The hockey match, which took place at Levin between the Otaki and Foxlon teams was one of the fastest played for some time, writes the “Times” Otaki correspondent. Both teams showed good form and the match was one above the average. Foxton scored first, followed a quarter of an hour later b- Adsett scoring for Otaki. Thus the first spell ended. The second half was lively, but despite frantic attempts, no further score was registered, although forothe final ten minutes Otaki attacked strongly. Thanks to Paxton’s fine defence the net was not found, and the match thus ended in a draw. Air G. Noble was referee. ■ Playing at Levin the Y.M.C.A. defeated the R.S.A. by 3—3 after an interesting game. Sir H. Mitchell, patron of tho Otaki Club, has generously donated jßl.ls to the funds of tho club. MATCH AT MASTERTON. The Wairarapa correspondent of the "Times” telegraphs that a hockey match between Excelsior. (Masterton) and Greytown ended an a win for the former by 3 goals to 3. Foster (2) and Flaws scored for Ekcelsior, while the goals for Greytown were secured by Hamilton and Smith.
