WOMEN'S TEST.

, d ' NEW ZEALAND BEATS FIJI. te • ■, • VICTORIOUS BY FOUR GOALS. •i, i (By Telegraph.—Presp Association.) 1_ WELLINGTON, Saturday, d The women's hockey Test between Fiji »t and New Zealand was played on the Basin K Reserve this afternoon in the presence of a large number of spectators, including 11 her Excellency Lady Galway, to whom s i the players were presented. New Zealand had most of the play in the first Is half and nttacked the Fiji goal frequently, e excellent play by Mrs. Fenn (Fiji -fulle buck) spoiling many promising movements. Miss Sheriff opened the scoring for New Zealand by putting a soft shot past the I Fiji goalie, who was caught unawares, s Mrs. Bentlcy, playing on the Fiji left !l " wing, was one of the most enterprising r players on the visitors' side, buc did not receive sufficient support from her inside forwards. Half-time score was: New Zea- ! land 1, Fiji 0. ; In the second half New Zealand attacked from the bully, but a good save by Miss Storck saved well. The Fijian forwards broke away on several occasions, but did not succeed in breaking through the New Zealand defence. Miss Pickering gave a good display as the Now Zealand wing, centring accurately and showing great sjieed. Miss Sutherland, the Fiji captain, received a pass from Miss Raffles in a good position in front of the New Zealand goal, but miss-hit, and the shot went wide. New Zealand had several chances from corners, but hasty shooting let them go t by. New Zealand's second score was , notched by Miss Sheriff from a scramble in \ front of the goal mouth. A minute later Mrs. Reed added another. From the bully j tlie ball went to Miss McKenzie, who netted a further score. Tho final score I was : — New Zealand 4 I Fiji 0 t t GRADE GAMES. !
