We remind our hockey friends and enthusiasts of the five-asido tournament to bo held on Wednesday next on the Otaki Domain, and for the sake of a popular sport we hopo to sec not only a large attendance of players, but also of spectators. Tho games botween the various clubs should bo interesting, and therefore a good afternoon sport provided. f A meeting of hockey enthusiasts will be held in Bovin this week, when it is hopod to laiso two, perhaps three, teams. For the past season or so Bovin has been las in respect to hockey, but there is no reason why some good teams should not take the field.
