HOCKEY.

GLENGARRY v. HINEMOA. A match was played on the Showgrounds, yesterday afternoon, between the Glengarry and Hinemoa (Carterton) teams. The game was a fast and interesting one, and good play was shown by both sides. Some brilliant work was done at times by the Glengarry team. The game resulted in a draw, neither side scoring. Hinemoa attacked at the commencement of the game, but fine play by Misses Pike, McGregor, McKenzie and Gordon removed play to the centre. Hinemoa returned to the attack. Exciting play followed, but mainly through the efforts of the Glengarry full-backs the pressure . was relieved. A Glengarry forward rush placed Hinemoa on the defence, but they eventually cleared their . line, and removed play to the centre. Give and take play ensued, and then Miss Pike was prominent in heading a Glengarry attack. A combined rush by the Hinemoa forwards placed Glengarry on the defensive. The visitors made strenuous efforts to score, but the home team's defence was too good. Misses McGregor, A. Davenport, and Gordon were instrum 'ntal in clearing the line. Misses A. Devenport, Hood and E. Devenpoitook the ball down the field, but hard hitting by the visitors removed play into the home team s territory. Give and take play took place for the remainder of the spell. In the second half some fine individual work was shown by both sides. Hinemoa led off with an attack, but clever play by Misses Logan, A. Devenport, McKensie, McGregor, Pike and Scott placed the visitors on the defensive. Hinemoa cleared their line, anl play centred. The visitors attacked strongly, and once or twice narrowly missed scoring, but the p-ood defence of Glengarry saved the s tuation. The remainder of the spell was evenly contested, and the final whittle sounded ,without any score. Mr !>. Iveson was referee. After the match Glengarry entertained the Hinemoa team at afternoon tea.

As soon as the second spell commenced, W.F.C.A. made a determined attack on their opponents' goal. W.F.C.A. held their lead for some time, and it seemed as though they would prove the winners.
