' On Saturday afternoon the _Ba.sin Reserve was dotted with vividly-appar* elled figures, all of them members of the various hockey teams which are taking part in the New Zealand Ladies' Hockey Tournament, which played its opening event that afternoon. Scarlet and black, blue and black, yellow and black, blue and white, were only some of the colours that stood out so effectively against the green background. To open in such good weather as that of Saturday was particularly fortunate, and as tlie proceeds of the tournament are to go towards the Wounded Soldiers' Fund it is to bo hoped that sunsliino will prevail during the rest of the week. Among the onlookers were Her Excellency the Countess of Liverpool, the Mayoress, Mrs. J. P. Luke, Mrs. T. M. Wilford, and Miss Harcourt, who were entertained. at afternoon tea in | the enclosure of the grandstand.
