HOCKEY.

THE "AGE" CUP. HIGH SCHOOL v. KIWI. A match in which considerable interest was taken was played on the Schoolgrounds this afternoon, between the Kiwi (Dalefield) and the Masterton District High School teams. The game was productive of some very good hockey, and was fast and keenly contested all through. The following were the teams:—Masterton District High School. —Goalkeeper, Miss G. Evernden; full backs, Misses I. McKenzie and J. Millar; half backs, Misses E. Dagg, R. Wilton, G. Lett; forwards, Misses 0. Dagg, V. Hunter. M. Reid, B. Scott, C. McKenzie. Lalefield. Goalkeeper, Miss L. Smith; full hacks, Misses I. Lindop, R. Abuott; half backs, Misses M. Harding, A. West, V. Sayer; forwards, Misses M. Reading, B. Ordish, M. West, B. Waterson, A. Neilson. The first spell saw some brilliant rushes on the part of the School team, Misses B. Scott, M. Reid, and 0. Dagg giving the opposing team plenty of work to do to defend. In this latter respect Miss L. Smith, Abbott and M. West put in some splendid play. The determination of the home team was at last rewarded, Miss Scott scoring a pretty goal. Shortly after, from another rush, in which Misses 0. Dagg, B. Scott and R. Wilton were prominent, the former scored. There was ho further score during the spell. In the second spell both teams made the play faster, and good combined work by both sides was witnessed. The Kiwi forwards played with great dash, and several times swept down the field, only to be sent back by the good hitting of Misses I. McKenzie and J. Millar. Towards the close of the spell Misses Scott, C. McKenzie, M, Reid, V. Hunter, and O. Dagg repeatedly attacked the visitors' goal, but the defence was too sound, and the whistle sounded without any further score being recorded, the school thus winning by two goals to nil. Mr B. Iveson was referee. The Kiwi team were afterwards entertained by the School team at afternoon tea,

HUIA v. RAMBLER. The Huia and Rambler teams played a drawn game on hte Showgrounds, there being no score. The game was an interesting one, and keenly contested. Mr C. Carley controlled the game in a firm and impartial manner. Some tricky line work was indulged in by Misses Fintiis and RIcTT ards for Huia. Miss Finnis played the best forward game on the ground, and was ably assisted by Misses Richards and Dalrymple. Miss Ball was the pick of the Huia backs. Miss O'Toole (Rambler) was the best of the backs on either side, while of the forwards Misses Logan,

Easthope. K. O'Leary and Kyle played well. KIA TOA v. HINEMOA. Kia Toa (Greytown) defeated Hinemoa (Carterton), at Carterton, by seven goals to nil.
