DETAILS OF SENIOR A GAMES WAKATU V. RAMBLERS. This match was, played on No. 1 ground, and proved, without doubt, tho best game of the day, and provided the spectators with a fast and interesting exhibition of hockey. The excellent combination of the Wakatu forward line was again responsible for adding another win to their list. The work of the Ramblers' backs was, however, superior to that of their opponents’ backs, Trilford and Blizzard doing particularly good work. D. Hood, Stratton and Wilson secured the goals for the winners, and Trilford and Ileaphy for the losers. Mr. Lloyd controlled the game. HUIA V. WESLEY. This game was of a fast and willing nature throughout, and proved a good exhibition of' the game to a fair number of spectators.
