HOCKEY

A TRIAL GAME. That th-3 hockey game has received a severe l)lo\v from the all-abiding interest m the present crisis was very evident at Karovi on Saturday afternoon, inere was only ono men's game played J-nis was between representative A'and «■ teams, a game that was played to give- tho selectors an opportunity of choosing the team that is shortly to journey to Auckland to endeavour to wrest tho sliield from tho present holders- In Saturday's game the A team was successful by i goals to 2. Louder v>, I*. Strack. and C. Strack scored tor the winners, and Emeny and Cavill tor the losers. It was evident from the samo that most of the A team, withone or two alterations, notably the halflino, will go to make the shield representative eleven. In spite of tho languishing interest in tho game locally, it was evident that Wellington will bo able to muster a team that will have, every hope of returning from the Queen City with the coveted shield.
