UNINTERESTING MATCHES. University 4 Wellington 1 Karori 3 St. Augustine's 0 United 3 insurance 2 The three first-grade hockey games on Saturday were anything but first grade in tha real sense. United, surprising to relate, found some difficulty in defeating Insurance. University easily accounted for Wellington, While Karori defeated St. Augustine's aftor a.'uther hard game. Details of the various games are as follow:— UNITED-INSURANCE. The battle between United and Insurance was interesting, only that the latter were in the lead in the second spoil, and appeared likely to defeat United. Unitea were'handicapped, howover, in that they were without the services of Boyd and were unable to nil his plaoe. The first spell saw no score at all. When the second spell opened Lyons was successful for United. Then Insurance, per medium of Straclc, evened matters, and shortly were in the lead. United rallied, and by the time the whistle sounded Emeny and Parfitt had scored—3—2. Mr. G. Carver was referee. UNIVERSITY—WELLINGTON. The meeting between University and Wellington produced an uninteresting game, in which University—or rather their forward line—triumphed. Wellington were playing one man. short, ueorge and Karl Strack scored in the first spell, and Hostick twice in the second. Wellington's inevitable goalgetter Sheeran scored the only goal for the losers. Mr. J. Keall was referee. KARORI—ST. AUGUSTINE'S.
