladies' team of hockey players, who tried their skill with teams Otago and Canterbury.

The first match v Otago, took place at Anderson's Bay on Monday morning before the sports. The opening stage were not particularly brilliant, due to lack of combination, and the exigencies of the ground, which was intersected by asphalt cricket pitches. In the forwards ranks Misses Allen and Matheson O. U., and Misses Johnston and Tavendale, V. C. were always prominent. Miss Cox was a tower of strength to our back division. First spell ended 2 all.

With five minutes to go, honours were even, three goals all, but with a last despairing effort V. C. scored again and won the match 4—3.

Morning tea was to be served to all contestants : Rawdon Beere agreed to be referee.

The game with Canterbury College was played on the Carisbrook ground, late on Tuesday afternoon. The Canterbury team was shorthanded and our girls made no race of it, winning a one—sided game by 5 goals to 0.
