A WESTPORT LAMENT. WESTPORT, June 15. General disappointment is expressed in the Buller district that not a single Buller player has been chosen in the hockey team to represent New Zealand. It was generally expected that H. Looker, who brilliantly represented New Zealand on the Australian tour, and who is playing better hockey to-day. would have been selected. The area from Westland right round to Marlborough finds not one representative in either the New Zealand Hockey or the New Zealand Rugby teams, and yet nowhere in the Dominion is the interest, in these games keener than in this extended area.
