HOCKEY.

THE NEW ZEALAND TEAM. DRAWN GAME IN SYDNEY. SYDNEY, August 1. The New Zealand hockey team's first fixture in Sydney was the match against Metropolitan at Rushcutters Bay to-day. The game was played in beautiful weather, and ended in a draw, 4 all. The visitors' forwards displayed brilliant combination, enabling Turbitt and Reid to score. Metropolitan took a hand, and attacked, but excellent defence held them at bay until nearly half-time, when they scored twice, making the half-time score:—New Zealand 2, Metropolitan 2. The Metropolitan forwards showed better stick work after tho interval, but again found the New Zcalanders' defence solid. Then both sides scored a goal, the New Zealanders' being from a penalty corner. Wellbourne put his side in front with a scorching shot from the edge of the circle. Not long afterwards Hogg, for the locals, equalised.

The outstanding New Zealanders were Munro," Joblin, Turbitt and Wellbourne.

The New Zealand team defeated Tenterfield- on Saturday by fourteen goals to one. The visitors were far too good for their opponents. Turbitt and Anthony shone throughout. The former scored seven goals, Anthony six and Roberts one. The visitors were given a civic recej>tion at night. The local Mayor, Alderman Petherick, said that it was a compliment for a team from a sister Dominion to visit Tenterfield.

The manager, Mr Holland, replied, saying that the team was receiving the utmost hospitality.
