HOCKEY.

WEDNESDAY ASSOCIATION. The games? under the auspices of tho Wednesday Association advanced another stage yesterday afternoon. Tho PakchaKarori match was a hard-fought game from start to finish, and Fakcha (playing with ten men) deserved their win. Petono A had rather an easy victory over Hereawa. The forwards scorned to bo out after the open stylo, .and they exhibited much better combination than has been the case in tho last two matches. Ilui Mai put up the surprise of the day by defeating tho Post and Telegraph representatives! PAKEIIA, 2; KAHOIU, 0. From tho start of tho first spell Fakcha attacked, but tho fine defence of Karon's full-backs drove play back into Pakeha's quarters. For a time after play was in the centre of tho field, and then somu pretty passing between Gracie, Thompson, Jackson, and Simpson enabled Gracie lu notch the first goal for Pnkoha. A few minutes after plav had restarted Dye/ (Karori) had bad luck, his shot at goal only missing the net by inches. Shortly afterwards Draw CPaMa's goalkeej?er;

made a. good "save," kicking the. ball away from under tho striker's stick, .lust before half-timo Karori missed a good chance to score through tho striker giving "sticks."

In tho second spell play for some time was very even, and if anything in favour of Karori, but the fine defence of Paget and .Perry saved IVikohn. time after time. Pakoha eventually carried the play intfl Karon's circle, and Grade, by a tino back-handed stroke, scored the second goal. Karori again experienced hard luck in not scoring. F. Spioro broke away from the half-wav line, and boating tho lot stumbled when lie was essaying his shot nt goal, tho ball just grazing the post. When the whittle sounded for time play was in mid-field.

For Hie winners, Gracie, Thompson, Paget, and Dwyer were the pick of a good lot. For Karori, Gayford, F. Spiers, Low,.and Cooper played well. Mr. G. Carver wast referee.
