HOCKEY.
WELLINGTON BEATS NELSON. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night The fifth hockey shield match wag played on Saturday at Day's Bay, when Wellington defeated Nelson by 6 goato to 4. The weather conditions were splendid. The game was disappointing as a display of scientific hockey. , Wellington had not taken the challenge seriously, and were not in a state of preparation; consequently their play was not at its best. Nelson played very well individually, but they lacked combination and finish, and were generally inexperienced. Wellington won the toss, and the visitors had to play against the sun. Nelson made the firs,t score, in SSO seconds, lor which WhitweU was responsible. The first spell ended, Nelson 3, Wellington 2. Wellington scored first in the second spell, and play was spirited, Several good rushes eventuated, bub | Nelson were only able to add one more J goal to their score. Wellington ran their j score up to six, and when the whistle J sounded for time the pace was faster than at any stage of the game. Messrs. Garner and Falconer were the referee*.
